I started a few days ago after reading about the diet in Women's World magazine at the checkout line. I didn't know the rules til tonight. So, I simply ate the banana for breakfast - along with my usual cereal or glass of milk. Then went about my day. I did not weigh in, and I do not intend to. The # on the scale has never helped me achieve weight loss. Although progress is measured there, it always seem that the # of lbs loss is not in proportion to my effort. I will be tied to the process, not the result (a philosophy I learned in Sales training - basically, keep repeating a script, not expecting success each time, but you'll get better at it and eventually you will have more success than failure).
So, I estimated my start weight, and I don't plan to chime in with 'finished week 1 and X lbs lost'. To me, that's just not rewarding. And I also know that a week is a blink of an eye. We want to see huge progress each week (or each day!), and when it doesn't happen, we are disappointed. I know that if I even lost 1 lb/week, it would be about 1 year to get to my goal weight. To me, 1 year is not a long time!
Anyway, this really sounds like a plan that I can do. The rules are simple. The change for me will be reducing my milk consumption. Also, drinking water @ room temp and sip-by-sip. I'll have to stop drinking soda, too. But, I don't think that will be too hard.
Anyway, thanks for reading my blog. Good Luck to all!!!!
