My relationship with FOOD

Despite the fact that I cheated all weekend, I still have a good relationship with food. I went out of town and I was eating whatever was fed to me or put on the table. Friday night it was a couple slices of Papa John's pizza, Saturday I had leftovers, turkey, salad, and mashed potatoes, Sunday I started getting back on track.

I have friends who have terrible diets. One friend tries to lose weight by eating carrots for a whole weekend, taking laxatives, drinking water all day and not eating, and then stuffs herself. After big meals she feels SO guilty about eating and fasts the rest of the day. Another friend is a vegetarian who doesn't eat veggies or fruit. Most of her diet is pasta, milk, potatoes, cheese, and gatorade. As long as I don't eat like either of them, I will be OK.

Today I re-followed the first day of the Flat Belly jumpstart. So far so good. I felt a little hungry between lunch and snack time so I munched on a 100 cal pack of pretzels. That's about it. I had to go back to the grocery store to buy more milk because this diet has me going through more of it than usual.
