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.
