Lack of Loss
Nov 08, 2012
Well. I think I need more fluids. I have lost 2.6 pounds since starting the 5-day-pouch-test on Sunday. Not too shabby. But not what I was hoping for.
Unfortunately, that is my own fault. I have grazed a bit throughout the process. I do believe it has shrunk my pouch back down again. I am able to eat less in one sitting, which is AWESOME! Except when I forget (like I did yesterday) that I haven't been eating nuts or sugar for 4 days, and eating three Kisses and some almonds might put me over the edge (like it did), and I puked. But that is a good thing too. I should not have eaten those things. My stomach was enjoying it's break from snacking.
Today I am back on track for day 5. I had 1/2 a chicken salad for lunch, and 1/2 a cup of butternut squash soup. It was just enough. I wasn't stuffed. For me, it was healthy, and a good choice. I am not advocating everyone else go out and eat the same thing. I could have made better choices I am sure. But it worked for me. Portion control. I will have the leftovers for lunch tomorrow.
Some days I hate that I can't eat as much as everyone else. I am sure people who know I've lost and regained weight often wonder how in the world I was able to do that considering I eat next to nothing compared to them. Sometimes I wonder the same thing, and then I take an honest look at what I consume on a daily basis and I no longer wonder, but I KNOW why I've been gaining. Honesty is hard, especially when you've been in denial for so long.
