Woo Hoo!! I was down SIX pounds this morning from my starting weight on Monday!!!
Breakfast: Oatmeal with milk. I didn't eat breakfast until about 11AM
Lunch: A salad
Dinner: Josh called and asked if I' d like him and Tesia to bring supper.
"Yes. Of course."
They had leftovers. Lasagna. Pizza. Chicken casserole. And Tesia also brought some romaine lettuce for salad. So I partook of their generosity (in moderation, meaning I didn't eat as much as I could have or would have liked to). They left me the rest of the lasagna and chicken casserole. (I divided it into two portions to eat later.)
We were talking about dieting while we ate, in particular the HCG diet and Josh said, "If the people who gain weight and then go on these extreme diets to lose it, would just eat all the time in moderation, they could always eat what they enjoy and not ever have to go on a diet." Now that makes so much sense everyone should have already thought of it. But if you're enjoying food and want more, you don't always stop and think of that.
There's a lot of discipline required in "going on a diet". So if you can exercise the discipline necessary to "go on a diet" and lose weight, you ARE capable of exercising discipline. Just choose to exercise it every time you eat and you can eat smaller amounts of any food you enjoy and not have to worry about weight gain. How cool is that?
Before bed I ate an apple.
