My First Day!

[clj4000]

Hello Everyone,
Today is my first day. I am so excited. I have been waiting for this date to start! It's been great so far. The area in my life I am worried about is the evening meal. I have had a habit of eating much like this diet in the mornings and at lunch, but the evening meal is the one where I will really need to have will power and support. I am looking forward to this forum. It looks like a wonderful support group. It will take me awhile to figure out what all the icons do, but I will eventually. LOL
Thanks so much for sharing,
Connie :)

Hi Connie! Welcome aboard!!! We'll be here if you need support, but I'm confident that after the first week if you schedule your meals apart and use your fruits as snacks, and drink plenty of water, you will feel very satisfied! Glad to hear you're off to a good start and hitting the boards right away!

Connie,
I am so glad you are here and if you start to get any urges the first few days log on to the boards and start reading!! I was also worried because most of my damage I would do after 8 pm and I am doing great on this. It is now almost 10 pm here and I still have not had my second fruit of the day:) Good luck and if you need anything just ask. Welcome!!

Welcome, Connie!

Yeah, this forum is the best. I'm the same way with dinners--that's usually my biggest meal. Your first week might be tough, but you'll definitely adjust after that and get used to it. I love how excited you are about this--I feel the same way. I don't even feel like I'm on a diet lately. I'm just happy to have some structure in my eating habits so I don't have to decide every meal what to eat...or worse--where to eat. Good luck and nice to meet you!

Welcome to the forum and the 1pd program. The first week is kinda rough, getting used to weighing foods, body going into shock from eliminating all the sugared, processed stuff, etc, feeling a bit tired, but THEN the cravings for stuff starts to eliminate and the energy level comes back up. Have fun and enjoy the ride. :)

OMGosh, I haven't been on the site since I started. It's wonderful to see all of your comments to me. I am overwhelmed, made me tear-up. I have been on the diet now for one week and I AM LOVING IT! I know I can do it! I have so scared for years that I couldn't succeed, but I know now I can. Thanks for all of your encouragement, it means alot! I have been totally satisfied and am loving the food choices. One of the posts I read sounded like me, the evening time is where I have done most of damage to my body, but this diet is incredible. If I feel hungry later in the evening, I have a fruit. It had worked beautifully. What I am finding about this diet is that it makes me eat healthy food choices I that I love, in turn, honoring my body, and that feels wonderful. Thanks again for all the supportive, beautiful comments.
Connie :)

Great to see that you’ve made so many fantastic new Friends - these Diet Buddies are simply the B.E.S.T.!!!

Suggestion: Always try saving some fruit and crackers for the evening… this way you can have dinner and apple crumble desert Mmmmm :hungry:

Hello Everyone,
I am still going strong! I weighed the first week, which I found out I wasn't supposed to weigh until the 4th week, so haven't weighed since. But the first week I lost 11 pounds! WOW, I couldn't believe it. I also notice I am no longer bloated or swollen! I can see my ankles again! YEAH! Hope everyone else is doing good! I still haven't figured out this site totally, but am working on it! WE CAN DO THIS!!!:party1:
