New Idea

Ok I have decided as of today that I am tired of being in the "starvation" mode with my 2 ounces of food per meal...In the last couple days if I have gone over my 2 ounces and just ate till I was just a little bit full I notice that I lose a little bit of poundage...I only have 2 weeks to go until I am allowed on normal food and 4-5 ounces each meal, but I cant seem to wait..I am going to move up my food intake a little and see if I can get some to start coming off, cuz this "starvation" period is just depressing...Of course I just now came up with this idea, my plans may change...But today I had half a can of split pea soup with ham and bacon, it was the most wonderful thing I have ever tasted...Half a can was basically all that I could handle and then felt full...I dont know what size a soup can is, maybe 6 ounces...So moving my intake up just 1 ounce has made me feel emotionally and physically better so far...Lets just see what it does to me in the morning on the scales...So, today I have had a whey protein drink for breakfast, 1/2 can of soup for lunch and dont know what yet for dinner but I am sure that it will be great regardless of what it is...If I start to have any sort of problem I will be right back on my 2 ounces of nothing mushie foods...I am crossing my fingers!!

Avilla I am going to beat you with a spoon. You can use daily weigh ins to tell your real weight. Don't expect to change your eating habits for one day to make a significant diffrence on the scale the next day ......and maintain it. Daily weigh ins I think are cool but weekly weigh ins may tell you a better story. Just don't stress yourself out, remember to take your measurements.
