Well, we got through our first week on the 8 Hour Diet and it went very well.  We ate out several times without cheating and so far we still are not eating any processed foods, no Fast Foods, etc.  
Last week I mentioned that my sister, Ginny, was on the Diet Revolution Diet, but that was a mistake......she is on The Fast Metabolism Diet.
My loss for the week was 5 lbs., which I am very happy with.  It's going to be more difficult this week because Leon, my husband, is out of town and he is my support.  Hopefully we can support each other through phone calls.
I'm trying to keep myself busy so I don't think of food.  
Taking one day at a time. :)

I lost a total of 5 lbs. since Monday and I'm feeling better every day.  Ginny (on the Diet Revolution diet) has lost 6-1/2 lbs. since Monday, so we are both on a roll.

I am not missing processed food at all!  

Wow, I can't believe it's taken me this long to get back to this blog.  That's my life has been going with my diet.  Since then I rejoined Weight Watchers, and as usual, I am very successful for the first five or six weeks and then something throws me off.

I was about to start a new diet - "The Diet Revolution" with my sister, which would reset my metabolism, but after reading the whole book and seeing the expense I would incur, I've decided not to take that route.  In the meantime my sister is trying it and I will let you know how she does.  

Instead, I ran into a woman (my age - 66) who looked FAB and I asked her how she stays so thin.  She told me that her kids went on this 8 Hour Diet and  they lost weight and she just follows that.  She said she loves pasta and bread and loves it.  I went right out and bought the book and my husband and I decided to give it a try.  You eat within 8 hours and fast for the other 16.  I never thought I would be able to do this since I'm a late-night snacker, but I absolutely love it!!!!!  It's the easiest thing I've ever done.  

I don't eat any processed food anymore, no diet sodas, no sugar, no white bread or flour.  I drink at least three cups of hot tea every day and that is also my late-night snack.

I'm never hungry - I no longer get headaches - I have more energy.....and this is only my first week.  To top it all off, I lost 4.2 lbs. since Monday (it's Thursday).  I eat two meals during the day and snack in between,but as I said - it's all healthy.  No artificial anything goes into my body.

I never thought I could live this way, but it is so easy. I highly recommend the book for those that want to lose.

I'll keep you posted on my progess.
