Starving

Day 1 proved to be much harder than I ever imagined. All I could think about was food and I thought about it all day long. When I was distracted, I didn't notice my stomach growling. I can't believe the control that food has over me.

I had a shake for breakfast, Quaker Mini Delights for a snack (which was like eating chocolate flavored air), shake for lunch, yogurt for a snack, a Lean Cuisine for dinner, and another yogurt for a snack. I also had water. I found myself checking the clock every few minutes to see if it was time for my next bit of food. Is that bad? I stopped drinking pop cold turkey, and my caffeine headache hit at 2am on day 1. Thank goodness for Ibuprofen!

Day 2 was much easier than the first. I didn't find myself as obsessed with the time as I was on day 1. Don't get me wrong, I am STILL hungry but it's bearable. I babysit during the night, so I took my food with me. I honestly felt like a pig when I put my shake, 2 yogurts, and Lean Cuisine in the ice box. I have no idea why I felt this way, but it seemed like I had a bunch of food. However, it did not feel that way when I was eating it!

I really don't think I could follow through with this without the support of friends and family and I want to thank each of you who are reading this.
