Day 4

I honestly did not think I will make it this far. This is how suspicious I am off my commitments to any weight loss plan. I did end up eating slightly more yesterday but within the confines of the parameters I had set for myself: no processed food and no sugar.

Morning Tea
Breakfast: Veggie Omelet
Lunch: Smoothie
4:00 pm: Salad
Evening Tea
Dinner: Grilled Chicken

I didn't log my food yesterday but I guesstimate I ate about 1400-1500 calories.

I am down another 0.8lbs this morning for a total loss of 2.8 so far. I have lost this much before just by eating clean for a few days so unless I sustain this and take it over 5lbs, I am not calling any victory shots.

Today and tomorrow are suppose to be smoothie only days and by estimate about 700 calories each day. I am pretty sure I am not going to do that. Since I am not doing this for detox (where I got this idea from), I would much rather carry the momentum then starve myself and maybe lose 2lbs that I will gain back in a jiffy as soon as I stop.

So I will see what my hunger tells me. Oh and I have been feeling less hungry and I don't think I am obsessing over food too much.

A wise man and a doctor (a.k.a my dad) told me to never stuff myself even with water. Never achieve the feeling of being full because from all the bad eating habits I have expanded my stomach and the only way it's going to shrink is if it's never full. I am working on that. If I feel full, I am learning to stop. I tell myself I can finish what ever is left after 2 hours. That way I am not hungry and my stomach isn't stuffed. This one is a mental block. Leaving food on the plate when you are not even satisfied yet.
