Day 6

Well Todd's on board with me now, so we have 3 of us doing it. It's nice because we can all feel hungry and non-satisfied together. I have lost 8 lbs as of this morning. My pants felt a little bigger by yesterday afternoon. I still am really struggling with being hungry and that is not supposed to be part of it. But some of it is, I think, just cravings. I miss my chocolate and my sweets it sure is hard to cut those out.

It's not even potatoes and such that I still crave. It's stuff like bacon and tuna, or popcorn. Those are the things that get me. I do really good and can forget about food for the most part until I have to fix something for the little ones. Then a pb&j looks pretty darn tempting.

But when I wake up and weigh myself it feels pretty darn good to know that I am loosing and it is worth it! Todd and I were talking last night. When you introduce things back in at the end of 21 day, you start with fats. You still have to keep sugar, starches, and carbs out. And when we do the fats we still want to keep it lean fats. I want to make this a life style change not just some fad. I want to try knew things. We ate fish last night and it turned out pretty good. I don't like fish and this wasn't fishy at all. So maybe once and a while I can cook that for the fam for some variety, even when were done with the "diet" part.

So wish me luck today, while I think of food non stop. The good part is that focusing on food all the time has helped with taking my mind off of Todd's job and not being able to buy a house.
