Becki Sue Strader Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Today is day 12 for me and I feel amazing. Yesterday at church I had a friend comment on how she could see a big difference already. Really was a nice feeling to have others notice. I have been having those "guilt" dreams every couple of days. Last night I had a dream that I had a box of chocolates from a fancy chocolate shop we used to visit on vacations to Leavenworth, wa. In the dream I was saving this box of chocolates till I finished my whole 30. Then I snuck three of them and eat them without thinking. I was in a panick thinking I would have to start my 30 days over. Then I realized it was impossible because there is no chocolate in the house. I wonder if these are triggered by experiences from the day before. My husband, kids and I went to a restraunt by Lake Tahoe. My daughter had fish and chips, my son had cheese ravioli and my husband had some fancy Ahi tuna thing. I ordered the only salad I could have minus the cheese which left me with a wedge of iceberg lettuce and some cherry tomatoes with vinegar and olive oil for dressing. Yuck. I ended up cooking myself a homemade turkey burger with sautéed mushrooms and heirloom tomatoes on the side when we got home. Anyway, the good news was, I was not tempted to grab a fry from my daughters plate or eat a piece of bread. Looking at it all just made me think of how I would feel after eating a meal like that; tired, bloated, sometimes heartburn and no energy. I can't believe I have been doing that to my body for so long and never making that connection. Watching some ladies order diet cokes and not feeling any longing for one myself was a huge sign of letting go of my addition to artificial sweeteners and caffeine. Now my only struggle is to not step on the scale ( I packed it away so I don't cave). I look forward to my 30th day not so to change what I eat but to see what I accomplished. My husband is excited with my progress and can't wait till I am comfortable with my body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meg Hamilton Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Great job Becki!!! I have those crazy dreams too, two last week--I thought I had ruined EVERYTHING! I can't remember specifics, but I woke up with that horrible feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Becki Sue Strader Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 Thanks, Tom! I might have to next time. I've been too chicken to try the stuff yet. But it did actually look good to me last night. Almost like my body is telling me what's good for me. I guess you could say I have a new set of eyes when it comes to food.
