Day One of Optifast... taken from my blog....

So last night I had to break up a 30 year old relationship .. with food.. 

As one person put it.. it was more of a divorce... and in the words of a wise woman...

"That food was an a**hole anyway, and you re better off without it" lol

This morning I tried my first optifast.  My daughter told me to try the chocolate.  The kids were super curious about it!  I did add an extra 100ml of cold water... I didn't want it very thick.... I let both kids try a sip and they liked it... said it tasted like chocolate milk lol  

I thought it tasted a bit like Slimfast.  I really am glad I have my blender.. and even picked up a extra one to keep at work.  Im excited to try all the different flavors!



I was sitting with the kids while they were having breakfast and my daughter said they would have soup for dinner and I can have my broth... my son said he didn't want soup.. and my daughter said, "Ewan, we have to be supportive to Mom"  soo cute!  I told them thank you.. but they still have to eat lol

Although I dint think I'm going to love these next few weeks...
I definitely think I can get through it.. and I know why I'm doing it...

My daughter (who's only 10 by the way)
after I made a face taking my last sip...
asked me "Is it worth it?" 
And I asked her "what do you think?" 
She said yes.

And then she went on to remind me that I will be able to ride bikes and go on the trampoline with her when I'm skinny. 

I will never make that face again.

Great post.  It is worth it.  You are going to have so much fun with your kids when you lose the weight!

 your daughter is very wise :) funny how kids are

Sounds like you have wonderful kids. Thanks for sharing that moment with us. You are going to do great. Keep us posted.

Wow! Fantastic post! You made me smile. It's so worth it!!!!

awwwww, they're frickin adorable.


and its totally worth it.

I kind of got a little emotional, Dollface. I wish i had done this when my kids were small, and not tried to convince myself that i could do it on my own. I think of all that time i wasted being fat, when i could have been enjoying my kids so much.

You'll do so awesome at this whole thing.

My daughter is also 10 and she is very excited about all the things we are going to be able to do together. I didn't realize how much she had thought about this -- they are wise for their young age!

This made me tear up. That's beautiful
