4 days into it...rest of my life to go YIKES!

It's real... Thursday starts my 4th day on the liquid diet.  I was supposed to start on Tuesday, but for some reason I started a day early...i just want to lose weight NOW.  The first couple days were kinda icky and I got a few headaches (probably sugar withdrawals), but all-in-all it's not bad!!!  I never imagined that chicken broth could taste so good.  Of course after all the SlimFast I've been drinking, anything with salt tastes awesome.  OMG...I wish I would've tried the SF popsicles before!!!  They are sooooo good.  Better than the "bad" ones! Only 8 more days left.  I think this weekend is going to be a little harder, but I know I won't screw it up.  I've come too far to make stupid mistakes like that.  However, I almost started crying when i left Cub Foods last night.  All that food.  It's so frustrating.  So, after that episode I decided that it's time to see a bariatric psychotherapist to deal with all these feelings I'm going to have in the months coming up.  I meet with her on the 31st.  I want to be as smart about all this as I possibly can.  I'm going to sit down this weekend and try to get a recipe list going on pureed foods, mashed foods, and then really healthy regular foods.  I don't want to get too bored or restricted with my options because this leads me to eating all the "no-no" foods.  Hope everyone is having a wonderful day!!!   Remember, it's almost spring!!!!....kinda.....well, not really...I guess it is somewhere, just not in MN.  Stupid snow!

Good for you for admitting that you could use a little help!!

Fantastic luck to you on the 14th!!

You're going to do great!  I have found myself addicted to Michelle's (eggface) blog on the Main board, she has great recipes.  I have been gathering recipes and can't wait to make heathly meals for the entire family.  I'm not creative in the kitchen but can follow a recipe and look forward to the challenges.  I've been finding heathly cooking shows on cable and taking in some of their tips. Have a great day!!

We all need a little help and encouragement. Thats why this community is sooo great!! Many have been there and done that and can help us on our journeys!!!

You are on your way! How exciting. We are all here rooting for you!
