Well, here is lovely Phoenix it is 12;37pm. I'm home having a shake

for lunch instead of my normal high protein meal. Honestly

this " Fake Fast " hasn't not been an issue at all at this point.

I've walked by the candy dishes all day, noticing them but

understanding that I am using this time to practice self control.

Protein shakes provide my body with the fuel I need to live this

amazing life, candy does not. I will have at least one meal during

this 3 days as some great friends have put together a dinner meeting

tomorrow evening. I will have a high protein meal and then finish

off Wednesday with the protein fast.

This practicing self control has made me notice how much I have been

eating out of habit. I walked in the door for lunch and spotted a

can of cashews and for a split second thought I'd just grab a

handful before I make my shake. I caught myself the moment the

thought popped into my head. So far this has been a great excercise.

Me to Kath!! That is what I love about it. It reminds me of how often I

grab for something when it is water that I want.......or that I just " see "

it so it has to go in. It always reminds me that I do " have it in

me " .....for some reason when I am in the grip of the carb monster I can't

see that. I hope this is as thought provoking for everyone else. and

PLEASE.....if you are finding this torturous (mentally)......don't do it.

It may not be your time.....or your " thing. " ............. P.

& Kath,

Are you two my twins?? I quietly decided to try this 3 day " body

cleansing " and I have not been hungry all day!! Please NO FLAMING, I

know how important nutrients are, I took all my vitamins as listed on

the files section, I drank lots and lots of water, I had one shake

for lunch, another for supper, to that one I added one apple to add

bulk.

I had NO snacks at work, even though I have chocolate candies for my

staff (I'm a school secretary). It's amazing, but if I listen to my

body, will I ever feel hungry?? So far, not one iota of a hunger pang

has crossed my belly.

Dumped on a sprite & chips yesterday, maybe that's what made me more

determined to try to start ridding myself of the carbs, even if it's

temporary, but hey, one day at a time, right???

Twins...I wish. I am grateful for the amazing tool I've been

given. This day has been no problem what so ever SOOOO I'm having

dinner with my family this evening. I'm not starving, I could drink

a shake and be fine but I enjoy the family time that sharing a meal

together provides. If I had strugled with this " fast " today I would

have stuck with protrein instead of dinner. Since it has been easy

I figure my control is fully intact, just haven't been using it much

lately. Tomorrow I'll do the same, protein all day, dinner with

friends in the evening.

Good luck to all.
