Today was harder. Midmorning it dawned on me that I couldn't have pancakes. All I wanted was pancakes and that is all I thought about all day long. Phase one is designed to help one eliminate cravings. It hasn't kicked in yet because after I was done craving pancakes I moved on to cookies, cake, and brownies. I wanted something sweet so badly!
Mid afternoon I sank into a funk. Yes, I was still craving all that sweet stuff but what I really wanted was a nap and a good cry. I know that this is normal when you stop self-medicating with food...but it wasn't much fun.
When I got home I did some laundry, watered some plants, then made some guacamole (yumm), and chopped veggies for tomorrow. I made roast beef horseradish wraps for supper (the "wrap" is a lettuce leaf), and I steamed some fresh green beans. The meal was yummy and satisfying, and I still have a peanut butter/ricotta dessert on the menu!
I hope that today was the worst, but I suspect there will be a few more bad days before I feel better. I've followed this to a T so far!

Hiya Mags! Just thought I'd comment since I just found your blog. I kept wondering why I was never seeing it on the DW blogs page...heh, now I know!
Good luck with the SBD. I could never do it, mostly because I'd cry over not having a G&T or a glass of wine. NO ALCOHOL!?!? Forget it! But I'm sure you can do it ;-)
