Oh FINALLY
VLCD Days 18 and 19
Weight 5.5.08: 229 (a loss of 2lbs)
Weight 5.6.08: 227.8 (a loss of 1.2lbs)
Total loss this round 23lbs
Well, that protein day seems to have done the trick for me. That and canceling my church job on Sunday and my morning voice lesson on Monday so that I could have a little more rest! I do have a bit of an upset stomach today, which just about never happens to me. Either it's TOM trying to force its way into my consciousness or I ate some undercooked chicken yesterday. Hmmm. It is great to be into the 220's, and my hunger has really disappeared. It took almost 3 weeks, but I got there! I had hard boiled egg/whites and celery for lunch today with a coffee and some strawberries. I felt stuffed, like I had eaten Thanksgiving Dinner with seconds of everything, after my meager repast! I'm pleased, because now I'll find it easier to differentiate between real hunger and a mere craving. I've started dreaming about eating fried or sweet foods--the last two nights now. And instead of enjoying the gorging dreams as I did in my last round, there's this incredible sense of doom and fear as I'm eating in these dreams. "Don't DO THAT", my subconscious seems to be screaming at me!
I'm posting some pictures next, and I didn't see such a huge difference in them. Then I remembered that the pictures I published in my first post were taken at my LIW from last round, at 238/240. Since I put on about 10lbs during Phase 3, you'll only be seeing a 10-12lb difference in these current photos. My inches are not budging much, but I can definitely see my hips and thighs evening out to be more in proportion with the rest of me. And, vanity of vanities, I'm so glad my bust size does not seem to be shrinking that much at all. Whew. Not that I don't have ample to spare, I'm just rather fond of the girls is all.
