I made it through day one on Meta-Slim, not starving yet, but surely looking forward to breakfast this morning. One ounce of cheese on a wasa crisp and 1/2 of an orange with a cup of black coffee. Now I just need to make it until 11 AM for my protein drink.
I was watching on television the stories of people who are 6 or 7 hundred pounds. It was interesting to see that they live in denial of how much they eat. It wasn't any different from what I have done I the past, just on a grander scale (no pun intended).
How often have I had 10 oreos at one sitting, or a box of chocolate over a weekend? Thinking, I will worry about this later, it's not important, I don't care if I gain weight, just let it go, it's not that bad, it's not that much.........
Oh, it's hard to admit. Now that I am within 30 pounds of "normal range" weight, it's even harder to believe that I did that. It's hard to believe that I've gone off-track so many times. If I had stuck to Meta-Slim 21 onths ago, or to NutriSystem a year ago, I would already be in the 160's- which is where my goal is.
I hope I can come back in a few weeks and write all about how it feels to be in the 180's, then the 170's, and to reach 169 for the first time in 14 years- that will be a day for celebration.
Pray for me!
