Well, I have survived 3 days of dieting. Truth be told, this is probably the easiest 4 pounds I have lost in my entire life. I don't feel tired or cranky, and the only side effect I have had is a mild headache. The headaches have gone away when I eat a dill pickle.
I want to say, if anyone is struggling with weight loss, this is the way to go. No thinking to it, and very, very friendly for those of us on the go.
All that said, I had a couple temptations, and I am so proud I avoided them. On New Year's Eve, we got a last minute invite to our friends' house. She is an amazing cook. I have always loved all her goodies! She had so many yummy things, and I was able to decline them and stick to water. I was happy I had the strength to resist, and the scale made my second temptation easier to avoid.
I went to church today. First time at a new church, and I had the typical welcome to our church card to fill out. After the service, we were asked to return the completed guest card to the Welcome table for a gift. The gift was a big, fat Hershey bar! OMG!!!! Talk about an apple for this Eve! I smiled, thanked her for the candy bar, and politely declined it. I didn't take the FREE CHOCOLATE!!! My wise and witty husband told me after I relayed the story to him that there is no such thing as free chocolate. How right he is! Chocolate is my biggest weakness! I am so glad I like black coffee. I don't know that coffee and chocolate could be overcome at the same time!
I hope the coming week goes as smoothly as my first 3 days. I am so blessed by the awesome support of my husband (who starts his diet this week). Have a great first week of the new year!!!
