Journal
Entry. Today was the first day I didn't wake up with a slight hunger burn. It's taken about a week to break through feeling hungry all the time, though I'm not sure whether it's because I wasn't eating enough last week, or because it just takes this long generally. No coincidence that yesterday was my highest caloric day at roughly 450.
Of note: I had the saltiest piece of fish ever yesterday. Yuch. Suspect that added to my slowed loss. |

Journal
Entry. I've been getting too few calories (fewer than 400 most days). When my mom found out, I got the 'eye.' You know the one: when you see it, you freeze. Despite the fact that you're over 40, and even though you're not doing anything, you pray - just pray - that she's looking at your brother. Yeah. She hit me with that.
So I finally had to decide which rule to break (not to mention the fact that I'm hungry all the time). Do I stick to portions and ignore the 500 CU/day rule? Or, do I ignore portions and stick to the 500 CU/day rule? Assuming Dr. S intended on us getting 500, and assuming that the portions were a way to help us gauge and control that, I went with option 2 - hit 500. Hence the 5.25oz of protein I had yesterday. I figured that of all the groups, this was the safest one to jiggle with. Yesterday, I finally got close to the 500 mark. Let's see how this goes. |

Entry. Today was the first day I had the 'not hungry' experience I've read about. It's taken me about a week to get past feeling STARVED all the time. I'm grateful for the Phentermine, since I believe it took the edge off. Whew. Yesterday, though, I wasn't interested in eating my last piece of fruit (sorry mom). Could have taken it or left it.

Entry. I've had little loss over the last two days, which finally broke today. That happened once before, so I'm interested in seeing if any patterns surface. However, on average, I'm probably where I should be. I've lost 2.4lbs over three days, which averages to .8lbs per day.
