Is is possible that the bakery department isn't calling my name any more?? Today, I walked though the to-die-for bakery at Vons on the way to the cat food aisle....and those yummy frosted chocolate eclairs and chewy bagels didn't even look good!! It made me realize how much of my bad eating habits were just that...a habit....once the habit is broken, it seems hard to remember how it was "before"....

I got some of the best strawberries at the Cal Poly Farm Store...it's close to the end of the season for the locally grown berries and I will miss them...I got some marked down stew meat and am cooking it now....I got one russet potato to put in the pot along with carrots later....that will be the first potato I've had since starting my new way of eating. I am in this for the long haul...and it's just not reasonable to NEVER eat a potato or corn on the cob, especially in the summer....so maybe once a month, those will be something to enjoy as an occasional treat....

I can definitely tell a difference in the way  my clothes fit and my face looks a little thinner...not so that anyone else would notice...I don't expect anyone else to notice til I've lost 40-50 lbs...My legs are still weak, though, and I am getting impatient to see some improvement in my physical stamina...definitely on the agenda to talk to Dr. Starr about on 7-12...
