Today marks 3 weeks since starting my new program. I wasn't planning on weighing til Monday but caved into the temptation to see what the scale said...especially since it didn't move last week....for sure expected to see it go down...NOT....still stuck on 302...interesting, since I honestly have not deviated from the eating program...so, we'll see what happens when I weigh in Monday. If I'm still stuck then I'll have to adjust portion sizes. I know I'm not eating too much fruit or grains. I'm limiting fruit to 2 servings a day. And grains to 2 servings a day....so, if I have a portion size problem, it's with protein and fat...

Which makes no logical sense to me given my re-engineered digestive tract not digesting fats!!! I let the number on the scale do a number on my head!! I was cranky and irritable all day and had the temptation to just "FORGET IT"...and go eat a footlong Subway and then get ice cream!!! But, I didn't....I soldiered through....

I was out running errands, buying more VEGETABLES.....how can one person eat so many veges in one week??? I'd eaten "meal one" at about noon, cantaloupe and cottage cheese, so by 4 pm was getting hungry and finishing up my last errand. I drove through Pollo Loco and got a Pollo Bowl with no rice, extra chicken and a side salad. When I got home, dumped it all in a bowl and scarfed it down. So, it wasn't a foot long from Subway....sigh....instead of ice cream, I treated myself to Rainer Cherries which were $4.99 lb....a sweet treat but still on program.   

I wish I wasn't so impatient.....I want to get this weight off NOW....but I know there is no magic answer, I just have to be patient and hang in there, eating healthy in a good way for my health and the numbers will eventually change....I guess the honeymoon phase is coming to an end....ahh...
