Day 27 off Sugar, Flour, Caffeine & Alcohol - Developing Patience

I feel good, not thinner. I do eat a lot of cheese & butter and food in general. When I get home from vacation I will pare the size of my meals down a tad. I know these things take time. If the American dieter doesn't know something, it's patience! Weight loss is not linear, it just happens. Right now I am in Colorado and high altitude always causes me to retain water.

I've been out to eat a couple of times in the evening with my husband. We usually have a glass of wine. I had seltzer with lime, feels kind of cocktailish...so it was fine and no headache in the morning. We were back home within an hour. Giving up drinking alcohol certainly frees up more time!

I've been making slice and bake cookies each afternoon when the kids get home from skiing. That is challenging, the slicing and not taking a taste. The smell of baking chocolate chip cookies is a killer but I've been making it through. I hope this is a case of what doesn't kill you (or tempt you in my case) will make you stronger.
