I'm here to tell you I did it! I survived and it wasn't as bad as I was expecting. I did have french fries last night to break my "fast". I'm going to try to keep the fried food to a minimum but I'm happy that I made it for the month. I think knowing that it was only for a month helped. I knew there was a french fry waiting for me at the end of the tunnel.
I think now I'm going to only allow myself one fried item a week. Once a week is cutting back from my normal intake of all time. Yes, it's bad, might as well face it I'm addicted to fries.
Updated to add (thanks to Joeh for pointing this out): My weight stayed about the same which I think is good considering Thanksgiving and not being as active as I should have been. I notice that not eating fried foods helps me not feel so gross after eating. No shock there. I'll try to update again in a month with how things are going. Can I limit myself or will I fall back into old ways?
wow that's amazing... a whole month without fries... I don't think I could do that :P

It was tough but not as bad as I expected
DeleteResults? Feel better, more energy, lose weight?
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I've tried temporary stuff like this with regard to my diet but food is easily my biggest weakness. I hope those victory french fries were satisfying!
ReplyDeleteYep I love food. It's hard to not eat all the things.
DeleteThat's awesome to hear! I'm sure you can keep it up!
ReplyDeleteGod I love fries. I'm staying away from carbs right now though. It gives me a sad.
ReplyDeleteGood for you! I bet that you can keep it up.
ReplyDeleteMy weakness is potato chips. Saturday is chip day. I'm pretty good at restraining myself the rest of the week.
