Day 1

Well...I made it through day 1. It seems that no matter what the reason for changing my eating habits, day one is very difficult. It is very easy for me to "start tomorrow" on day one. For many, day one is exciting. It is the beginning of the journey. For me, though, day one is a bit scary and an easy exit point. 

One of my goals is to cut out all beverages but water. I was able to successfully undertake this task last summer and fully anticipate to do it again....

I must make a confession...I am an addict...I am addicted to aspartame and Diet Coke. I have withdrawal symptoms when I don't drink a Diet Coke for more than a day...I must overcome this for long term...

Anyway...now back at the camp...I drank 228 oz of water today. Drinking large volumes of water helps me control hunger to push through the first few weeks. It is amazing how dependent on CRAP our bodies become and how difficult it is to overcome the dependency. Processed "food" is a major issue.

I am heading to bed soon and am looking forward to tomorrow...

The first step has been taken as I walk the road to health.
