I go through serious withdraws when I change my eating habits in a drastic way...I end up feeling like crap for a full week and I'm really not fun to be around. I would like to avoid that if possible. Jeff recently lost a bunch of weight by working out and changing his diet slowly over time. He was very successful, so we have decided that this is the way to go. I'm hoping that this will be less stressful and more manageable emotionally.
I gave up sugary drinks three weeks ago. That was pretty easy...that's why I chose that to be the first to go. I feel that I am ready for the next step...so tomorrow I will give up all fried foods. I also start working out tomorrow. I'm considering tomorrow to be the beginning of my life change...week one of my journey...even though I have been in preparation mode for a while.
I know the order in which I will cut foods out, but I haven't set a time frame. I'm having a hard time with that part. I'm scared to make that commitment. It makes it seem REAL. It's much easier to take this one small step at a time. Is that healthy? I'm not sure. I will be exploring this in depth...
In the meantime, here's the order in which I am cutting the foods out of my diet:
-all sugary drinks: check
-fried foods: start tomorrow
-fast food
-the transition from white to wheat
-desserts
Weigh in and pics tomorrow. I might throw-up.

Yea, Steph! I think that gradual is the way to go for a lot of people. I think what matters is doing it in a way that will STICK for you. I would be a gradual person, too. =)
