Day 2: The struggle
Today I weight 137.5 lbs. This is a normal variation for me, rather than the results of the diet (boo-hoo).
Once again the day started off with bacon and eggs. I have yet to eat lunch. I AM hungry, but I so badly want to deviate. My brain is suddenly wanting all the things I can't have (but wouldn't necessarily want if I weren't on this weird diet). For instance: yogurt. I usually eat greek yogurt as a snack at work, but at home? No, yogurt is beneath me. What do I want today? Yogurt. TOO MANY CARBS. What else do I want? Chocolate. I discovered we have one left over box of girl scout cookies. THE STRUGGLE IS REAL. Cheese is another thing. I want to eat mountains of cheese, especially those babybel gouda cheese rounds. Now I almost never buy these, but now that I'm on a diet, what do I want? RED WAX PLEASE.
Now, one of the perks of this diet is that there is a higher retention rate (according to some small studies). But as a person that has literally never restricted WHAT I ate (just how much) this is very difficult. Cupcakes! Cuban sliders! Milkshakes! Hell, even on of David's protein shakes sounds good. BUT TOO MANY CARBS.
Sigh.
