Finally I am feeling that energy boost that everyone seems to be chatting about ! The toughest part about induction is the first 2-3 days physically...then by 1 1/2 wks to get out of the mental fog of preset mind traps.

I feel alive...and am looking forward to the day I feel free from the fat prison I am in.

Today is day 5 and I did very well today, so far.
I went to the baby shower and did not have 1 bite to eat
I made the cucumber sandwiches and didn't eat it!

Now that I am home, I need a nap.
Pipe Dream.....Chloe is in full play mode.

Haven't done my exercise yet today. I'll have to do that tonight.

I made the "Revol-Oopsie" Rolls -- Awesome!
They make a great bread substitute.

Hunger is a feeling that slim folks observe and do nothing about. I read that somewhere. I believe I have seen my slim friends sit with hunger and just observe it as a feeling. Feelings shift.

Let's bring out those measuring cups from WW days, if that's what it takes!

I make a fist, sometimes, to remind myself what my tummy can digest well. More than that creates a crowded digestive system, without space to do the work that my stomach is...

Watching an infomercial one day, it dawned on me that a LC life might be viewed according to its ASSETS (habits that profit us even when one is not doing much) and LIABILITIES (that drain or steal assets), just as the concept of assets and liabilities is laid out plain by Richard Kiyosaki in a financial reprogramming book/course: Rich Dad, Poor Dad. Radical notion, first time it hit me!

Yes, when I'm on track, all the world is full of LC insights, glimpses (of what might be) and thrilling epiphanies. Some days are full of great LC visions and awareness of possibilities that form...
