I am so inspired by everyone’s focus and tenacity!! I thought of you all while I was navigating my first real holiday challenges these past few days, and you inspired me not to give in!
What I learned:
1. There is ALWAYS an alternative to “the old way of eating!”
—- a hot dog 🌭 tastes just as good
(and easily slides thru the bun so you
just eat the meat) at the fireworks!
— a low carb, ice cold ‘hard’ seltzer was
a nice treat while friends enjoyed beer
—on a trip with a group who decided it
was time to go out for pizza (my former
FAVORITE), an appetizer-sized dish of
Sausage and peppers plus a side salad
was a perfect lower carb alternative
(although the pizzas on the table looked
delicious!)
Bottom line is that we need to cherish and celebrate ourselves!!! Happy holidays, all!!3 -
PS: I have to work on not feeling apologetic and self-conscious when I’m out with others and making these food choices... anyone have any tips?0

Saturday check in
Calories under
Exercise- killed it yesterday!
I'm still not feeling good from the 4th, aside of having the flu i don't recall ever not having an appetite. Weird how eating differently can hit so hard. I'm planning on working out still but will see how I'm feeling. Have a wonderful Saturday everyone!1 -

I think it takes time - you have to be comfortable with the choices and they're still new....it's almost that you are apologizing to you. I had a hard time with this when I first began because I *knew* how odd it was for me to do this food 180 flip-flop, how unnatural it would look to others and, frankly, I felt like a stranger and impostor in my own skin. Suddenly, I went from the one whipping up batches of yummyiness and planning elaborate feasts to the one who watched every bite, become somewhat obsessive, made low (name the cal, carb, sugar, whatever) so that it fit my plan. Over time I adapted and it wasn't so foreign - and people asked me for tips and hints as I peeled off the weight over several years. I eventually went to ballgames with fruit and yogurt so that I had snacks, too - and thought nothing of it. I stopped feeling apologetic and began to be comfortable with a new lifestyle - and indeed, a new life.
Your choices show you are on the right path. It's ok to not know what's around the next bend or to suddenly be in a storm because you'll come to understand your path in ways that will continue to excite and amaze you. => You'll be ok with occasional rainstorms and enjoy the sunshine of your choices and everyone around you will also adapt and they will become comfortable with the new you, with you. You are doing well and you are an inspiration to us, too. =>1 -

Been a really disappointing week. Ate extra calories everyday and didn't eat healthy. I didn't put on too much weight considering how badly I ate.
Goal for next week is to eat more mindfully and healthier with no snacking.2 -

It happens! Remind yourself that every day is a new day and an opportunity to make different choices. The fact that you're here, that you actually got on the scale (I might not have) and faced it head-on shows how strong you are! You can do it!

Thought for the day: ( Mika Brzezinski, on taking control of her attachment to sugary foods)
“It’s been hard, but it feels so good. I don’t feel alone, and I don’t feel like I am denying myself. I feel like I’m giving myself something, which completely changes my relationship with the problem!”1 -

Great job finding healthier options. That’s really what this is all about. Lifestyle changes each and every day. You did great!2 -
PS: I have to work on not feeling apologetic and self-conscious when I’m out with others and making these food choices... anyone have any tips?
Why should you apologize for making the choices that are best for you and your body? You are setting a good example of healthy living. Don’t be self-conscious about that. Don’t be judgmental of others either, which I’m sure you aren’t! But definitely don’t feel like you’re doing something wrong. The longer you do this, the more your body will thank you. Just wait until you realize that ice cold, crispy lettuce and veggies is calling your name more than the pizza. That day WILL come!2
