Day 1- Dukan Diet Beginnings

I will begin by sharing a starting weight and my goal or "true weight" as Dr. Dukan calls it. This in itself is the beginning of a new leaf turned. I have spent so much time beating myself up and hiding behind these numbers that I am not even sure who the real "Amanda" is anymore. I however have come to grips with the troubling digits, without this fact I could not assume my position of change. So without further procrastination...     
       Starting Weight: 208lbs.                                                                                                               True Weight: 130lbs.
Today began the first day of the "Attack Phase", meaning I can only have pure proteins for the next 7 days. I started the day off with plain no-fat yogurt and the prescribed 1 and a half tablespoons of oat bran, I found out I was NOT crazy about plain yogurt, I gagged after each bite(my personal preferences should not hinder your own, just don't buy the biggest container available, as did I. :) ) Today I bought Vanilla flavored to replace the plain, and it is allowed on the plan. For lunch I had turkey meat balls with taco seasoning to satisfy my natural humanistic need for flavor and was well satisfied. I snacked with a glass of no-fat milk and I am now cooking seasoned chicken breasts and siding it with some egg whites. So far motivation is still soaring and although I forsee shortcomings I don't predict them overcoming the grand end result. So for now I will end and my wish for the evening is that whatever struggles you face, learn to love yourself as is and then begin to change the things you want, to increase your confidence and the feeling that others can love you the same way you already do.
