Day 3 of OptiFast diet...sigh

Oh, good gosh. I should be so lucky that I accidentaly got out of an entire week of this diet but I'M DYING!!! I'm not so much hungry physically anymore but mentally I am freaking out!!!!! I WANT A CHEESEBURGER!!!

"I can do this for 3.5 more days...I can do this....I can!!!"

I wonder how or when this brain hunger goes away!?! I can't imagine how after next Tuesday I won't even BE hungry? Oh, joy. But I still wonder if I will want to eat everything in sight?

I think I'm sad, gee its sad that I'm sad, that I never got my "last supper" b/c I was sick over the weekend and barely ate at all...then went straight into this liquid diet. darn.

I did eat a "last supper" What a waste, you may feel like you need one now, but wait, you will learn that you don't. i am eating good food now, and don't feel like i am sacrificing. Get through this, and you are home free!

I didn't do a full out last supper, but I started my LD the Saturday after Thanksgiving so I had my mom make a dish I knew I wouldn't be able to eat after surgery and had some of that.  I had been working really hard for a couple of months prior to the LD so I wasn't even able to eat a lot of food and I am glad I didn't because then the LD wasn't so bad.  Yes there are times when I will crave a "junk food" but then I look at the calories and think about how much I want to reach Onderland and to be the same size as my sisters and I put it back on the shelf at the grocery store and move on to something healthier.  This LD is just short term, after surgery you really will not have the hunger there and for some people they don't even crave some of their favorite foods anymore.  I know for me cake now smells so overly sweet that I can't even think of eating it.  Stay strong and you will emerge victorious!  P.S. Find something to occupy your hands and mind so that you don't feel like you need to be eating.
