So yes, as you have probably read, Saturday was a junk food day. But after I got that out of my system, I got up on Sunday and went for a 45 minute walk. During that time I was thinking about this whole process.
Yes, it really made me angry to not have a bigger loss during the detox, but nothing is worth going backwards over. I don't even know if I could go backwards now, healthy eating is so ingrained in me.
So after going nuts in the grocery store I'm not eating normal again, and I couldn't be happier!
Things I bought that I couldn't eat on the detox: peaches, nestle yogurt, tomatoes, cucumbers, tuna, skim milk, coffee, prawns, vita wheat biscuits, and lean mince meat. Last night we ate the BEST prawn stir-fry and my serving was only 3 points! I can't believe a low-point food such as prawns tastes so yummy. I also bought an aero chocolate bar that I still haven't eaten, I'm saving this 3 1/2 point treat for a desperate moment.
I also found my super low point day much easier to get through because I was able to eat the foods I really love and it wasn't difficult to not overeat. And I'm hoping that now that I've broken my normal routine with the detox that now my body will actually be tricked into losing.
Yesterday I worked on our public holiday because for 8 hours I get paid 20, and also they will give each of us a $50 Myer Gift certificate. I cannot pass up a shopping trip. I'm thinking of rewarding my next loss with a new handbag and using my $50 to go towards it.
Also yesterday mr. ralph and I took a walk down to the park near us and did some skipping. I'm considering buying a thick rubber mat to put in my back yard so I can skip at home anytime of the day and not have the impact of the concrete. Now I just need to find something like that. Do sports stores sell such things?

It is so easy just to give up and sink back to old ways.
It's funny but I'm not really missing anything yet. Well maybe my champagne on a Saturday night. But I've got through one weekend without it so 2 more won't kill me!
*hugs*
Good luck to you. Glad to know you're hanging in there. I love reading your posts!
I love the foods you love. I love reading that you can eat again, and the foods you love are all so delicious and good for you. What a new life this is for us. When I crave things now, they are all things I can eat. I had a giant apricot today and it was the best thing I ever have eaten.
And I fit into a size 8 when I went shopping. Oh, cheeeky in single digits. Who would have ever guessed?
