Back in the Saddle!

Today is day one of the very low calorie diet & MAN am I happy to be working on losing weight again! The past 6 weeks have felt more like 6 months, waiting for this day.

I gained 2.6 pounds in my loading days. Last time I think I lost weight instead of gaining in the loading days. I made sure not to allow that to happen again this round. ;) I dropped hints left & right about how much I wanted some ribs & corn muffins from Famous Daves, & my sweet husband finally grasped the message & gave me the green light. So yesterday I stuffed myself until I felt like I'd gone to a sushi bar, eaten all I could eat, then eaten all another person could eat as well... then drank a few liters of water.

It was miserable to be me last night! Pepto Bismol was my friend & today I'm grateful to be watching what I eat. I'm even somewhat grateful to be running to the bathroom every 15 minutes with all the water I've been drinking. I feel like I need to carve a tick mark in the wall after every visit though. "Was that the 18th or the 19th time I've been in here today?"
