Having a rough time

I am still stuck at 237 but that's not even the worst part. I really was hoping to get under 230 in my last week but oh well.

The worst part is I have been overly hungry. So so hungry. I increased my injections but that doesn't seem to have done anything. This is beyond the not satisfied though that is rearing its ugly head as well. I've done so good with temptation this time around and it didn't even phase me. Now throw in serious hunger and temptation and it takes everything I have not to eat more. I ate extra fruit yesterday and had a handful of goldfish-really bad but they were sitting there and I was hungry. It helped but not for long.

The other thing is fatigue. Since yesterday, I have been crazy tired with today being the worst. It is taking everything I have to just stay awake and at that, I failed. Thankfully Braedon kept an eye on Cohen for the few minutes I was asleep but still. 500 calories a day is not a lot and it's certainly not enough to sustain energy but I have yet to be THIS tired since I started. The injections are supposed to help with that.

Oh well..another week to go. I'm really trying to hold out on not quitting early but if I don't see a loss tomorrow, I may just stop :(

I will, however, leave you with a couple more favorite recipes:

Spicy Crab Cucumber Salad
