Day 16

 Well 16 days in still have trouble with the snacking and sweets but hopefully that goes away soon. So the last couple of days i haven't felt good. Really haven't eaten  and usually lose a couple pounds due to that, but when i get better I usually over eat to make up well i don't want that to happen and flush those past couple of week out the door. I read somewhere that it takes 4 weeks to create a habit and only 3 days to break a habit. Well if i take the time and effort to create the habit why am I going to throw it out the window. Well today felt a little better so I made so dinner today. It was Vermont Turkey Loaf , I loved it my kids didn't try it  , except my one year old boy who ate it and liked it, and  my husband liked it as well.. It was a hit. Still no exercise but hopefully tomorrow will be better for me.
