Day One

Thom has begun! He did well today. He enjoyed most of things he ate. His least favorite was the chocolate chip cookie. But the rest of the items he chose for today he enjoyed eating. This is HUGE! We were nervous that the food would be awful. He could not continue the plan if he did not enjoy the food. I saw a negative review of TSFL online that said the food was mostly sweet, so how was that going to teach anyone to eat healthy? But you know what? I think it is GENIUS!  We all like sweetness; it is easily appealing. So when people who have a love for unhealthy food decide to make a change, their taste buds don't all of a sudden love the taste of spinach and tomatoes. Having the meals be pleasant makes the program so much more doable day in and day out.  He didn't feel too hungry between meals today. There was some hunger but he said it was not extreme. So today was a beautiful beginning overall.

I am very interested in learning so much more about this program. I have begun reading the Dr A's Healthy Habits book that came with Thom's food. I've already learned so much in just a few pages. I have not ever struggled much with my weight.  People deal with stresses and life in different ways. When I am busy or anxious or stressed, I do not eat. So despite my appearance of "looking" healthy I am not. I know I do not fuel my body with the right things each day which is evident when one of my 2016 New Years Resolutions was to eat one piece of fruit and one vegetable each day. (This was before we decided upon the TSFL journey by the way). I am so excited to learn how to properly fuel my body to get to the optimal health that I desire!
