Menu for Tomorrow
Breakfast – 10 chips
½ c. slasa
String cheese (I know it is weird, but I really wanted that today and I’m so proud that I didn’t give in because it wasn’t on my plan.)
Lunch – Ham Sandwich with tomato, spinach, and a little ranch
Two Small Scoops of Ice Cream (When Kids are in Quiet Time)
Before Dinner 4 Baby Carrots (this worked really well today to make the hunger a little easier to handle.)
Dinner Tatortot Casserole
Spinach salad (can you tell I’m trying to get rid of garden spinach?)
Green Beans
Dessert Apple (Didn’t even need my apple today even when everyone was eating ice cream. It wasn’t on the plan so I didn’t succumb.
I stayed away from pancakes which I love and my kids ate and a whole bunch of other temptations that I left upstairs. I can’t go get it right now because I’m timing myself and must be done in two minutes. Oh I remember one, I ate by myself for breakfast and lunch and it was wonderful. It was actually a great break from the day. I look forward to doing it again tomorrow.
It was hard to stay on task, but I’m so proud of myself for doing so. Talk about self-esteem lifter.

Good job staying away from the pancakes. We all have 'those things' that call our name... There is no way I could have eaten 10 chips and salsa for breakfast and not been out of control the rest of the day (1 pancake, yes... 10 chips, no...) I think one of the hardest parts is identifying our own triggers. That's why diets that specify what food to eat each day don't work for me. When I go off of them, I have not learned to choose. Anyway, keep up the good work.

Well said. Very wise. I think that is the great part about this book. We are learning how to live normally and not let food control us and yet enjoy food.
