Going back to Phase 1 with a friend and the new SB book. She picked it up yesterday and I'm going to take a look at it today. We'll plan our first week menus and get started tomorrow. She is my walking buddy and she has lamented not being able to drop any weight (although she looks like she is losing, she says she isn't). I mentioned to her the SB diet, but she has an issue with "diet" plans. I asked if she could do it for three days. Well, sure, she said. In three days, if she follows the plan, she *should* experience a water weight loss, which might motivate her to keep on with the "diet". I know it does me. I've lost just over 22# since Feb. The last month or so I've followed the eating plan about half of the time, but I'm' ready to give it another go. I'm starting to crave sugar again...I know I can get past that.
Not smoking is going well. I'm chewing the nicotine gum all day (about 6-8 pieces) and I've been having one cigarette each evening. Like an alcoholic trying to convince myself I can have "just one drink", I play with the cigarettes and try to smoke "a little". Which I know is ridiculous, but when it comes to the late evening, I have been having one. All I want is to enjoy a cigarette. But I'm not certain if I've been really doing that, or if I'm being defiant and Bratty McSelfish. Addiction really screws with your head. I'm so grateful I never tried cocaine or heroin. I'm a meth-head and I've never tried it.
