The kick/encouragement worked!

Last night my DH mentioned going to Trader Joe's (and another grocery store to pick up anything we couldn't get there) tonight for our weekly grocery shopping.  I took that as a sign - START TODAY!  There's no need to wait.  So I went by one of our eating establishments in the building where I work and got scrambled eggs and bacon - had half of it (probably 1-1/2 eggs & 1 slice of bacon).  I plan on getting a salad with baked chicken slices for lunch.  I'm on my way!!!  I will be throwing out the meatloaf I made a few days ago, which contained 3/4 cup breadcrumbs, but I won't feel bad about it because it really is that important, in so many ways, to get going on getting healthy!

Feeling so positive and I know coming back and "talking" to you guys when I might lose a little resolve is part of the mix.  But for some reason, I think this is the time.

Hi Gail!

When I got serious about FTS, I too had to throw away a LOT of "poisoned" foods.

We have to remember that sugar is poison to us.
We react this poison by putting on weight, contracting type II diabetes, suffering heart attacks & strokes, etc..

I have found that life is SO much better without sugar, I can't imagine eating the way I used to.

I had to clean out everything. I got my first order today from Netrition with all my new healthy food

[SeaGail]

Can't wait to get MY order from netrition (probably next Thursday or Friday) - low carb barbecue sauce; Beanit Butter; Xylitol; almond flour.  They were so good when I ordered before and my barbecue sauce was broken.  They had a replacement to me in 2 days!

I'm so anxious to try the Beanit Butter cookies - not eat a lot of 'em, but sometimes you just want a little something special.  I'm gonna be pouring over the recipes I printed out to try to decide what I want to make for next week's meals.

Ready ready ready!
