Day 4

Okay, yesterday was interesting. Lunch was boring Tuna heated up for a change with Romain lettuce a Melba toast and strawberries. I did try a new drink I can make with sparkling water and flavored stevia and I put way too much stevia in it so it wasn't so tasty as it was way too sweet. Then dinner came. I made steak with a southwest rub, red potatoes cooked in butter, Rhodes rolls, cucumbers, carrots & peas fresh from Shawn's mom and dad's garden(made by Shawn's mom). We had Mom and Dad Williams over for dinner last night and everything smelled sooooo good! I was so proud of myself for getting through a very difficult situation. I am a very social person who loves to have company over for dinner... a lot.... well, what did I eat you ask? Well I'll tell you. I had my steak and cucumbers. After we ate dinner we went swimming and I realized I had not eaten my Melba toast, so I had that. Then a little later I had some more Strawberries with a little milk (1 tablespoon) and a little vanilla stevia. Delicious. I felt so surprised that I stayed on what I needed to. I have to realize that for the next little while everyone around me is going to be eating really yummy not so good for you food and it is okay that I am going to be eating my special diet. I am proud of myself for being strong. This morning was kinda weird with the scale, first I weighed myself and I was 185.2. Then I had my bath and dried off and weighed again... I know I probably shouldn't have weighed again.... and I was down to 184.6. Holy Cow! This really works. It is hard, but do-able. I was telling Kristina on the phone how I have plenty of energy, but I feel like my stomach is hungry. There just isn't a lot of food going in, so about an hour after I eat I feel like I want to eat again, but I just have to wait. I can't wait to see what the scale says tomorrow. I will not cheat on this. I realize that I am the only one it affects if I do cheat, so really whats the point of that?
