This summer has been awesome! I have so much energy and I have been so active! I finally rode my bike (havent done that in over 20 years) and my doggies are getting walked every morning! Swimming in the pool and going to the beach! I have done so many activities this summer that have involved walking. It is almost like a dream. It is hard for me not to buy clothes "just because I can". I used to buy things only because they fit, never for the style. What a lifestyle change this has been and continues to be. I have so much more work to do, but that is okay because this is a journey. I have finally gotten over the head hunger and craving, I eat for the nutrition and for fuel. Such a relief, because the first few months were so hard! It was kind of a mourning peroid. It's gonna be okay!

My dietician says 60 to 80 grams of protien per day,so it sounds like you are right on!

NO!! Don't stress about this! Your body is getting used to this big change, if you think about it, you are taking in wayyyy less calories than the average person....you WILL lose weight! This happened to me also and happens to almost everyone! I was so depressed for awhile, felt like a failure! But remember your basics...get your fluids in, get your protiens in and the scale will start moving! Also whenever I eat more carbs, I tend to feel hungrier, so I just resigned myself to keep the protiens the main focus, maybe have just tastes of whatever carb I thought I wanted at the moment. You can and WILL do it!!
