So I finished up the last day of gourging which consisted of gyro's, KFC, In-n-out french fries-animal style, and Cheesecake Factory. I enjoyed every last bit of it-well most of it. I have to say, I wasn't impressed with the double down sandwich I had been thinking about for so long. It really wasn't that great. Good thing I followed that up with my favorite dish from the Cheesecake Factory-Thai Chicken pasta with Godiva chocolate cheesecake...what a way to end the day!
So day 4 weigh in was 262. I gained 3 pounds during gourging-a little more than I had expected but I know it's part of the process. I struggled with hunger most of the first day. I ate lunch fairly early when water and tea just weren't cutting it anymore. I still felt hungry as I finished my food and tried to stay distracted until dinner which I ate fairly early as well. Yesterday brought on a wicked headache and I was tired most of the day. I didn't have energy for anything and it sucked royally! I *almost* caved and said screw it. My husband is doing so well on Atkins and can eat all the foods I want to eat. It is still early enough for me to quit without much penalty but I pushed through the feeling. You see, I've tried Atkins before and I WAS SO SICK! I just can't eat all that fat and protein. I like veggies and I certainly enjoy bread. I ended up eating a couple extra peices of fruit to get by and went to bed early..hungry and early.
It wasn't an overwhelming hungry feeling just a not full not satisfied feeling I discussed during round 1. I will probably up the injections next week but I have to give it a few more days before doing so.
Oh and the best news! I weighed myself this morning and I LOST 6 POUNDS! 255.6! So 3 pounds down if you subtract the gain from gourging :0) I didn't weigh myself yesterday simply because I forgot which I won't do again! It really is motivating for the day to know the weight is just coming off. I can't let myself get in a rut again.
Good for you for sticking it out. You will do awesome!!! I am proud of you....just picture the skinny Brea any time you feel like quitting!
