Opti day
So my first day really sucked. Four packages down only 80 to go. I hope tomorrow is better. Luckily I had a very supportive group of coworkers.

I think there are some creative ideas on the recipe board that may improve your experience.
Hope tomorrow is a better day
Doing a little better today. I am blending it now with ice and it more tolerable. I remember waiting for this day to come and I am trying to stay positive. I am keeping busy with crafting and going for walks. There is a lot more time in a day when there are no trips to the fridge and no meals to prepare or groceries to buy!
When I feel too overwhelmed I look to before and after pictures and think, I'll soon be thinner!

I'm on day 6 right now and it is getting easier. Having the flavoured syrups, crystal light and extracts really helps give me some variety. At my clinic we are also allowed broth, jello and some green veggies so that has been a life saver. I've been making soup and stir frying the veggies so I still feel like I am actually eating real food meals. Just know that you aren't going through this alone!
