Day 10: Detox Your Diet Supplies | 30-Day Weight Loss-athon
Here we are at Day 10 of the 30-Day Weight Loss-athon. We’re one-third of the way through!
All tasks in the 30-Day Weight Loss-athon are adapted from the 52 Weight Loss Missions program.
Read the steps first, then take 10 minutes to complete them.
Move fast, act quickly and stop over-thinking. Ready?
What You Need:
- A big trash bag.
Step 1
Today we want to get rid of foods that remind you of old habits and sabotage your new eating program.
First, let’s review the specific actions you chose on:
- Day 4: Tweak Your Diet
- Day 7: Count The Calories That Really Count
- Day 8: Splurge Strategically Part 1
- Day 9: Splurge Strategically Part 2.
Based on these decisions, make a list of foods you need to clean out of your life so you can stick to your diet actions.
You only need to detox your space according to the specific actions you’ve chosen. If you’re giving up desserts, then get rid of the desserts. If you’re cutting down on alcohol, then put the alcohol out of view. Make list of all the foods you will dispose of.
Step 2
Right, now let’s go around to all the areas you keep food and clean them out.
We need to detox:
- The pantry
- Your car
- Other cars you use
- Your desk drawers
- Your nightstand
- Your purse
- The basement
- Anywhere else you store food.
Take the discarded items straight outside to the trash. It’s okay – I’ll wait.
Yes, you’re wasting food. But it’s less of a waste than if it took up residence as fat on your body and disappointment in your mind. Let it go.
Step 3
If you want to detox your space of treats that other household members want to keep, what do you do? Ask them to store their treats out of the pantry or any place where you may accidentally come across them. You may have to remind them a couple of times. 🙂

We are trying to change everyone’s diet, including the kids, so I try to have pre-made and easily available snacks like fruit, carrots, and popcorn at arms reach for everyone.

Taking things to share at work was easier than tossing them. Luckily there wasn’t much to begin with. I’m finally getting my husband convinced that snacks can be healthy. He didn’t buy any Easter candy (that I know of). YEAH

I don’t keep alot of snack food in my house. Just enough for our lunches.Usually I only eat the sandwich and fruit with a bottle of water. But I’m switching to pita bread still whole wheat. Also I didn’t buy any Easter goodies so there wouldn’t be any temptations. ( I know I would eat all of them.)

Food is found only in the kitchen, so not much work to do today. Snacks around here are mostly what my daughter takes to school and not interesting to me. However, I’m gonna move my hubby’s mixed nuts and dried fruit to another cupboard whe I won’t see it when getting out things to prepare dinner 😉

I actually just did this yesterday! I assigned a pantry shelf (a high one) for the hubs so he can have his sodas, chips, and remaining Girl Scout cookies but they aren’t in plain site anymore. Everything else was dropped off at work for OTHER people to enjoy, just not me :-).

I only keep food in the kitchen and even then, I usually don’t buy a lot of junky food because I don’t want to be tempted. My issue is having cash on hand. If I have cash in my wallet, then I’ll grab a Dr. Pepper on my way to where ever. Or I’ll come up with an excuse to go to the store so I can add it to my bill… I am getting better though! 🙂
