DAY TWO

Well, two days are banked. Two days when I started to remember that which I never forgot but simply ignored. Two days when I ate normally. On Monday my caloric intake was under 1000 calories. I remember from experience, that this is too much (in fact, it is too little!) Tuesday was a bit more real as my calories were just under 1400. In order to be successful (again) I will need to make choices that do not leave me craving food all the time. The thing is, as I started to make poorer and poorer choices, eating more and more garbage, I found myself where I have been all my life - constantly hungry and never satisfied. Sure, it has only been two days that I am making the choice to cut out the junk - I did not feel hungry. Is it possible that I already feel a bit better? My imagination? Placebo effect? Who knows? Who cares? I like a good placebo.

DAY 1 of PLAN A

On Saturday, my goal was to be closer to 1000 calories.

I did manage to stay under 1500 calories.

I didn't 'forget' not to eat chocolate.

And any chocolate that I might have eaten, which I didn't, I didn't forget to log in my food diary.

Day 1 of Plan A was a success.

Something that I really do not understand.

I did step on the scale this morning, Sunday.

My weight was 241.0 lbs.

I am well aware that I did not lose 4 pounds in one day.

Only because it seems mathematically and physiologically nearly impossible and certainly unlikely.

However, if I am going to believe my scale when it annoys me, Saturday 245.2 lbs, am I not compelled to believe same scale on the following day when it registers 241.0 lbs?

The plan today is to continue to greatly reduce my caloric intake over where it has been for the past weeks and months. In fact, this is the plan for at least a long string of days.
