Day 4 is coming to a close, and Praise the Lord, all is still well! I am truly amazed that I'm not having bad cravings and hungerpangs! I even tossed out a bottle of fudge sauce and a chocolate poptart! Now that's strength from the Lord! I think I have most all of the tempting items removed, now.
I'm looking forward to trying some new recipes. I want to try some tofu! We will call this 'interesting' and not gross! I've actually found some pretty tempting recipes on the Internet. I've also found some really good web sites for people like me who are trying to diet on a low budget. I'm encouraged even more, now that I see that others have found a way! I'll share some of these in future posts.
I'm keeping up with my food journal. The food guides that I received from the weight loss center (I'll refer to this as WLC now) have been great! Ok, here's an example: a one hundred calorie portion of cooked broccoli is 2 cups! Yeah, put 2 cups of steamed broccoli on your plate! There won't be room for anything else! I'm telling you, the quantity of food that I can have is phenomenal! I won't have a chance to be hungry!
I will weigh in no more than once a week. Speaking from experience from a past weight loss adventure, it is dangerous to weigh yourself every day! Some may disagree with me, but if you have, or have ever had an eating disorder, you will understand the dangers that are crouching in the corners of one's mind when you get discouraged, or desperate. I've even considered not weighing myself here at home at all, and just wait for my monthly visits to the WLC. I guess this is something that I will figure out as I go along.
