First Day of Liquid Diet

Today is my first day of my two week liquid diet. I've been apprehensive, of course, but here I go!

My sister was sleeved almost two years ago, so she is cheering me on and giving me tips. Her tip for the liquid diet: "Just try not to think about it." Which makes sense to me and makes me laugh.

She also told me to get ready to shop. Her advice, shop thrift stores through the size changes so it isn't so expensive. Interestingly, I just can't wrap my mind around a reality of myself losing weight. Much less losing sizes? In my long dieting history, my maximum weight loss is 35 pounds. Not really a size difference. I do know what it feels like to gain sizes. What a sick feeling when the pants are "suddenly" uncomfortably tight.

I took "before" pics last night. I hate them, but keep telling myself it's just the truth and I'm working to change. It's hard not to feel embarrassed and sad. Today I will work on working up the courage to post them. ugh
