Holding Pattern
VLCD Days 14, 15, 16
Weight Tues 7/22/08: 223 (loss of .4lbs)
Weight Wed 7/23/08: 223 (no loss)
Weight Thu 7/24/08: 223.4 (gain of .4 lbs)
Total loss this round: 21.2 lbs (still, not bad for 2 weeks)
Grrr. It seems my body has gotten wise to all this not eating business. It's ok, I am sure I will break this little stall soon. I've gotten pretty lax with things lately. I confess, I even had a square of Dove chocolate on monday night. I hadn't eaten dinner and was at the opera and, well, the fat lady didn't sing, she ate. I think I may have tried some makeup on that had oil in it as well, so two strikes against me. I've been very good the last three days though, and hopefully tomorrow will find a pleasant surprise awaiting me upon the scale. This is also a 'plateau' point for me. I hung around the low 220's for years before I lost a lot of weight and then gained it all back, plus 50. So, I'm not going to stress. I look GOOD! Folks around me are noticing and I even bought myself a little black dress that does justice to all the right places.
I find I actually prefer my cabbage and soy sauce recipe to the miracle noodles. Way more filling, that's for sure. I'm a bit worried that I am not getting all my vegetables in, so I'm going to make a concentrated effort to eat more, especially the green ones. I bought some of the Walden Farms no calorie salad dressings. It tastes all right, but I can't get over the thought that I'm not actually eating food, just weird chemicals. But if it helps me get a spinach salad down, so be it. I'm sick of eating hot vegetables in this stifling heat!
All right, late night, early morning, you know the drill. It's bedtime.
