So here's the plan.

Stay away from sugar, except for thanksgiving day and christmas day, just for a change of pace.

Have most food eaten by 3:00, or 5 at the latest.

Little picks at food that I prepare after that or when at other places for dinner.

Work out when I can, as often as I can.

And most of all, focus on what I want.

What I want. Not what I don't like.

"Wouldn't it be nice if...."

ie, stay in the positive, and not just about food and body, but about everything.

It's astounding how quickly I get into the pic pics. pick on myself mostly.

It is a kick not eating sugar. I've been doing it for a couple of weeks now. I don't get the intense cravings, tho especially when at grocery stores I think about how nice it would be to chew on a snickers. I made 6 dozen choc chip cookies today and I did stick my finger in the dough, and I did have a bite out of a couple of cookies--to determine if I liked the recipe. So I'm not freaking about this, like muffins have a lot of sugar and I'm eating them. Mostly just wanting to shake things up, get a new relationship with foods.

We were at a pot luck tonight, my favorite football parents all in one room, it was a BLAST. Huge piles of really good food, 3 kinds of amazing salad. Did not. I had one bite of curtis' sausage and a half glass of wine. mmmm! Most of all it is interesting to feel how it feels inside. Empty, but not needful. It's good. I will be hungry for Breakfast!
