OK, I have tried three times on my mouseless computer to move the template and if I get any more frustrated I'm going for a candy bar!! I will practice for next time .
First full week back, lost 8 lbs.
Struggling in all areas with cravings, habits, feelings, biology
So, banana in hand and oatmeal on the stove, I push on:
10 POINT CHECKLIST
1,2,3,5,6,9,10 have been able to follow pretty consistently.
My obstacles fall in 4,7,8. I am working on compliance, start every day planning on success, but having a difficult time.
What remains true is that preparation is necessary. I have all I need in the house. For now, no eating out. Keeping it simple. I am lucky that I could always eat the same thing every day and enjoy it.
Yesterday I made Mexican Bean soup from the recipes and it was good. I have a bowl of cooked red potatoes in the fridge. planning a big salad bowl later. Cooking for myself is an act of self care that I have to continue. Drive throughs and take out/order in are too easy and have been my downfall in the past.
So glad to be back. Rereading all the materials to keep on track. Started to journal. Grateful for all the inspiration from everyones postings.
