Being on a clear liquid diet for 5 days has really helped me evaluate how I eat. I never realized how much I snack. While cooking (housewife, so 3 meals a day), while giving the little ones a snack, while watching tv during their nap time, in the evenings with my husband. I truly never realized what a habit it was, until Friday. I was cooking a meal I wasn't allowed to eat (liquids only!),and without conciously making the decision, I popped a few morsels in my mouth. It wasn't until I was nearly done chewing that I realized what I'd done. Wow. Well, 5 days my 7 day diet the habit is being broken. I feel great, I've lost 6lbs, I'm excited about surgery Thursday, and FINALLY the sugar-free pudding tastes good!!
