Day two - I felt great at the end of the night last night, it was really lovely not to have that overly full feeling at bed time. I learned a couple of things about myself yesterday 1. I CANNOT have only cabbage and onions for lunch without a planned snack before dinner ;-p and 2. I enjoy the flavor of non-processed foods ALOT!! I was afraid weighing and measuring would throw me off - but actually it creates more of an idea in my head of exactly how much I was over-eating. It helps that my husband is very supportive and we are eliminating as a family the casserole type dishes. He and I figured that if we keep our meals to the 3 course type then the kids can still have their pasta etc. and I can just load up on the vegetables and have my serving size of protein. Sooo I got on the scale this morning and it moved a whole lot - BUT I know that it was mostly water-weight so I'm on the fence about whether to post it..yes, it's encouraging right this second but will it come back to bite me if it crawls back up??
