Over Easter weekend, I had my gorge days. I would like to say that it was AWESOME but it really wasn't that great. Yeah, I had lots and lots and LOTS of food, but by the end of it, I had gained 6 lbs and felt like my eyeballs were filled with gravy. I was actually looking forward to getting back on the VLCD.
The first day weighing back in, I had gone from 160 lbs (where I left off after round one) and was up to 166. I was feeling it too. My skin was breaking out from all the oil that I had consumed. My pants were fitting tighter and I was not feeling as good about myself as I had been.
On the first day of the VLCD I went back down to 162. Good, but not good enough.
On the second day of the VLCD I was 160. My clothes were fitting again and I was feeling really good about myself. Especially since I had to attend a parent function at my child's school and my arch enemy (who we'll just call bologna ass because her ass looks like a day old piece of lukewarm bologna) had lost some weight too in the traditional way and I have to say that aside from her ugly face, matched only by her hateful personality, she didn't look horrible. Nothing like a little rivalry to keep you focused on your goals. Living well is still the best revenge.
On the third day, I was down to 157.8 lbs. I was starting to really feel hungry but since the results that I was seeing in the mirror as well as on the scale are worth it to me. I stuck with the diet.
Today, I weighed in at 157.0 lbs. I'm not as hungry today as I was yesterday and my clothes continue to fit me better and better. My problem with other weight loss programs is that I was working my butt off and seeing really slow results. I was hungry. I was exhausted from exercising and in order to stave off discouragement, I was only weighing myself once a week only to see that 5 days of starving myself and running till I thought I was going to throw up only produced a one lb weight loss and no visible change in appearance. Watching myself transform in a months time, having co-workers come up to me and tell me that they didn't recognize me and tell me how good I look, and fitting into clothes that have gone out of style because it's been THAT LONG since I was this thin is enough to keep me going.
Good luck to all who are doing this diet with me.
Love
Maggie
