Success tastes sweet

I started the 4th of august. I have been sticking to the plan, staying under my calories, and eating less processed food, more protien and whole grains, and exercising regularly. Today is the 6th of Sept I have lost 12 pounds so far, look alot thinner than I did a month ago, and feel alot better then I have in a while. I hope that everyone else is having success also. Remember to eat to live, not live to eat. I have also noticed that I crave the good foods now, and alot of the things that I used to like to eat taste bad now. It is either too salty or sweet. Take for instance: one day I went to mcdonalds and got a sausage biscuit cause I was really low on my calories for the day. It tasted like crap. I felt like i was eating a salt sandwich... needless to say I wont be doing that again for a long time if ever. Another instance: my girlfriend and I went to cracker barrel for dinner one night. It was our splurge night, so for dessert I got a pice of the carrot cake with a scoop of ice cream on the side and we split it. I had the greatest sugar rush that I have ever experienced. I was bouncing off of the walls. And to think that I used to eat a whole dessert and it not phase me, well that is just insane. I actually stayed under my calories that night cause when i got home I was soo tired after the sugar wore off I slept the entire night.(i am usually up all night cause I work nights)

Just remember to keep working at it and never give up and all of us can reach our goals!!!

Just thought I would share my small victories over the last month. I have a long way to go, but I am positive that I will reach my goals. I cant wait until my family sees me for my B-day at the end of the month. Alot of them are over weight also. I hope to get them on here and set them in the right direction.

That's fantastic! Regarding McDonald's, I went out to visit my folks (I'm in Virginia and they're in Indiana) and grabbed a McDonald's cheeseburger and fries while on the road. I used to like this a lot. Now it wasn't very good. Since I enjoy seeing the country-side, I guess I'll have to start taking good food with me.

This post is so inspiring and uplifting! Thanks for sharing! I've had many of the same feelings as you. I'm 95% whole-foodie and I agree, nasty, processed foods don't taste the same as I once loved. Keep up the good work!!
