WOW I have so much to say I don't know where to begin...

I have learned so much this week...I didn’t know what my next blog post should be!!  I will just say this; I accomplished my goal of losing my first 5 pounds as of Friday.  YAY congratulations to me!  I have to give myself one after a friend asked me if I wanted one today...he thinks he's sooo funny!!!  Overall it wasn't bad at all, this is probably because I chose the higher protein version of the diet.  Which helps me feel full longer, and I get to eat something every 3 hours.  I did kind of miss sweets, but I believe it helped beat back that addiction I have to sugar.  My biggest light bulb moment was actually seeing food as tool for my body to survive, verses just for its pleasure.  With it also being such a rocky week at work I was able to see in the past I used food to comfort me.  Everything in the world can be wrong, but anything delicious can be so right!  I have also used food to chase away boredom.  The light just came on this week, and I was able to see my destructive patterns of behavior. Yet I know that food is to be enjoyed otherwise we wouldn’t have taste buds, but everything must be in balance. On Monday I begin phase 2 of the diet and can eat 300 more calories per day, for the next 3 weeks.  I planned my menu for the week and finished my shopping so I’m ready to go!!
I included a pic of dinner, taco salad, it looked so pretty I had to take pic.
