So, truth is, when i lost weight two years ago, i wasnt eating healthy...still ate the fried stuff and all the crap but in moderation. I gained all the weight back...because i didnt learn that i had to make a lifestyle change for my whole entire life. These probably have been the first 2 days, in my whole life where i didnt eat junk, or fried food in sunflower oil..or the bad carbs! I cant believe ive done it so seemlessly!!! im so happy. I know this might not be an achievement for many people, but ive felt so much better about my life in the past two days then i ever have. My thinking is clear, no bloating, oh and so much motivation for weightloss! wooooo!

    That is a HUGE improvement!!! I am extremely happy for you! It is very difficult to give up all the "yucky" foods we love so much!!! Keep your eye on the ball!... I used to eat fast food daily..... got prego.... had gestational diabetes......in other words I was forced to give up all the "crap" food...... two years later I now CANT STAND the taste of fast food, much less the smell of driving past the places!!! :) it is amazing!!

    ME: Hello, My name is Chuluotababe (my friend gave me that name and it's an inside joke) and I'm addicted to fast food.
    ALL: Hi Chuluotababe
    ME: It's been 5 months since I've had my last Big Mac.
    ALL: <Applause>

    Ok so this is a little exaggerated but you get the point... fast foods, fried foods, etc. they are seriously addicting. Have you ever seen "Supersize Me" ? These chemicals alter your brain. Everyday you go without fast food is a huge victory. Pat yourself on the back and keep up the great work!

    (Oh and P.S. I'm NOT mocking AA... they have SAVED my family. I could use something like this for my iPhone addiction.)

    Good for you...keep doing that and the bad food isn't even going to taste good anymore! I had a major realization last night when I saw a pizza commercial (which used to always make me drool) and felt NOTHING! Great job!
