Day 1

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.
