NEW HERE? READ ME FIRST

My family started this "No-Sugar-No-Flour" (NSNF) challenge in August 2009. I posted a lot of background and "how to start" info in those first few posts. To better understand WHAT we are doing and HOW we are doing it, please take a few minutes and go back to the ARCHIVES and read the first four posts beginning August 2009.

We started strong in '09, had great success, but got too confident and quit too soon. Valuable lesson learned. We've "started back" twice since then and also had success, but were not as dedicated as needed. So here we are in summer of 2012 and we are starting again. We've had our ups and downs but we have not given up. We are going to put our story out there to help make us more accountable and hope you support us.

My 2 teen girls will be blogging as well so my only rule is you have to BE NICE! If you can't say something nice, GO AWAY. We hope to inspire someone but this is our journey. You are welcome to join us and support us but it's hard enough without having naysayers. Love us or leave us... there's no in between.

We welcome your prayers for success!!

Hey! This is Emily...

This is the Ezekiel 4:9 bread we eat. We get it from Kroger in the frozen case in the natural section.  It's at Earth Fare too. We also buy Ezekiel wraps.  Not every Ezekiel bread is flour-free but the orange bag is.

Hi everyone! Emily here. if you've read my mom's posts you know what is going on with the whole NSNF diet. Ive tried this diet before and lost 40 pounds with very little exercise. i am excited to start it up again, and even though its hard as mess to say no to the slice of birthday cake, But just thinking about being 10, 20 or even 50 pounds lighter makes me want to walk a little bit farther and eat a little less. I am going to keep my entries short and sweet cause even my head started to hurt after reading everything my mom posted! lol love you mum!

I am excited to spend these 2 months working my lazy butt off and i am glad you guys are here to support me.

I might as well do a daily food update while im on here!
Breakfast: 2 pieces of toast
(i know this is bad but i was awake for quite a while and i had 2 lunches.)
Lunch: Bologna Ezekiel wrap
Lunch2: Chicken enchiladas made of Ezekiel
Dinner: Orzo pasta

Uhh thats about it. i keep myself from being crazy ravenous by chewing gum! there's a tip for you! GUM! SUGARFREE GUM WILL BE YOUR FRIEND! except for the fact your chewing it... its not nice to nom your friends.

I want something sweet so bad... -.-

    I so admire your determination, courage and willingness to get back up and pick up that ball. We ALL drop the ball but when we pick it back up and do again, we take back the power and control. Good for you Emily and to your entire family. Let us know any way we can support you. I know Dr. P will be excited as well.

    You can do it Emi!!! I'm starting back today too. I'm at RMH so I have lots of temptations but I'll have to stay away from the kitchen. We can do this!!!
