    I am doing good and on day 4 of no processed foods or sugar. The weekends are what kill me though. I hope to keep this going. I like this 10 day challenge - I should be able to do this for just 10 days right? Best to you all.

    1/22 No processed foods or sugar
    1/23 No processed foods or sugar
    1/24No processed foods or sugar

    Wow! It's such a serious challenge to tackle and you're doing it. After three days can you tell a difference in how you feel mentally? I've just stumbled upon Robert Lustig and Christopher Palmer's publications on their research into sugar and gut and brain health; I wonder if you notice a difference so soon after beginning.

    THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
    REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.
    • Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
    • A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
    • Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
    • The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
    • Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
    • The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
    • When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
    • Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.
    Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

    @pezhed I find it upsetting to see how much food the kids waste too. I don't want to push them to finish everything on their plate because my weight problems are not helped by me always finishing what is on my plate even when I am full. I will try giving them less and letting them get extra if they ask for it. But DH won't take leftovers for lunch and I typically only eat vegetables for lunch so I could try cooking less. But then what if they want extra? I wish I could find a good solution.

    @refactored I agree! I think it is major mistake to force children to eat just for the sake of proving a point that food should not be wasted.
