After successfully completing the first phase of this diet, I've been on a short break for my sister's wedding and getting ready to repeat my strict diet plan. I can't say I am looking super forward to it, I really do enjoy food, but the learning process has to continue. Bad habits don't seem to be broken in only 23 days - especially during celebration times. I sure love to snack between meals, keep my tummy full and happy. I need to continue to work on that, to realize that I will eat again and I will be fine in between meals. Because of this snacking I am more terrified of the scale. From the LOOKS of things I have likely put on a pound or two, but, I really want to avoid the emotional response that the scale always brings out. Nothing like being curled in a corner of the bathroom crying over the oscillating numbers on a scale. Apparently I need to continue to work on the emotional side of things. It's all a journey, I know that, but it's also nice to know when you've arrived. As I go on, I am increasingly concerned that I may be on this journey for the rest of my life. I hope that in the mean time I can do good for others, and stop focusing on me and my weight, and instead move ahead and beyond. I am now brave enough to post pictures of before and after the first phase. I am happy with my loss, and I hope it continues. Buck up - food isn't everything - here's to phase 2.
