- This is the one I am most excited about! I can get out of bed in the morning without feeling like I am tearing my toenails out. Awesome.
- My skin has cleared up.
- I am full ALL THE TIME. I know. Makes no sense to be eating a third of the calories I am used to and be stuffed, but it is true. The types of food I am eating are so packed full of nutrients that I can barely get it all down. My goal is to eat 1500-1800 calories a day, but I think I am between 1200-1400 most days.
- Eating out is no fun anymore. Whatever they have that is healthy usually tastes like crap so why would I want to spend money on that when I can have home cooking with none of the preservatives or Franken Food.
- I can still indulge sometimes. Like one meal a week I don't pay attention to the calories so closely.
- I don't feel deprived. I FEEL GREAT!
Sample day food:
Breakfast: Double fiber english muffin with 1T natural peanut butter, 1/2T raw honey and 4 dried apricots
Lunch: Homemade bean and veggie soup and an apple
Snack: Soy Crisps
Dinner: Veggie chicken stirfry with brown rice and Strawberries
All real food, all healthy and delicious! Did I mention that it is filling?
To anyone who is thinking that they are too far gone to change.......YOU CAN DO THIS! If I can, you can!

I would love to have the recipe for you veggie bean soup! I know what you mean about eating less and feeling better about it. I probably 1000 less calories than before I started "the diet" and I'm not snacking because I'm not hungry!!
YEAH US!! Getting healthier and loving it! Thanks for stopping by my blog!
