This is the challenge I'm setting for myself for the next twelve months. Anyone want to bet on how long this will last? Only kidding. I know no one is reading anyway. It doesn't matter. This is for me. So on with the challenge. I have every bit as much chance at succeeding at this as at anything else I've ever tried. Why not? I've got to start believing there can still be a life worth living out there somewhere.
I'll make up the ground rules later. Obviously, I'll have to have some exceptions built in for eating with other people, eating out occasionally, and for those times when I'm really, really hungry, blood sugar dropping, and need to get some food in me. Staples will be okay - like the cottage cheese I'm going to eat for lunch. But no frozen dinners, and not even canned soup. No bought granola bars. No deli chicken or salmon. No ice cream unless it's plain ice cream used in a dessert I make.
Oh and that reminds me. The reason for this challenge is to see if I lose weight by eliminating fast food (which I don't really eat that much or that often, to tell the truth) and convenience food (which I do eat, most of the time and in greater quantities than I should).
I'm glad I'll be off for three days. I can ruminate on what to fix for supper, even go to the store tonight. But if I want to eat, I have to make something myself.
Sounds fun, doesn't it?
Later.
