Thank Goodness They Respect My Choice.
The house is sooooo quiet right now. You know why? Because my husband took the kids OUTSIDE OF THE HOUSE….OFF THE PREMISES….for dessert. To an ice cream stand.
He originally was about to tell me that he was going to…..nevermind.
And I said, "Get something I’m not supposed to have."
"Right", he said.
I told them to make sure they finish it all at the ice cream stand.
It makes eating clean so much easier when the rest of your family believes in the benefits of it. They’re not as strict as I am because they don’t have to be, but they appreciate it.
I haven’t cheated at all for these past 4 days, but I noticed a bag of Doritos on a kitchen counter of someone’s house on a TV show I was watching.
I was mesmerized by it for a few seconds, but then I snapped out of it and asked myself what would be the benefit of me eating something like that. Not that I could crawl into the TV and snatch the bag followed by a proper pigging out.
On to days 5 through 30.

I know what you mean about thinking about your cheat foods. I have only had 3 cheat days in 7 weeks and what I am learning is when I do have those foods I think I am craving, they are no where near as fulfilling as you imagine they are before you have them. You end up eating whatever it is and realizing that it wasn’t all that. So stay strong - it is so worth it!
