Day 2
So, I made it through another day! Hurrah! It really hasn’t
been as terrible as I thought it would be. I was anticipating getting a giant
headache from “bad food” withdrawal, but I guess I normally really don’t eat
that poorly. I am eating so many good carbohydrates,
that the bad ones that I am used to eating, (sour dough, croissant, English
muffins) are not missed as much by my
body. Even my mind isn’t missing them
that much yet. I have to admit, so far
my husband has been a real help. He has never been on a diet a day in his life,
yet he has graciously supported me the last couple of days. Last night we had
salad for dinner again with a non-oil dressing. I guess you could say we had
steamed broccoli for desert. Not one word of complaint by him was uttered. I
don’t feel much different yet health wise, but I am happy that I am actually
giving this a real try. I have to admit, so far more than anything I have
missed my olive oil. My salads have been good and different than what I am used
to, but I would enjoy them much more with my usual dressing. However, I am going to hold on to Dr.
Fuhrman’s teachings and not deviate. Today I need to buy some flax seed to
sprinkle on my salads. Although I will
be spending extra calories on something that I have no
desire to even eat, I am doing it for the potential health benefit. I need to
remember I am eating this way to get healthy, and the smaller dress size is an
added bonus.
