18th Week - Monday.
I'm calling this 'nutrition' week. I'm learning that every day holds that choice. I'm happy to say that I can go shopping now and not buy cheezies or other fattening 'snacks'. I have raw almonds in the car. I take fruit. The call or urge to buy those foods that make me feel awful seems to be gone. So, that is great. Everyday - getting the best food, for me, into my body. So, today:
Brkfst: banana, yogurt, pecans, Lunch: homemade soup (veggie), 2 thin slice cheese,...

17th Week - Monday.
Well, I was walking today and realized that I feel smaller. It is easier to lean over, easier to walk. So, that is good. No cravings today. Had the usual yogurt (plain), some hemp hearts, banana, 5 almonds for breakfast; pear and p. butter, snack; veggie soup for lunch; cocoa, splenda, skim milk for snack; basa fish, kale, 1/4 cup wild/brown rice for supper. I'll have my salad later. So, because I'm not bingeing or eating many carbs/sugars; I'm staying at about 1200 calories...

16th Week - Monday
Wow, I'm now 4 months on the SB plan. Good for me. I'm still afraid to weigh, BUT, this morning I went for the yearly mammogram (breathe, ouch, yikes!), and I put on some pants I've not been able to get into last year. So, something is definitely happening. Plus, my face is looking thinner. I'll get Ed to take some photos so I can see the difference happening. After the mammogram, I went grocery shopping and bought: a huge bag of spinach for my evening salad graze, soy...

15th Week - Mon, Tues

Not a great start in some ways and really good in others. Need ongoing new strategy. Our daughter gave us a gift cert. to a store selling organic produce and such; so we bought a large amount. I'm making organic beets borscht right now in the big crock pot.

I have to speak to Ed; although I do take responsibility; he has been leaving sugar stuff (brought by his daughter) out in sight on his desk. We use the same small space for an office so I...

14th Week - Mon, Tues, Wed.
Big wake up call last night. I was sliding into old, binge eating (some not on the plan, of course) and fighting with myself in my head. Then, last night, I watched a documentary on the morbidly obese. The moment I saw the surgical removal of life threatening fat - literally 79 pounds of it cut off and thrown onto the waiting steel table by 3 surgical nurses and doctors; I lost my appetite for anything. ANYTHING!!!
Which is a good thing. I am so appreciative...
