My first week.

IrishEssence

Well, today marks my first week that I have seriously sat down, planned and stuck to my diet. I have been eating mostly fruits and vegetables (fresh) and enjoying every bit of it. Yesterday and today, I felt amazing. I had tons and tons of energy. I woke up in a great mood along with a smile on my face. I get full now, which I have never authentically experienced. Excitement dwells in me and you can tell by the grin on my face. I only wish I did this sooner as I clearly see a great future for me where I'm healthier and happier. Not to mention, the support I receive from here is wonderful. I will continue to keep updates for all as I hope it is to motivate those who felt like me, who were in my shoes.

Hey man, I remember how hard it was to give up junk food, which was all I ate. All I can remember were the migraines the first 2 days, but then at the end of the week I felt so energetic all the time [which was weird since I cut out caffeine and used to be a major caffeine drinker]. Now, after a month of cutting out all junk foods and only drinking nothing but water, I feel great all the time. I've noticed it, my family's noticed it, and my friends have noticed it. Keep up the good work, mate. [:

Congrats! :flowerforyou:

I felt like I had the flu for about a week after I cut out a lot of sugar (and caffeine along with it) and then suddenly, all that went away, and I felt awesome! I can get by on less sleep now because I sleep so much more soundly. My mood is better during the day too, no more mood swings or midday crashes. Feels great! Glad you are having so much success!

Thanks so much. I also was a caffeine addict. Now only drinking water and juice, I have noticed I feel so much better. Energy is always on and in general, just amazing.
