    Going for 8 days.

    3/24✅
    3/25✅Perfect food day, finally—not just sugar. Hunger gone again! What I eat does affect my hunger!
    3/26✅Finally, I’m on a roll again!
    3/27✅It’s working!
    3/28
    3/29
    3/30
    3/31

    OK Daily:
    Up to 1 oz dark choc in 1/2 oz at meals only.
    Up to 53g Kashi Flax cereal

    Note to self:
    Even a little can seem fine, but repeatedly you’ve found it mushrooms until you’re eating out & the scale keeps climbing. Admit it to yourself. NO SUGAR. Go. Back to your prior way of eating. You were never hungry & you never had this fear of regaining & negating all of your hard work...

    I'm back in the fight now. Here's a 10 minute video I found interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBtslkL5nUA

    We went 30 days without sugar and what happened.

    I started on April 1st and I have done really well. I was on vacation last week and went overboard. So today I'm doing well. I have planned to do no sugar for this month. So far so good.
  • I'm in. I will be back after if I will be successful. With the before and after results. 😊.

    7/12 days isn’t bad at all! You had a lot of 3-in-a-rows too. How are you feeling as a result?

    That’s not just okay, that’s great! The whole point if the challenge is to open up our eyes to ways we can make simple changes to our diet. Even just going 2 days is a big step forward, especially when eliminating something completely from your diet can take time to get used to.

    Doing the 1-week challenge again, but this time I have more reasoning.

    I got sick earlier this week and felt completely awful, and I just hated the way it felt. I know that it was the stomach flu, but in part I believe it to be because of how much I ate in the prior week. Normally when I get really sick I’ll go into a fasting state and lose some weight (which is normally water weight), but it wasn’t the case this time and instead of losing weight I felt awful cramps in my stomach, which lead me to believe that the inconsistency of my diet had contributed to the how I felt this past week. I’m determined to get my life into check and to my goal weight by June.

    4/3 ❌a WHOLE dessert AND 1/2 dessert
    4/4❌ banana bread, vanilla yogurt, 2 cookies (brought by friend)

    Starting over!
    4/5 ❌ dessert - did NOT feel well after eating that. Made it so I didn’t eat dessert 4/6. Maybe I’m learning!
    4/6 ✅ but had some fried foods- still a lil queasy 10 hours later. Lesson learned. No sugar!

    The Plan:
    Up to 1 oz dark choc at meals only.
    Up to 53g Kashi Flax cereal
    Up to one sweet pastry per day if weight is under 155.

    7/12 days isn’t bad at all! You had a lot of 3-in-a-rows too. How are you feeling as a result?

    @Stormtrooper101 I feel much more mindful of what I’m eating & how I feel. I absolutely feel the best with my home-cooked healthy fare. I’m getting to the point where I remind myself “last time you ate this, you didn’t feel so well.” It helps!

    Good luck with your challenge & ty for your encouragement!
  • Today is my day 4. I'm so happy ☺ I can passed day 3 easily than day 1 was hard. I want to do this 21days. And continue for 3 months. And today's my 2 weeks Intermittent fasting 20/4 windows. 🙈. I will be back to show the results.

    Started the week long yesterday, already messed up, but that’s okay. I just got hit with late night cravings and things took over from there, and this showed me that I have to be more mentally strong.

    4/8: ❌ 4 oreos and 4 chips ahoy cookies
