4/4/11: My first loading day. I was to eat increased fat to capacity today. I've had donuts, candy bars, mexican food, everything I could think of. I was so sick of food by the end of the day. I ate so much loading that I didn't get hungry until 9:30 p.m. Gave my 150 unit injection at around 9:00 p.m. We'll see how tomorrow goes.
4/5/11: 2nd loading day. Once again, doughnuts, candy bars, home cooked meals at a local restaurant and home. A huge piece of apple pie for dessert. No hunger today, but have developed a slight headache. 2nd shot around the same time at night.
4/6/11: First day of VLCD. Weight 205.8 I used my fruits as between meal snacks. I was ravished today and still have that aggravating slight headache! I was SO hungry before lunch I could have chewed my arm off. I ate my apple, and prayed for lunch. Same in the afternoon--ate my fruit as a snack and longed for supper. I drank almost a gallon of fluids and ran to the bathroom every 30 min to an hour. **No pics yet--I gave my camera to my son to use when his child was born a couple of weeks ago, and Memaw has left it with them for now to take pics of my gorgeous 3 year old granddaughter and handsome newborn grandson. Maybe someday I'll get a pic posted, but documentation of these babies are more important!
4/7/11: 2nd VLCD day. Weight: 201.4 (4.4 lb weight loss--I'm sure due to water loss yesterday) Still very hungry, and have a slight headache. Did the same as yesterday, but added my allowed piece of melba toast to my fruit snack. I do not have a scale to weigh my food on--my sister is also doing this diet, and after eyeballing what 100 gms of meat is, I brought about twice the meat today as yesterday. (I was guessing yesterday, and felt like I was eating morsels.) Don't put it off, go buy an electronic food scale that weighs grams and ounces. I got mine for around $20 at Walmart.
4/8/11: Weight: 200.2. Hungry, but not as bad. I have done really well with not craving sweets, and I love my sugar! However, I walked during my lunch today. I will try and pick a earlier or later time, as I could smell the food wafting out of restaurants. OMG I just wanted to stand and smell it, even though I couldn't eat it. Decreased my fluid intake to 2 liters combined, and haven't been in the bathroom as much today. Still have a slight headache.
4/9/11: Weight 199.4 This is day 4 of VLCD--it is Saturday. I did really well, being at home. Ate out today--grilled chicken breast and small green salad. Supper was steak and cabbage. I continue to eat my fruits as between meal snacks. No headache today.
4/10/11: Weight 198.4 Day 5 of VLCD--I've not been as hungry these last 2 days. Hungry, but not ravished. Headache is gone. I think my body is finally settling in to this diet. I was not so tempted by food that's not on my menu until I saw the Reisens by my husband's chair. I had to just walk away and get them out of my sight. I want to lose this weight soooo badly! It's very exciting to see the weight coming off every morning when you step on the scale.
