I made it through yesterday somehow. It was not easy. I did not feel hungry...the "lemonade" did a good job of keeping my hunger at bay...but I just wanted to eat because I couldn't. It did not help that I was watching the Olympics and since McDonalds is a sponsor, there were constant commercials for them. I only eat fast food once or twice a year, but those french fries just looked so good!
Today I started out by drinking a quart of warm water with two teaspoons of sea salt in it. It was not delicious, but it was doable. I just tried to think about salty fries while I was drinking it. Anyway, this is supposed to work as a natural laxative....and it definitely worked. I was a bit explosive this morning.
Today was a little bit easier to not be so tempted by food. I was not so bothered by commercials for food. The problem seems to arise around 4:00pm. I do well all day, but as the dinner hour approaches, I want to eat. Yesterday DH cooked a stir fry for dinner and it smelled wonderful. He is really trying to be supportive of me during this time though, and he made more than enough so that he could just re-heat food for the next couple of days instead of cooking every night. Hopefully that helps.
My mood seems to be stable and does not seem to be affected yet. I am happy about that. I also weighed myself this morning and I am down a pound from yesterday morning. I am at 145.5 pounds. I can not believe it!
