2 for 1

I didn't get a chance to get on the computer yesterday to type out a post so today is a sort of 2 for 1.

Yesterday was probably the hardest day I have had. I was extremely hungry after dinner last night. I tried to eat slowly to try to trick my body into thinking I was eating more than I actually was but it had little affect. After about an hour, I caved in and ate another Melba toast...20 calories, 0 fat. It couldn't have possibly done anything but based on the scale this morning..it did. 0.2 lbs is not a lot at all but it also didn't alot a loss of weight. Other factors could play into what the scale said this morning-water retention being the main factor. I was warned about this so it could be coincidence that I ate and extra Melba toast but I'm not sure. Today is the 3rd day on the increased injection amount. My goal today is to hold off lunch as long as possible even if that takes me to dinner time. I am ok before I eat but here it is 1:30 and I am drinking water and tea to try and curb the hunger I am starting to feel. I am also going to just eat protein and veggie for lunch, then eat the fruit and Melba toast for a snack to get me to dinner. I may do the same for dinner and save for another snack before bed. It isn't an increase in food but it may trick my body into thinking I am eating 4 meals.

I really don't want to have to increase my injection again so I will try these tricks first. I am also trying to figure out Monday night/Tuesday morning. I have a client being induced at 9pm Monday night which means I will be up all night instead of sleeping...which also means, I will be up all night with nothing to eat. I will be calling my doctor to see what my options are since I will be working/burning when I would normally be sleeping. If I don't have any options, I may have to risk the lack of loss or a potential small gain to get through the night.

  1. Ugh...boo on the +.2. Just think about my day where I had almost a whole pound weight gain and then right after I had a 1.5 pound loss. You probably had some extra water weight. Don't think too much about it.
    I'm sure your nights being a doula will be hard on the whole diet thing. I only wish you luck there...no real advice. :(
