This is not so bad....

I am on day number five.  I know, five days and I am still going strong. What alien creature has taken over my mind? Today I did pretty good and I didn't cheat once.  I was even tempted by a coworker with my weakness, PIZZA! I didn't give in. I just told him, "No thanks, I don't want that headache thing for 3 days again."  
I'm pretty proud of myself.  I have been able to resist my temptations and stick to this diet!


Here is what I had today:


Breakfast: 
 Strawberry Special K protein drink
Lunch:
 Strawberry Special K protein drink
Mid-afternoon: 
 Vanilla Special K protein drink


and now for the good stuff
Dinner: 
 5oz piece of Talapia with lemon pepper seasoning
 1 cup chopped spinach steamed with white vinegar
 1 cup chopped baby carrots steamed in the same bag as the fish
 5 oz salad from McDonald's with fat free Balsamic Vinigrette


My favorite thing about the meal this day?
I got to purchase something at McDonald's and it was NOT going to cause me to cheat! I think the best thing about this diet is that there is a very small selection of items you can eat which makes it much easier for me to decide.  I know what I can and can't have.  I hate the diets that say well, you can have a cookie but only a 1/4 of it! Oh, like a fat girl is going to resist eating the other 3/4 after that first bite! I've been there. I've done that.  I was on insulin during pregnancy because of it!  Don't tell me I can eat a cookie, cupcake or anything else for that matter if I should NOT be.  And really, if I can't eat a serving size that is listed on the package or a portion that any "normal" person would eat, just don't put it on the diet!!!!
