Soooo...It is now day 5 of liquid diet. TEN days to go. (yes I'm counting) I have cried more in the past 4 days then I do when I'm pre-menstrual. What the heck. First, my life could not be more stressful right now. Second, my pattern has always been to saddle up to the chip bag or get some yummy burgers, or make a pizza..the list goes on and on. But I haven't been able to do that. Let me tell you...my 20 oz. bottle of water is not comfort food.
But in just 5 days I have learned a few things:
1) Food can't always be my comfort
2) I won't die if I eat less than my body is used to
3) I really am kind of mentally strong
Last night I made chili, garlic bread, and ceasar salad for my family for dinner. It's weird to cook and not be able to taste what I'm cooking. (I pride myself on my cooking skills) So my hubby just had to taste everything.
I am now under 220 pounds! It's been quite a while since I've been at that weight. I'm trying not to be obnoxious and text my BFF and my girls (my daughters ages 18, 22, and 20 are my "support" people) with weight loss updates or whining about my liquid diet. Again...back to that whole "being with just me" thing that has caused me to eat in the past.
Overall...I feel like a lot of self-discovery has happened in 5 days. Weekend goal...get two walks in!
Happy Saturday everyone!
