I really didn't think that I was going to survive yesterday....And I didn't think that it was going to be this exciting as well as accomplishable (is that a word?).

Yesterday, I had a lot of stressors being thrown at me. It seemed heightened. I wasn't able to run to my comfort foods. I took every single advice I got from here. I was so nervous and really on the verge of what it felt like, going nuts (mildly probably). I fought it tho. I wanted to badly to go to the store and buy some cookies...but NO! I went other places. Met with people.....slowed down....and when I went to the store to buy dinner...I bought NOTHING unhealthy. I was so proud!

I'm on day #3 of this diet. I feel satisfied and already starting to feel more energy. I'm really excited about all of this now.

Thank you everyone for your support!

    Whoo who! good for you! Its really helps to think "Do I really want this more than i want to be skinny?" I had a hard day yesterday (BIG birthday party with yummy junk food) but i thought about it and didn't cheat one time!!:noway: Thats like amazing for me! Its so nice to hear someone went though the same thing as me :smile:

    Definitely agree with diet being a bad word. You are making a lifestyle change and it is sometimes going to be a bumpy journey but eventually the road smooths out when new things start to become habits!

    good job resisting old habits!:happy:
