End of day 4!! I can't believe that I'm sticking to this and I'm AMAZED that I'm not starving! I think cutting out diet soda, bread, and sugar have a lot to do with it (insulin related) and drinking plenty of water. My husband asked me if I weighed myself yet and the answer is no - I don't want to because if it's not a signficant loss (like at least three pounds) I'm afraid I'll throw in the towel! I'll wait until the morning of day 10. So, if I no longer post here after day 10--you'll know that I didn't lose any weight and I'm at the local diner ordering a juicy hamburger, chocolate shake, chili cheese fries and oh..a DIET pepsi (Yeah..I love diet sodas.) I know some people may think it's not all about how much weight you lose but how you feel..blah blah de blah! It is how much you lose and that's a fact. Like when someone has been dieting for a while and you ask them how it's going - if they reply, "Well, I haven't lost any weight, but I FEEL better." You're thinking.."hmmmm, no weight lost - not a diet I'm gonna try any time soon." Heck, even on all the diet shows the end of the show is always, what? That's right..A big ol' weigh-in. And the people upset aren't upset 'cause they don't feel better. If I could eat ANYTHING I wanted and not gain a pound, I'd be munching on some buttered popcorn right now and drinking a nice cold beer. Losing weight is hard work - that's why so many people have a hard time doing it. I can say that no matter how much I lose, or don't lose I feel fantastic. I actually have a lot of energy and I feel so much better already - I never even watched Celebrity Fit Club - the reason I started this diet was because I tried a LOT of other things and just couldn't stick to it for more than...hmmm a day. I tried the ABs diet for women and just wasn't structured enough - I'd end up treating myself daily. You get a "cheat" day and I'd ALWAYs, Always, over do it. I tried weight watchers and that was just way to time-consuming and all I thought about was food and how much stuff weighed and how many points an apple had. Last weekend, I went to the book store and told myself that I was going to find a diet and STICK to it. I sat at the book store for a couple of hours and ended up leaving with the Fat Smash book and high hopes.

Day 3 is almost over and I made it! I'm surprised I'm not going nuts with cutting out diet soda, coffee, and well... cake, cookies, beer, wine, cheese, meat, candy, bread, popcorn...lol. I actually feel pretty good and have had a great energy level today. I have not been hungry and my cravings have not been too bad. I had one of my oatmeal muffins for breakfast, an apple for snack, a bowl of home-made lentil soup for lunch (okay...that soup was pretty bad...edible and that's about it - going to have to try to find another recipe tomorrow. I had a banana for a snack - for dinner I had a baked sweet potato with some of my homemade vegetarian chili on top - that chili was the really good - my husband ate a bowl of it and said, "Baby, you can't take this chili on a plane...'cause it's the bomb." Got the recipe from the fatsmash forum. For desert had some blueberries with a couple of spoonfuls of fat free jogurt (sweetened with a little bit of splenda. (I had the blueberries in the freezer and took a bowl of them out to defrost yesterday) Oh - munched on sliced up cucumber while making dinner for my husband and daughter. I'm proud of myself for planning ahead (like buying that thermos for my soup yesterday to take to work with me today) and actually cooking for a change. I usually don't like cooking - so I'm surprised that I've been doing so much of it and actually enjoying it!

Well, this is my second day on the FatSmash - I really hope this works,meaning I stick to it. I noticed I've had headaches from no coffee/soda. It's so tough to drink WATER all of the time -I actually made a pot of coffee this morning out of habit...and because I really wanted a cup. I opted for a cup of tea instead. LIke the book says, if you cheat, you're only cheating yourself. I had no idea how much I love coffee.
I'm in the middle of making some oatmeal muffins (got the recipe from another fatsmash site - they are really good - I made them Sunday night and my husband loves them. This time I added more fruit, so I hope the recipe turns out okay. I think the secret to sticking to this diet is to have the foods available that you can eat. I made a bean soup Sunday night and it was great to have a bowl of soup when I got home from work yesterday - I was starving.
It helps to know that phase 1 is only 9 days - so looking forward to coffee. I love coffee. And a Diet Pepsi. I'm not craving those things as badly as I thought I would though. I told my husband that if I can quit smoking cold turkey, I should be able to do this.
I'm not going to weigh until I'm done with the 9 days of phase 1. I know how discouraging it is to watch the scale fluctuate.
