Finishing Third Week today

Many successes on this journey: my skin is clear from a more extreme cycle of skin rash.  I have learned to how to respond to people when I don't want the social pressure to eat.  "That's not in my best interest."  I have lost some water weight.  My shorts are a regular 8 rather than a TIGHT 8.  I am out of the addiction thinking - I am not craving sugar.  In fact, I could smell a dessert the other day and I could detect that it was the addictive kind.  I did 'want' it but knew that it would send me into the sugar spiral!  I am still waiting on further fat release.  I am not sure why my body is wanting to keep it at this point.  Perhaps I need to find why I had wanted/needed it in the past and thank it.  Mmmmm, I will contemplate it and come back.
