Today was the first time since I began this program that I did not stick completely to the rules. Like, really not. The past 2 days – milk days – had been really hard for me, especially the second milk day. I really felt hungry. And my weight dropped even further down – below the healthy weight zone – not what I was aiming at. So, that was then my justification. I had too much fruit. Instead of 2 servings, I had something like… 5. And my body is barking at me for that: too much fruit sugar. Ugh. So tomorrow I need to clean that out again. The fruit was just so good. That was the second justification. Of course I am right now mad at myself. But on the other hand, it’s okay. I did it once, doesn’t mean I have to repeat it. Lesson learned: right now the focus is shifting from “wow, I can eat again, eat, eat, eat” to “eat only when and as much as needed to not be hungry“.
About
10 August 2009 is the day that I began a new adventure.
As a fact, it is so far off any other diet I've ever read about or done myself that I needed a place to keep it all together, a place to write down my life on this path.
MY GOAL: to finally lose the weight I had gained when I stopped smoking almost 10 years ago.
Not that I am currently heavily overweight. But I have always been very skinny and I feel at my best then. From the 45 pounds I had gained, I managed to rid myself of 20 pounds in arduous attempts. But the last 25 pounds have stuck with me way too long and tired of constantly "dieting" and hovering around the same 5 pounds, I decided to drastically change something.
