5 Days and counting

Exciting, :bananadoggywow: October the 28th will be my one year anniversary. Hope you have cleaned your cabnets and frig of all the junk food. Better to take all temptation out of the way. Do you have your protein drink picked out, some soups, a nice blender to mush everything up. I have a Ninja I bought at walmart and love it, crushes ice and I could make anything into a soup I could get down. You realize the first few weeks are going to be the hardest, I sort of relate it to having a baby. You are pregnant for 9 months and you are so excited and can't wait, than the baby comes out and you have all of these new rules and feelings you are not sure what to do with or about. I lived on the blogs my first few months, just checking that what I was feeling was normal and I wasn't going nuts. I experienced some remorse for the loss of food, it was like experiencing the death of some old friends. I honestly wondered if I would ever be able to eat a full meal ever again. I struggled to get 400-500 calories in a day and also struggled to get my protein in. But I did it and so will you, once you learn to live the rules, the band begins to work for you and the pounds start to melt. I know you read the blogs and read the negative along with the positive take with you what is helpful and leave the rest behind. I find that I can learn from peoples successes as well as their failures. I know you will do well and let us know what we can do to help. Good Luck!
