I was a tad nervouse to step on the scale this morning because I had a sliver of a piece of cake for my daughters 2nd birthday last Sunday (this was after my first weigh in of course). I didnt feel bad about it I just knew I needed to stay on track the rest of the week. In fact that sliver of cake may have been just what I needed to keep me determined for the rest of the week. The original plan was to not start the diet until after her birthday but I thought you know what life includes birthdays and cake is part of what helped me get to where I am, so I need to face it head on and deal with as I will need to in the future. Im proud of my self for just having a sliver like that I actually put thought into how much or little I was going to have-I made a very conscientious decision. It almost feels as though my brain is being retrained in this process as well! And I should note my will power is not totally absent I did forgo everything but the veggies at a gradutation party the day before and that included passing up on the cake!!
Well on to the good news after another week and a sliver of cake Im down 8 more pounds! Thats 20lbs so far and boy can I feel it! Im very proud and am looking foward to tackling the transistion to cycle 2 this week-Im going to try and enjoy it more then I did last time! (last year I just constantly felt as though I was cheating with addition of the extra carbs) If I remember correctly last time for week 3 I lost 5lbs-My goal for this week will be to try beat what I did last year for week 3. Lets see if I can do it!!!

Great job at resisting all those temptations! Also, what got me through Cycle 1 and 2 was not beating myself up over small cheats that I did, just keep on going, it's no big deal, don't let any cheats bring you down and derail you from future progress. Also, a good trick I use for keeping myself from eating sweets is I ask myself how it would make me feel. (Too much sugar activates my muscle spasm! So I would actually feel lots of pain! Not good!) So instead I reach for the celery sticks and almond butter!
WOW 20 pounds in just the first Cycle!!!!!! You are AMAZING!! I finished day one yesterday of Cycle one and I can tell getting rid of the sugar and some toxins from my body is leaving me a bit lathargic but I know this shall pass. I keep reminding myself had I not lived the high life after losing my weight a year ago I wouldn't be doing this again. Congratulations on your great weight loss, I can't wait to read your posts for more inspiration! Have a wonderful Day.
Durangogal: you are right that lethargic feeling goes away (as you know) and boy will your body feel better getting rid of those toxins! By now youre most likely feeling great since Im thinking your approaching the end of your first week here in a couple days! Cant wait to find out how you did. Id like to think Im amazing but I think when you have a lot to lose it comes of easier in the beginning. But I'll take amazing too-thank you! (cause I sure do feel more amazing!)
GreenFish-that is the key, not beating your self up. The way I look at it is this way of eating is not just some temporary thing its a lifestyle change and you cant let a cheat bring you down, infact a cheat often makes me more motivated the following days, thinking I need to do an extra walk etc. to take care of that cheat which all in all is a good more normal way to look at having a piece of cake. I have been reaching a lot for the veggies like you said! A nice crunchy snack!!! Sounds like your doing great, keep up the good work! Thanks for the post!
