Day 1

So, Day 1 has come and gone and guess what? I made it!! Despite wanting to cheat, I was sure to be careful not to and stick to my plan. What kept me going was simply, I CAN DO THIS!! I WILL NOT FAIL!!! I think about all the times where I have tried valiantly to lose weight. I literally have tried everything. You name it, I've tried it. Some were more successful than others but the bottom line is that at a certain point, I simply couldn't do it anymore. Nine times out of ten the diets were too restrictive and were unsustainable or required too much planning and preparation - which I simply did not have time for. I would try for a few weeks and then boom, it would be down hill from there and I would gain it all back. Well, not this time. I am determined to see this through. I have approximately a month and a half before Rosh Hashana. I can make this happen. Yom Tov will be hard but we will figure it out when it gets closer. Even having followed my plan for one whole day, I feel SO much better. I feel not weighed down or over stuffed. I feel good. This is the cleansing process. Two more days and then we start with fat-burn. So here's to my new way of life - Nothing tastes as good as healthy feels!!
