This is the twenty second day in my life without food.
What a difference a day makes, 24 little hours... I am feeling much better today and thanks to all who sent words of encouragement and support. Some days good some days bad but still always a little hungry.
4 was the magic number this week which means (for those of you keeping score) I am down 23 pounds in 3 weeks.
Here is the funny thing, in our first class they told us that people lose an average of 4-5 pounds a week on the fast and all I care about is beating the average. I am such a numbers guy and my career has taught me to be extremely competitive so if I can beat the average I win, silly but it keeps me going...at least for now. I am losing almost 8 pounds a week so far...must keep it up!!!
Speaking of numbers, in fat people class last night they gave us a formula that you can use on a weekly basis to determine how much weight you will lose in a week. It's all about calories in and out through activity but I feel a spreadsheet coming on. Great, something else to obsess about.
Day one week four, one day at a time.
wow 23 pounds is amazing. I always think a grand illustration of weight loss is finding something that is equal to the weight you've dropped. (I'd say a 1 year old would do the trick!) And then pick it up. When you realize you're no longer carrying around that weight it is really eye opening. No wonder it's easier to move around now :) Big hug to you today. They say 3 weeks is what it takes to start a new habit. You're well on your way now!!!
