Day 1

Day one has been hard. It is not hard not to eat. It is hard because I am normally obsessive and I am obsessing about food right now. I don't want to eat it, but I can't stop thinking about it. I have not been really hungry until this evening. The doctor said this should pass after about three days.

This afternoon I was very tired and just wanted to sleep. I took a short nap during lunch. Tonight I want to sleep so I don't think about food. I let myself drift for a little while, then I made myself get up. I am going to do up the few dishes I have to do. I am really loving that:

1. I don't have more than 2 or 3 dishes to wash.
2. I don't have to think about what is for any meal.
3. I don't have to go grocery shopping.
4. My car is cleaner because there  are no more energy drink cans or snacks.

I think it will also be easier when I start seeing results from the work. The group one week ahead of me lost 10-14 pounds the first week. A lot of water, granted, but weight that won't come back. I have some clothes I really would like to wear again. I should be able to zip up the pants next week some time. Praise God!
