We're over halfway there, and when I stepped on the scale this morning, I was officially down 10 pounds since we started. Granted, a lot of those first few pounds was water weight lost by eliminating salt, but the rest are real, honest-to-goodness fatty pounds.
I'm getting used to the way foods naturally taste, without a lot of salt and/or sugar. I've stopped seasoning my breakfast omelette at all, and just adding either a piece of bacon or a heaping spoonful of sausage and a whole cup of frozen spinach. I can eat steamed broccoli without anything on it and actually enjoy it. I have decided that salmon, fatty ground beef, steaks and pork all have some inherent saltiness and don't need much seasoning to be tasty.
I do miss being able to eat out whenever and wherever we like. It's difficult now to find a restaurant that serves food we can eat. We tend to fall back on steak restaurants, since they serve good meat and usually at least one steamed veggie side or baked sweet potato. However, I don't find that I'm missing the "forbidden" foods nearly as much...although I still occasionally dream about junk food.
