First Weigh In

Well, after 19 days on the Cookie Diet I lost 8 lbs. (my scale says 10, but it'll all even out). 
Anyway, I'm feeling really good (as I have in the past when I was on this diet). 

The doctor gave me a shot of B vitamins to boost my metabolism....we'll see how that works.  It's supposed to last all month.

We're not going back for almost another month, so I don't have to travel so much.  I tried a pack of the oatmeal raisin cookies, and they are okay, but I need my chocolate fix every couple of hours, so I will from now on only get my Chocolate Cookies.

The doctor also said I could start exercising 15 minutes a day, but anymore than that and I would get dizzy.  No problem there.....I don't have time to even breathe let alone exercise.

I asked why we can't chew sugarless gum and he said the saliva goes back down into your stomach and causes you to get hunger cravings.  I didn't notice that when I cheated and had a couple of sticks of gum last month, but I will try and stay away from it for now.

A diet is the penalty we pay for exceeding the feed limit. 

18 days Eating Cookies

Well, today I've been on the Cookie Diet for 18 days.  My stomach feels bigger because I'm losing my weight in my upper body, around my back, neck, face, arms (blah!).  The weight always comes off those places first, then it slowly comes off the hips, stomach and rear.  But I will be patient! 
During the 18 days, I ate beef three times (we're not supposed to eat beef at all). 
The only thing that tempted me this whole time has been a soft pretzel - it smelled so good.
Overall, I have more energy....I sleep better....my knees don't hurt as much....so it's all good.
I get weighed in tomorrow night, so I will post how I did on Thursday's blog.

Going good

Well, I've been on the Cookie Diet now for 13 days and it is going very well.  Anymore, I have to remind myself to eat my cookies, because I get so busy I sometimes forget :)

I still have a long, long road ahead of me, but as long as it's going smooth right now.....I have to embrace that and go with it too.

It's much easier than being on Weight Watchers or eating those meals from Nutrisystem, etc.

I must say I feel much better too.  The knees are getting better every day.  Alleluia!!!!

Cookie Diet

The Cookie Diet is going great!  Last week I was a little off because of the change in diet, but since then, I've been feeling great.  Here's a picture of my cookies - yum!
Now I look at eating as a way to stay alive instead of living to eat.
I plan to go all the way to my goal this time.  My first weigh-in isn't until June 23rd and I will see the doctor then too.  Already seeing changes in how my clothes fit. 

The Smart For Life Cookie Diet

June 5th - started back on the Cookie Diet.  I needed to do something and I wanted to make sure it worked.  I had been on the Cookie Diet about 2-1/2 or 3 years ago and lost 46 lbs.  Was feeling good, but still didn't have my mind straight and I gained all my weight back.
I know this diet works....and it is so, so easy.  I'm not saying that you never get hungry, but you are eating a cookie every two hours with lots of water.  You have your meal in the evening (I'll elaborate more if anyone is interested).
Anyway, I'm eating Chocolate Chip Cookies every day and I like it.  I don't have to worry about what to eat or when to eat.  I just eat a cookie every two hours.  Already I can feel my stomach going down. 
The other amazing thing about this diet is that you start feeling so good....you have so much more energy.  I take vitamins and calcium that Smart For Life supplies me with.
I'm under a doctor's care also.  I am going all the way to my goal this time.  I have 82 pounds to lose, so I will be eating alot of cookies for awhile.  You are supposed to average a loss of between 12 - 15 pounds per month.  Still won't wear that bathing suit this year, but next year I will be shopping for a new, slim one.
I need everyone's support to get to be the healthy person I am meant to be!
