Day 1
July 9, 2008
So I did it…I finally decided to take the plunge and try this crazy diet.
Why?
Well because I’m sick of being tired, sick of feeling lazy…you know the drill. I hung out with my sister and my Mom and they have both been on this program for a few weeks. This was July 4th weekend and I was AMAZED at their will power and sheer determination.
My mom is the one that impressed me the most. It’s a sad thing but my mom is an alcoholic. Don’t get me wrong, she’s a beautiful, smart, funny and incredibly strong woman..but she has always struggled wth alcohol. This is a woman that smoked for 40 years and then just decided one day enough was enough. Quit cold turkey. Well..she’s doing the same with this diet. She has been alcohol free now for 2 weeks. That is huge! The way I look at it, if she can do this diet AND stop drinking I can definitely do the diet part. I’m not a drinker but my addicition has always been food. If she can overcome both of these things, I can surely get through the food part.
So after being around the two of them, I decided to just stop the bitchin and just do it.
Day 1
If anyone tells you this diet is easy…they are flat out lying to you. LOL. It’s not. Especially if all you do is think about food all day. It wasn’t easy but I did manage to eat my 6 cookies (ok..lets be real..they aren’t cookies…they are more like flavored cardboard). I was so looking forward to dinner. Chicken never tasted so good. 
Enough for now…I want to keep these pretty short so onto Day 2.

I’m starting Siegels Cookie Diet on Monday. This weekend I’ll clear the fridge of beer and junk food. I’ve been a complete food addict taking in as much crap as I can until my cookie shipment arrives. Gross, huh? Well, I’m also an alcoholic, and like your mom, fun, successful, only drink on weekends, etc. But, I am concerned if I can give up my weekend beer binges on this diet. I’m sick of being out of control. Thanks for your honest post. I feel inspired.

Lisa, you can do this! I am on day 12 and going strong. Go day by day or even meal by meal. Drink lots of water. Your body will start craving it. I know get dry mouth if I don’t drink enough. I’m starting to pay attention to what my body is saying. Last night, my body told me I needed a glass of white wine, so I had one.
No…seriously..I did have the wine but I didn’t eat one of my cookies. It was the best glass of wine ever.
Good luck and come make and let me know how it goes.
