Day 1 of the food portion of this program. I think I'm going to hate egg whites, grilled chicken, broccoli, cucumbers and celery by the time these 12 weeks are up. I have been hungry today, not sure if it's real hunger or just because I'm not in the habit of eating to live. I think that will probably take some time. I've gone to the bathroom so many times today. I drank 96 oz of my water before 12:30PM. I'm hoping if I drink the majority of my water early I won't be getting 5 times during the night to go to the bathroom like I did last night. I weighed myself this morning – just wanted to see where I was after all the pigging out I did the last week or so….. 215.9. One thing I won't miss is the super full feeling. I ate so much for dinner the last 2 nights I could barely breathe as I was laying in bed. With these smaller portions, that full feeling will be a thing of the past.
I really can't wait until Friday for my appointment to see how much progress I made in a week. The medical assistant said on average I can expect to lose 8-10 lbs the first 2 weeks. I can't wait to see that loss. Actually I can't wait to see the first 17 pounds come off, and then I will finally be less than 200 pounds again. It's been about 5 years I think since I was less than 200 lbs.
I kept busy this afternoon – I wrapped Christmas presents and put laundry away. Food was the last thing on my mind and I wasn't hungry. When I did see the time and the fact that I needed to eat my snack, I actually started dreading eating. Nothing really sounds appealing.
