As I sit here drinking yet another lemonade I find that it is getting easier to say "no" to food. It's funny how you almost forget that you're not supposed to eat food. As I was doing the dishes earlier I spotted a pack of peanut butter crackers and thought "Oh, that would be a good snack....oh wait a minute I'm not allowed snacks." This is something that you experience often in the first three days but by today I am into a routine with the lemonade and tea. I think I'm actually getting used to this. I thought the last week and half was difficult on weight watchers having to watch carefully what I eat espcially what I choose to snack on (my worst habit) but I think after going through this it will be much easier to say no to a bad snack and yes to a good one.
One thing that makes it easier to continue to follow this day after day is that I know that I can not just start eating food...you have to ease your body back into being able to digest food so even if I wanted to cheat I can't. It was funny last night my husband had a dream that he accidently ate something and when he woke up he was so mad at himself for breaking the fast. I guess it's affecting us both ;) By the way he has lost 5lbs as well, even though he only has like 15 lbs to lose before he hits his ultimate goal weight. Sometimes I am very envious of how a man's body works to get back to where they need to be. Not that they don't have to work at it but once they start working at it, it seems to happen much faster for them. Just saying! Sorry that's my "whining" for the day. But I am very proud of him and the work he has done to be the handsome man that he is for me.
Well, time to get everyone ready for our mid-week service....until tomorrow.
