Well my first day on this crazy "diet" is coming to an end. I'm trying not to think of it as a diet but as a challenge. I know at this point I'm definitely thinking about it too much, in the sense that I am letting it overtake many of my thoughts. However, I'm confident that as this path down food addiction recovery progresses and my body becomes more comfortable, partaking in the challenge will become habitual and less forced.
Today I ate -
Breakfast: "The usual" =cup of hot tea and Kashi granola bar
Lunch: I went out to lunch with a senior executive. Dinning out is hard! I was so nervous to be having lunch with her that I almost completely forgot about my challenge. I ordered a turkey and cranberry sandwich and a side salad. "Luckily" I remembered when the food came out and ended up making a sort of chef-salad out of the side salad with the turkey and cranberries from the sandwich. Hopefully she didn't think I was a freak. It was definitely a near miss with the bread.
Dinner: I went grocery shopping right after work, which I typically don't like to do, as I'm usually starving at that time. I was a woman on a mission though and purchased several different fruits as well as both plain and Greek yogurt. I also bought granola to add to the yogurt to serve as a method to curb cravings. I ended up picking up some sushi for dinner because I knew I was in no mood to cook! The sushi was guilt free and filling, which is just what I needed to stay motivated.
I didn't even eat any ketchup! I should have thought about the rules more and combined ketchup and french fries on Friday. Oh well!
Tomorrow will be one of the first days in over a year that I will not weigh myself. I've decided to give this challenge a whirl and see what it does for me in a week. No sense in prematurely evaluating its effect.
