Attempting to Test My Pouch

Nov 04, 2012

So I am a grazer.  I am always eating.  Doesn't matter what it is I just put it in my mouth and before I know it I have apparently consumed enough calories to now be back in 200+ville.  (239) to be exact.  :(

So today I woke up and decided to do the 5-day-pouch test.  Today I have consumed only protein drinks, tomato soup, jello and pudding.  (And tea and water).  I have managed to make it through the day without cheating.  Believe me, I have wanted to cheat, but every time I got close I realized the only person who would know would be me and that wasn't what I wanted.

Tomorrow I apparently can have canned meat, tuna, etc.  I am going to attempt to have another day like today, mostly fluids.  But I might have tuna for dinner.  I am sure you're wondering what the 5-day-pouch test is, here is a link http://www.5daypouchtest.com/.  They have a lot of recipes, and food ideas.  We'll see where I am and if I am able to "shrink" my pouch back down.  

But I do realize more than just trying to shrink my pouch, I am using this as an opportunity to prove to myself I can make it through the day without grazing and cheating.  Baby steps!
