April 12th Update: I have not given up, but we are moving from Alaska to Texas in a month and things are crazy. Once we get moved and settled I will be back to posting my food daily! :-) xoxo
Day 9: Tuesday, March 27th, 2012
Update: I've really been having trouble in the evenings when my husband gets home because he isn't on a diet and I make him seperate food. I really need to focus on getting past the evenings without cheating. This isn't easy when you're doing it alone.

Day 4: Thursday, March 22nd, 2012:
Update: I had a horrible headache for 2 days (I'm sure it was caffeine withdrawals). I had to cold turkey the Coke Zeros and sugar free Monsters! My headache is gone though! I honestly have no appetite, which is odd. When I eat processed or junk food, I am so hungry and eat like a horse. This way of eating really controls my appetite.
