Day 3- Protein Protein Protein.. and some veggies

I have never eaten so much protein in my LIFE. I mean I like chicken, turkey, beef, etc.... but wow. I never thought it would be so hard to eat it. Some of it's really good, don't get me wrong, but I really would prefer it fried right now. I am glad that I realize that I have the cravings and for the first time NOT acting on it? What makes this time different?

While I was talking to my friend of 23 years... yes count it... 23 years now, She said something that makes total sense: no one here really saw me when I was thin. To say I struggled with weight my whole life wouldn't be 100% true. There was a time where I was "too thin" but it didn't last long. I thought moving from Connecticut was the worst thing that could happen to me. I was about to go to High School!! I turned to food. I didn't have many friends anymore. Everything that knew was gone. Another friend noticed that when something good happened to one of my friends I would eat more. You know... typing that excuse doesn't make it any better. I'm officially done making excuses.

3 days. no cheats. Not one chip. Not one fry. NOTHING!!!!!! I'm taking my life back. This is for my heath. I have a 90% chance of breast cancer in my life. That's scary enough, but every pound on me gets me that much closer to actually getting it. I'M NOT DOING IT.

Thank you everyone for continuing to read this. I love this outpour of support. It means a lot to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
