After 17 weeks of fueling, I am finally in rotation! I must admit that I do get hungry on my low calorie days. I wake up hungry and can’t wait to eat. I was hungry many times during fueling too, but not like this. I had a “burning hunger” this morning so I think this rotation process just might be working. I have only been rotating for a week and every day the scale goes down a little bit. It is so nice to see the scale going in a steady consistent downward trend!
I was reading through the Support Forum and saw an article about “what’s your favorite treat?” I thought about that and realized that I used to use think of food as a reward. I use to go to the grocery store looking for food that tasted yummy as a reward for something I accomplished or to sooth some big disappointment or calm my anger over some idiotic thing that happened at work. And if I was on a diet, I did the same thing. If I lost a pound or two, I would celebrate with food. What a dummy! Now that I have been on Genesis for over 4 months, I realize that I have changed my habits. I have had no
desire to cheat or “reward” myself. I have spent 4 months being good, being asked time and again “have you lost any weight?”, seeing results that no one else besides my husband sees, and I am not going to do anything to sabotage this hard work before I get to the miracle! I may have not been tempted to cheat in the last 4 months, but I sure do enjoy my frozen berries with protein powder at night. It is a yummy way to end the day!
