Today, in the world of Me-on-a-diet, went reasonably well. There were no grouchy "I hate life" moments or "Ugh... I hate this stuff" or my personal favorite... "when I'm done dieting I'm eating an entire bag of rye bread chips". (Yes, they make bags of just the rye bread chips that come in Chex Mix).
I didn't jump out of bed to exercise, unlike my husband, but I did get up, weigh myself and drink a SlimFast (which is currently replacing my normal peanut butter and jelly sandwich) and went to church. I did eat the left over Chinese food from last night for lunch, but there wasn't much and my husband started his Caveman Diet today and didn't want to waste food. Maybe not so great.
Dinner was half a chicken thigh and then zucchini, carrots, okra, beets, and parsley (the whole plant, roots included). I learned today that I actually like okra and beets, which was surprising. I thought I hated them. So much so that still upon hearing their name I want to pull a face, but I can't now because apparently I like them.
My husband and I also went for a 25 minute bike ride right after it rained today, which was great because it cooled off significantly, but bad in that you had trouble breathing as the air was rather heavy. All in all I give today a thumbs up for the start of the diet. I've certainly had worse.
Memories of the Curve's diet where I had to eat eggs and sauerkraut come to mind...
The true test will be tomorrow around three o'clock at work. When I am very hungry and potentially grouchy. I am not the most gracious dieter, being addicted to carbs and all. I also tend to become defensive over being told I can't eat certain foods. I might not have even wanted a milkshake, but now, because I'm on a diet I do. Plain and simple. Oh and birthday cake ice cream with sprinkles would be nice too. *sigh*. I'm going to go and read now and not think about food any more.

Glad to hear you are off to a great start. Remember that often craving food is simply because you are bored as your taste buds have thoroughly tasted everything within your mouth from lunch by this point. Keep your mouth occupied with gum.
