Steak with spinach salad and salsa for lunch.
Chicken with spinach salad and salsa for dinner.
No headaches, no hunger pains, nothing!!
Only cravings I had were ice cream with Brian came home with some. Sigh.
The saying "you control food, food doesn't control you" has really taken over my life. It's so simple and it's such a "no duh" way of thinking.
BUT...there is the other sayings "one won't hurt," "I'll just have one," "This one and I'll be done" that really drag you and your goals down.
How many times have YOU said "Just one cookie." "Just one..."
But really can you honestly just have ONE? Before you know it you've eaten 5. Or maybe you only ate 2...but still. It was ONE MORE then you told yourself you were going to eat.
Realizing that YOU control your mind and your body and holding yourself to your goals, is a really an m.powering* feeling.
I am doing this diet not just to lose weight, but to prove that I CAN control what I eat and how I feel about myself.

Wear your pride - share your confidence and help those who need it <3
A little twist on your "Just one..." thing. Yes, you could *probably* have just one cookie... but more importantly, you have JUST ONE life. JUST ONE chance to make the best out of today that you can. You will never have this exact moment again, so use JUST ONE moment to tell yourself "No, I won't eat that (it's not good for me!)"... or "Yes, I will do that (activity you don't want to do)"...
