Just Do It! Day 7

Day #7
Pounds Lost: 5.2
Goal: -50 lbs.

I am extremely proud to have made it through seven days sticking to my weight loss Program! The cookie diet itself is easy: eat four Capitol cookies and a healthy dinner and drink lots of water. The hard part is in my head.


Fortunately, I have not been hungry at all except for one day, and I think that is because I was taking a zinc pill with sugar in it to ward off a cold. Even a little sugar stimulates the appetite!

My goal this week is to visualize how good it will feel to fit into some of my old clothes and have them get looser instead of tighter. Yeah, I know that is a bit shallow, but it is the truth! I can already fit into one pair of pants that used to be too tight and my other clothes are fitting better. And that's just five pounds. I can't wait for 10 or 20 pounds!

I had some tempting moments when my family was celebrating with margaritas and my favorite melted brie cheese. I told myself, I don't eat that. A definitive statement, and then I made it the truth. There will always be temptations and there are ways to bring food you like back into your life in moderation but I know for me, I need to wait. If I can prove to myself that I can stick to the program for 21 days without cheating, not only will I make healthy eating a habit but I won't derail myself early on before I have enough success to keep me going.

I believe in myself. I can and will just do it!
