My Control Plan - It Worked!!

So I worked my control plan for 2 days and I lost almost a pound in 2 days (.8 pound loss)!!  I was at a standstill. For the 2 days I experienced an urge to snack and I was on my way the cupboards when I passed my control plan on my refrigerator. I followed my control plan which said I should first drink a low carb, high protein shake. Once I drank it, my out of control craving disappeared and I felt full. Later I grabbed a couple of sticks of celery but before the shake I was craving a salty crunchy snack or chocolate. I also used the control plan to get in exercise for the 2 days. The first day I was busy all day until bed time however it takes me at least 15 minutes to settle down in bed before I even get sleepy. I used those 15 minutes to do leg lifts with my ankle weights will in bed watching the news. Yesterday I kept my MP3 player on while doing housework and I was sweating in no time as I was dancing and washing dishes at the same time. I will keep you updated.

 Hurray!!! I'm so glad you've found a plan that is working...Figuring out what works best for you is the hardest part of the maintenance battle, congratulations, keep up the great job...  Alesia

I love your control plan! Keep up the great work!

You definately deserve a pat on the back. Anytime you combat an urge or craving is a great thing. You should go out and buy yourself something or treat yourself to a pedicure for such a great job! Candy

Congratulations on your success!

what is your Control Plan? ~Liese

Its at the bottom of my profile.  I am still using it.  This week food is not an issue (I think I am getting used to grabbing an Atkins shake when I get cravings).  I am using it this week to get my daily exercise in.
