Wow! It's been 19 days already and I'm doing awesome now with the diet coke thing. Here's the biggie! There are 2 bags of chocolate chip cookies, 1 freshly baked pan of brownies and 1 left over piece of butterscotch pie and I never touched any of them except for one small brownie because my daughter gave it to me! Tell me that diet coke or aspartame in particular doesn't make you crave sweets and food in general! I won't ever believe it! I have seen a visible difference in how I look, at least to me and my family in the past week or so. Amazing too is how I a barely needing to eat! I am hungry at meals sure... but yesterday I had a chicken strip dinner from DQ and left 2 of the chicken fingers! I'm really not needing as much food as I did before and therefore am losing weight.
So there's that... and as for symptoms, my legs and feet are still burning every night and morning, last night my stomach hurt all over with a sort of sharp cramping pain that seemed to radiate from the right side to the left and I had a hard time getting comfortable and to sleep. This morning it was still there sort of, and my stomach was burning for about an hour or so after I got up. I felt really groggy this morning. I barely had two sips of coffee though and had a 16oz glass of ice water before switching to iced tea with tons of ice for the remainder of the day. It's water though of sorts I guess and it must be working because for the first time since quitting, I've needed the bathroom on the hour it seems! lol
Good things are happening in our lives in other areas which I will discuss some other day. Just let me say my entire family is finding out new and exciting things and it's blessing all of us!
Well, time for bed for this mama! Who knows what tomorrow will hold?!
