Day 4 Regroup

125 gms of protein only 60 oz water, I'm gunna get another 16 in right now! It does seem like alot of food. So much protein! I drank one of those 50 gm premixed shakes from GNC because I was there at the store. Probably didn't/couldn't absorb all of the protein so maybe a little less for the day. I have not stepped on the scale since Monday, which is very very very hard for me! I sure hope this is doing something!

Well I counldnt resist. I stepped on the scale this am. No change. But I am not discouraged...well maybe a little...well maybe alot I know that it is just a number but its importance has been drilled in our heads. I got rid of all my "fat'' clothes. I think that I am going to go to Goodwill today and buy a pair of size 22/24 jeans. I never want to forget where I came from. Yesterday I was trying on a pair of 8 capri pants and getting upset that they don't fit yet...how crazy is that. Do I want to put those 22s back on? I think not! I need to make sure I am not on a trail of destruction. I am in a healthier place than I have ever been in my whole life!! I need to keep repeating this all day Jen

Hi Jen, May be a healthier choice to go to Walmart and just {try on } some 22/24's. So you don't bring those into your house. I had some bags of 'fat clothes' on the porch to return to a lady at my support group and when it snowed some sifted into the bags so I have been drying and refolding them. It is strange but I can't wait to get these items returned to the lady who loaned them to me as I lost. While gratifying to see the huge difference in {then and now} ...I'm afraid to keep em' around for fear I'll have an excuse to go backwards... If I get in a bad place, God forbid! *Good ol' Dr. Phil says get rid of the large size clothes and any elastic waist items as a protective measure to never have an excuse to go in reverse. Lucky You, to be almost in a size 8 !!! I wish I were there too I haven't seen single digits since maybe age 7. You're doing great. Mary

Thanks Mary that is a good idea.

jEN, Yesterday was a good day. Although i am no longer following the plateau buster diet, Iam regrouping. And by that I mean, journaling, exerecisimng, and focusing on high protein/low fat/carb meals. I feel great, and I am down 4 pounds. Also no alcohol, and although I made brownies and had a couple, I have not had fast food or vending machine snacks. Aliya...regrouping and loving it!

Jen, I am a little late on this post. I am still hanging in there. Friday was a really hard day, I did good the entire day until about 9pm. I should have just went to bed. I ate a 100 calorie bag of popcorn, 7 prunes, 2 weigh****cher mint patties. I felt so yucky and nauseated. I was furious with myself. I hadnt weighed since tuesday so when I got up saturday morning it was killing me to know. I psyched myself out to expect the worst and to my surprise Id lost a pound and a half. Then this morning was another half pound down. I just hope I can stay this way till tuesday. Yesterday and today have been okay so far. Im not doing the plateau buster diet, I couldnt imagine no carbs, oh man! Hang in there girl dont give up! I got faith in you!! Candy
