Day 1-"Snack" -Free

I have decided that I REALLY need to stop/slow down with the unhealthy snacks.  I have/had gotten to the point where I was almost eating indisciminately again.  My big issue has always been the daily grazing that is an issue with alot of us.  I decided yesterday after sitting up here at work all last night and feeling my pants fit a little tighter than they had that I was putting a stop to this crap once and for all. 

Thus far today, I have had ZERO "bad" snacks.  The only thing I had at all between my meals today has been one small cup of sugar free pudding.  I also found ZERO calorie Life Water, oh man..my prayers have  been answered!  I put the Life water down a few weeks back after realizing that I was ingesting about 240 extra calories a day with that stuff (2 bottles), not as bad as Gatorade, but still not good at all. 

And, you know, I feel better today than I have in a while.  I had been telling the wife that I feel "groggy" alot and tired.  I think it's all of the sugar spikes/valleys and carb crashes that I have been putting myself through.  I read somewhere that it takes about 3 weeks to "get off of" sugar/carbs so I'm setting that as my goal.  Hopefully, I'll be able to break from them for good after that. 

Thanks for listening!

Keep it up and thanks for the inspiration!

I have an issue with daily grazing too.  I can't eat a lot when I sit down, but daily grazing is as bad as eating huge meals.  Keep up the great work, if you find anymore tips, let me know.  I need to start bringing just a couple snacks with me to work everyday, so I don't have big amounts of anything.  I had a guy tell me that those little snack size zip lock bags work wonders too. 

Keep up the great work!!!!!

Here I go again--Get the Beck's Diet Solution.  It comes in hardcover or workbook.  I have both, but most people here are getting the workbook.  you only need one of them.  Since getting the book in early Jan, I have learned a lot about following a diet.  The book will work with any nutritious diet--reducing or maintaining.  I had been an active carb addict and junkfood junkie for about the last 40 years.  I've been in remission since 01-29-09, i.e., I haven't had any of my addictive foods since then.  I've stopped all grazing since. them.  I can't say how much I've lost since I don't get weighed until this afternoon (Thurs).  As of last Thurs,02-19-09, I had lost over 19 lbs but the real joy is from no longer being a slave to my food compulsion.

As I continue to say, look at my Latest Posts for more details and/or Contact me through OH for more info or support.  I'm just a few weeks ahead of you on this program.
