Attitude:

I'm finding it a little difficult to shift my thinking to eating more carbs. LOL But I'm loving the more variety of foods I can eat now. I've been making a really delicious turkey salad which is 2oz turkey, 1oz cheddar, a TBSP or so of mayo, squirt of mustard and today a little bit of garlic and I put it in my food processor and mix it all up. Total YUM! And very small amount of carbs, just 1. Tomorrow I'll be baking for HHT's office Valentine's party. No, he didn't ask me to, I told him I wanted to because, well, I LOVE to bake goodies and this way I can get my baking fix and then send the goodies away for someone else to eat. :o) I am going to make some sugar-free truffles for us to eat on Valentine's Day. I'll let you know how those come out in a couple of days. I've realized it's easier to do certain things. It's easier for me to walk through the junk food aisle without me wanting everything in sight. It's easier for me to fit into a bathroom stall. It's easier to buckle my seatbelt. It's easier to say no. Some solicitors came to the door and I didn't even feel bad saying no and I said no like 3 times. I no longer had the guilt that I should help them. I didn't need the product so I politely told them the truth. :o) I feel so empowered! And all that in only 2 1/2 weeks!
