Day 1 (March 5, 2018)

Weight: 220.9

3 Things I'm Grateful for today:
1. I made it through Day 1.
2. I finally got my hair cut yesterday.
3. Gulbahar asked me about teaching an EXIT class starting in the fall.

Yay!  I made it through Day 1!  The food tasted good to me, but I felt hungry much of the day.  I know from experience that it takes a few weeks for the appetite to shrink.  I'm also sick with a cold, so I'm not sure if that's working in my favor or not.  Usually when I have a cold, I don't crave junk food, so it feels good to eat healthy.  I like having all my food planned out the day before.  I really like not having to make decisions all day about what to eat or not eat.  It made me happy to sit down and eat a healthy dinner with the kids.  They ate tilapia and cabbage with me.
My only complaint is that I need to figure out something to put on my salads that tastes good but isn't a fat serving.  1 Tbsp of Ranch dressing was not enough for my salad.

Day 7 (March 11, 2018)

Yay!!  I've made it through one week! I have no regrets.  I feel happy and healthy.  My stomach feels so good.  I'm enjoying my food. We ended up sleeping too late to make it to the church brunch and I burned the oatmeal, so we didn't go.  I completely changed what I ate yesterday too, but it was still all within Bright Lines. I feel so good that I made it through my first weekend.  I feel very positive about making it through spring break too.

Day 8 (March 12, 2018)

Day 8 was a wonderful day.  I actually didn't eat anything while my family ate McDonalds in the car.  I had a few moments when I thought about eating some of it, but for the most part I didn't want it.  It was actually a good time for me to play Homescapes.  LOL I'm really getting the hang of this and I LOVE how simple and delicious it is!! Thank you, Jesus for Bright Line Eating!  This is a gift from You.  I thank you so much for Susan Thompson and what she is doing for so many people.  Please, help me to continue living this way.

Day 23 March 27, 2018

WHO AM I? I am having an identity crisis.  I don't know how to answer people when they ask me if I like chocolate.  I would always respond with a very passionate YES!  Now, I stop and think about it.  My automatic reaction is yes, but do I still love chocolate?  Is that who I am anymore?  Have I really stopped eating it forever and removed it from my list of favorite foods?  Or am I only not eating it for a while? I really don't think about it much anymore.  I definitely don't crave it like I used to.  In fact, it's actually not that hard for me not to eat it.  My kids have even been eating Easter candy around me and it doesn't phase me.  But for some reason, I still feel like I have to act like it does because that's who I've always been. Whatever the outcome, I will keep plugging away at this.  I love it!!
