January 12
After week one I discovered several things about myself and the diet. I discovered that I almost always eat leftovers for lunch which is not necessarily a bad thing, just something I had not noticed before. I discovered that even though I don't usually eat much in the way of salad dressing or mayo, I now really needed both. My go to dressing 101 was not working for me either. So I made my first attempt at making mayo. I used the recipe on the Whole30® and ended up throwing the disgusting mess down the drain. My daughter suggested that I take a look at the recipe on theclothesmakethegirl.com which I did. Major success. Suddenly, I could see myself doing all kinds of exciting things with it. It really saved me. My only worry was whether the amount I could see myself using would be counter productive.

Now I know that as I
wrote this I had only been on the diet for 8 days, so to expect to start seeing
results was far fetched, but on Monday morning as I was dressing, I did see
results. Despite the fact that in the past I have been able to lose
considerable weight albeit lasting only a short while, my stomach always
remained bloated. At age 48 when I weighed 140 (I am 5'8") a student asked
me if I was pregnant. This morning I looked at myself in the mirror and was
shocked at how much my stomach had gone down! I may not be loving the food yet,
but I am loving the early results.
On the subject of snacks, I do not just eat a snack after dinner. The snacks are included throughout the day.
