Day 4

Today for lunch I had a "salad" - it consisted of a little under 100 g of grilled chicken, 1/2 cup of mixed peppers, 1/4 cup chopped onions, romain lettue, and a tablespoon of salsa that did not contain vinegar or sugar. Wasn't the most tasty thing in the world, but it was satiating and included a variety of veggies which is important. I thought I would want to eat my apple and my Melba toasts too, but I was full after this! I'm sure I'll need a snack between now and dinner though.

Yesterday after dinner, I got pretty hungry. I didn't eat anything, even though I bet I could have had another apple and still stayed on the plan. The hunger subsided after I went to bed though, and I didn't wake up starving either. The drops this morning did suppress my appetite through lunch, so I wasn't missing my breakfast.

Is it weird that I feel slimmer already? I haven't worked out at all, but I think that's because I'm really not consuming enough calories to get in a vigorous workout like I'm used to. I will try walking on the treadmill after work and dinner if possible.

I also want to note that because I'm not pumping calories and sugar through my veins, I'm finding it easier to go to bed earlier. This diet is really, in a lot of ways, about resetting myself and changing my bad habits. In doing so, I've had to decline two dinner/drink invitations this week, which takes a hit to my social life but I'm okay with that for just 2 weeks. Maybe it's selfish, but I really want to see what results are in store for me, is that so bad? I think to really achieve a goal, you have to set aside time for yourself to focus, and eliminate the things that sidetrack you. In the scheme of things, should I feel bad I turned down drinks with a guy I hardly know? Probably not. I think putting myself first is hugely important to staying on track. I KNOW I CAN DO THIS, so why let others derail me?

Looking forward to weighing in tonight or tomorrow. I'm sorry I didn't post my initial weight, but I knew it would be heartbraking for me. If I were to guess, I'd say around 125+ lbs.  My goal is to lose at least 10.
