The Third Day!

Camel Head by Kevin Law

Well, I managed to stick pretty close to my eating plan, measuring and weighing almost always, for the past two days. Today is the third day, the dieter's hump day, the most difficult to manage in the beginning. I'm striving to get through today unscathed. We'll see what happens!

For Good Measure

So far, so good. At lunch I had 2 scrambled eggs, 1 slice toast and a cup of cauliflower. I was tempted to slather all with margarine, but refrained and tried to really taste the food for a change. I even put a dash of Szechuan seasoning in the eggs (bold for me), and measured a tsp of grated cheese. It was actually quite good. I also tried to eat slowly for a change, which also helped.

For mid-afternoon mini-meal (i.e. snack) I had an English muffin with a 1/2 T of peanut butter (natural) and 1/2 cup of grapefruit juice in diet ginger ale. It was good!

But now it's 4 p.m. and I'm hungry again. Alas! That's the hard part. Hungry every 2 hours no matter how much I eat. And being hungry, I find it much more difficult to take time to weigh and measure. Ah, well. I'll try to persevere.

Down, but not out!

Today I am going for it once again (rather a long hiatus this time). I must admit to being a stress eater, and the past two years have been quite stressful (deaths and injuries to family members top the list), so I resorted to my comforting old friend, food. (Not really my friend, you'd say?)

I did a lot of damage, but I'm not beaten yet!

So, this morning I measured breakfast intake. Now lunch becomes the challenge. Here we go! Report later . . .
