Breakfast
For about 3 weeks during P2, I skipped breakfast; only drinking tea and water until around 11:30 or so when I'd have a half grapefruit. I loved sitting down to eat breakfast with my boys this AM!
Phase 3 is when we are no longer on very low calorie diet but restricted from sugars and starches. So, today, my first day on P3, I enjoyed no nitrate thick sliced bacon and two yard eggs fried in that bacon grease. The yolks were almost orange they were so healthy.
This is how I ate my bacon and eggs after seeing the TV show on TLC called "I can make you thin". After TiVoing this program, I watched it this weekend. It's about learning to eat like a thin person. http://tlc.discovery.com/tv-schedules/series.html?paid=2.14464.55929.35324.2 Also, check your listings for reruns as there are 5 in the series. The host has four golden rules, and the one I really applied at breakfast was to "eat consciously."
I took time to look at my food. In between bites, my fork was placed on my plate as I chewed each mouthful slowly. For the bacon, I'd take a bite and set it down, not just accordion it into my mouth as more room became available-LOL. As my youngest spoke to me, without eating more, I just listened and when he had finished talking, I took another bite. This is how skinny people eat; slowly without rush, enjoying their company and not attacking their plate like a project with an overdue deadline!
Losing this 50 pounds is only part of my goal. The other part is to learn to change habits that could cause the scales to creep back up. Another great thing this AM- I broke into the 150s! I should not lose any more during my week of P3 though.

Joy,
I watched "I Can Make You Thin", as well, and have been trying to use those 4 simple steps when eating. It really helps, doesn't it? It's so easy to do "drive by eating" where we're either watching TV, talking with other people, reading, or just preoccupied with something else - taking the time to chew our food and really think and evaluate whether we're satisfied (not FULL, but SATISFIED) sure does make a difference!
