The hardest thing for me is that there's still lots of off-limits food in the house, and I'm using it daily to prep kids' meals. It's probably good for me that I constantly have to consciously have to make the choice to NOT eat that stuff (especially cheese!), but this would be easier if it wasn't quite so accessible.

Day 6. I keep waiting for the KillAllTheThings phase, but I actually feel more even-tempered. I think sugar makes me mean, lol. Or else it's going to hit me hard soon, so I shouldn't get cocky.
Breakfast: scrambled eggs and some celery with almond butter. Totally cobbled together since I need to get to the store. Added the celery/almond butter when DD wanted more eggs and I gave her some of mine.
Day 10 . Hardest for me is the boredom of cooking everything. The thought of going a whole month without any eating out is daunting. Also not eating my kids leftovers - although that's a habit I needed to break for sure.
B - eggs, bacon, sweet potato L - 2 chicken legs with salad D - grilled lettuce wrap burgers with a salad and maybe Brussels sprouts
The hardest thing so far has been the actual meals. I am terrible at prepping breakfast ahead of time so there have been 2 days this week that I made it out of the house with no breakfast. I need to buy Lara bars for those instances. It is also hard to want to cook dinner after a super long day at work especially when you still have more work that you need to do.

Day 9.
Biggest challenge has been social events. Especially in the presence of delicious fried appetizers. But I have held strong and haven't had any slip ups. So go me!
Day 7 and I'm hitting "fuck this shit" pretty hard right now. We usually go out for breakfast and dinner at least 2 times on the weekend (hang out, drink beer) and not doing it this weekend is hard.
