Today is day 2 of Optifast I almost lost it with head hunger. We went to the pumpkin patch I didn't want to go because I'm trying to stay focused. Well everyone got take out food and I kept thinking I could lie to everyone and tell them I could have some meat to increase my protein. I sat there trying to convince myself that I could cheat just once. My husband said are you having a moment I said yeah I want food. I decided to say bring me to the groceries store I wiped down my Optifast before getting there and I just purchased sf jello lettus green pepper cucumbers . I was a good girl I'm proud of myself even when I tried to convince myself. I came to realize that's how I got to this state and that I am not fighting for nothing to fail. I am worth more then food
