Re: End of day eight, thinking about how we are going to eat after 10 days....

I am on day nine and am planning to go longer than 10 this time, but I too am thinking of how I'll eat once I go off. I've been a vegetarian for many years, but mainly a junk food one with lots of cheese and other bad stuff. I decided to go vegan in 2007 and start the year off with a MC. With all the great vegan foods out there, I know it's possible to be a junk food vegan, but just not quite as easy (milkfat seems to be in almost every cookie and candy bar!) I feel the best when I eat a lot of raw foods, so I'm going to work towards a high percentage of raw, unprocessed foods.

We are having another "biggest loser" at my job, starting this week, so I think I am going to join that as an incentive to help make sure I don't just gain back all the weight I've lost in this MC. The timing of the contest will require me to be weighed this Wednesday, which will be day 12 of my MC, and I've already lost 15 pounds. The "biggest loser" contest is quite long, three months, so it will give me a chance to stabilze my weight.
