day 1.5 (the hard part)

Options
I have a headache and Im hungry and Iam avoiding the bowl of sweet yummy sugary crunchy cereal that my kids got to have for breakfast... Im so jelous... Hopefully my egg and whole wheat toast will taste just as good, I think if I can get through the first 2 weeks then things will get alot easier. Its just hard right now, bad habits are so hard to break!

    You WILL get past this part - I'm reading your post and thinking whole wheat toast/egg sounds so much more satisfying than sugary cereal! Hang tough and you will get there :)

    Whole wheat toast and an egg, yum! Those will keep you feeling more satisfied for much longer today. You won't get that sugar crash later, either. If you really want something sweet, get some low sugar jelly for your toast.

    The headache is probably from withdrawl - it won't last long and it'll be so so worth it so don't worry and don't give up!

    Start making the changes for the whole family, they all can have eggs and toast then the temptation is gone!

    I too found the first week to two weeks to be the hardest, but you will get through it!! Before long you will be looking at the sugary cereal and wonder why it ever was a craving???
