Day 13 of 30, Challenge 1; Post from Whole9 Forum
It's day 13 and I'm doing great, feel great, looking great. Everything is great. Except..... cookies. All I can think about are cookies. Everything looks like a cookie, smells like cookies, everyone is eating a cookie every time I turn around. I dream about cookies almost every night to the point that in my dreams my friends are all yelling at me, "Put the cookies down!" To make things worse it's girlscout cookie time. Why do they strategically place themselves right where you will walk by them over and over and they ask over and over "Would you like to buy some girlscout cookies?" YES! I would love to, I want to scream. But I don't. Instead I put my hair in front of my face and book it past them. Sorry to be rude, girls, my willpower is only so strong!
I haven't cheated. I wont cheat. I'm making a lot of yummy food and working in a lot of variety. This is the most sustainable diet change I have ever made. I really do just LOVE cookies.
Last night I sliced up some yams, covered them in a little EVOO and baked them. It was kinda like a cookie but not. It was soft with a little bit of a crunch on the outside. It was also sweet. My friends doing W30 suggested sprinkling it with cinnamon next time. Sigh, I will try.
Does "cookies" count as a food group to reintroduce into my diet after the 30 days? (rhetorical question, just needing to share)
DIE COOKIE DRAGON, DIE!
Note: The resultant advice on the forum was DO NOT EAT THE YAMS. A big thing of this change is not to indulge the cravings. (http://forum.whole9life.com/topic/26007-cookies/?hl=cookies)
