I'm Hungry!

I’m hungry and that is a good thing!

Its not a starving thing, just a niggly feeling inside that says I'm not snacking all day and my stomach better get used to it!

Chocolate for me is an addiction. (lets not go into why right now) and although many of my friends can do a small bite of dark chocolate and savor the moment I can't. I have to go sugar free - cold turkey - and I'm finally there. Emotionally that is. I'm ready.

The other day my friend invited me to her company Chrismtas party in two weeks (!) and I was looking to see what dress I might like to wear.

I found the perfect one in my closet, a black and grey velvet sleeveless number that hugs my form. It comes with a cute short top that hangs above my waist.

It is a size eight and I used to look good in it.

HELP!

I realized I’ll have to loose a pile of weight and get inches off fast to fit into it.

In my whole long life I’ve never done crashed dieting. My blood sugar won’t take it, and I get grumpy if I fast too long.

But I can do a program of lots of fruit and veggies and salads and water and lemon juice and tuna and salmon and turkey brown rice and multi grain crackers and rice crackers and…..heck…..

That is called eating well!

I’ve been sugar free for two days and my bloating has already gone down..

I feel lighter.

This is great.

The dress is hanging up behind me right now so I can see it all day as a reminder.

I don’t know if this will work in time, but I bet it’ll work in time for New Years!

I’ll post a photo when I can get into it.

As someone who has been off sugar (for health reasons) for about two months now....I can attest to feeling better as well as feeling irritable when I don't get my 'fix'. Another great way to drop some flab is to replace the 'bad white carbs' (crackers, cookies, refined white flours) with good carbs (brown rice, whole oats, beans). I can truly say that once my body adjusted...I was not hungry all day long as before...the veggies and good carbs kept me full a lot longer than the pre-packaged goodies. I can also say that it is Not A Whole Lot Of Fun to skip out on the 'bad' stuff while everyone else 'gets' to indulge! Meanwhile I am trying all kinds of new recipes with veggies and beans...e-mail me separately if you want a few 'keepers'! Lisa
