So far so good! The hardest thing that I'm dealing with is coffee with no creamer. I really think that I'll have to simply do away with coffee all together, as I just can't stand it with skim milk, or sweetener, or heaven forbid---straight up black!
I was told that snacking is a no-no. For the life of me, I don't understand why? Perhaps after surgery, that will be a must, but right now, I can't make it without a couple of snack per day. I'm actually dividing the food that would make up each meal into a couple of light meals. For example: the apple that I would have with breakfast, I'm saving until a couple hours later to have as a snack. In doing this, I'm having very few hunger pains. I think that 'head hunger' will eventually be more of a problem. Right now, I'm dealing with it. Perhaps it is the 'honeymoon' phase of the beginning, or perhaps it has something to do with the Farmers Almanac actually being correct! Whatever it is, I'm sure that the real credit belongs to my Lord, who has given me the strength to face each day when it would be so much easier to pull the cover over my head as stay there.
It is going to be difficult to have a variety of food in my diet, as my income is so low, and I just can't afford it. I'll end up having tuna fish, instead of talapia or flounder. Fresh fruit, this week is a bag of granny smith apples. Everything else was just too expensive. If it were only more affordable.......but then, if it were, we probably wouldn't have so many obese folks out there needing this help! We live in the land of opportunity, to the point that we have shot ourselves in the foot.
