Exhausted!

As I approach the two week mark, I am physically exhausted. I am worn out!  Living on nothing but liquids has brought about a tremendous weight loss (about 47 lbs. so far), but at a real cost. I am really struggling just to get through the day without a nap.

On Friday last week, I was feeling so well that I went to our local school track and walked about 2 miles. After that, my energy just went downhill and I haven’t been able to get it back.

I have four more days until I see the doctor and move into phase two (pureed foods). I can’t wait. Liquids are getting difficult to swallow – not physically, I’m just tired of them. Still glad I did it though!  Having the weight off is wonderful. I am able to move better and sleep better. Can’t wait to see the results after the four weeks of modified diet! My goal is 70 pounds off.

===================================================

People ask me if I’m hungry. The answer is YES on a psychological level. I see a commercial for a McDonald’s Quarter Pounder and I would LOVE one, but I know that it’s in my head. My stomach couldn’t handle a McDonald’s hamburger, let aalone a Quarter Pounder. I have to revise my hungers and amounts I eat.

Physically, I’m not really that hungry except when I wake up in the morning. Until I get that first glass of water in me, my stomach rumbles.
