Today was a very good day. Had my usual 2 shakes, a Lean Cuisine Chicken Chow Mien dinner for supper, and 2 hard boiled eggs for a snack, and of course my morning coffee and plenty of water. I did also have 1 can of Diet Mountain Dew, which is the only soda pop I've drank since starting this. It's time for bed and I still feel full! Maybe my body is finally getting used to having less food. I even put out cookies and cupcakes for the students at work today and didn't feel all that tempted by them. I got a little frosting on my finger, but instead of licking it off I used a napkin and wiped it away.
The only thing I find discouraging so far is that I am not seeing a difference in my body yet. My clothes don't fit any looser and I don't feel like I'm losing any weight. My scales need a new battery, so that is something that is going to be fixed very soon. I just need some confirmation that all of this is making a difference. To be able to see even a few pounds gone would really be encouraging. So, a new battery is of top priority now. I wasn't all that worried about replacing it before because, quite frankly, I had no desire to step on those scales. But I think it is certainly a must now. One good thing, though, is I haven't had the opportunity to weigh myself repeatedly, which can be discouraging from past dieting experiences. But I am going to keep plugging along! Surgery day is getting closer and closer! :)
