Up to 158.0 today,
I definately earned that yesterday though. I had a minor cave in. Had guests for dinner so I had a few pieces of carrot and potato with my serving of roast. And then of course I couldn't resist a fresh cornbread muffin....
And earlier in the day I had a small slice of bread for toast. I was able to handle having bread around the first week or so but right now it is really hard for some reason.
So I just shove it in a cupboard so the boys know where it is but I don't have to see it.
I did fine up until about 4 PM.
So I feel pretty shitty today. I feel like I wasted the last three days.
I know for having completed 12 days of the program that 7 pounds gone is still fantastic. And all I can do is forgive myself and jump back on today. But I'm still disppointed in myself.
I hope everyone had a better Monday than I did. And I hope today I can be stronger!

Sunday, day 11 on VLCD..8.5 LBS GONE
156.5 today, that's down a pound and a half over yesterday.
I cheated a little yesterday but it seems I did ok.
I have a couple favorite food items I trade off with each day, like chopped lettuce with Bragg's aminos/cider vinegar, ground spices and chicken breast. Or tomato stuffed with shredded chicken, 1/2 a wasa cracker and (my cheat item) 1/2 TBS of crumbled feta. Mix in some spices and cook that, and oh so GOOD!
Today I had a treat for sunday breakfast. I had some scrambled eggs. about a 1/2 of a whole egg, plus 3 whites. Strawberries, my cracker and coffee with 1 TB of 1/2 and 1/2.
My feast took up about 220 cals. Nearly half my daily. So if hungry I am planning on just dressed up lettuce for a munch mid day. Then my other protein and veggie for dinner.
But it was so good having a brunch...plus eating with the family for once was nice.
So far I am very pleased with my progress.
I suspect the scale will go up a tad tomorrow as I weighed about 2 hours later in the day than usual. And I have to be up at 5:30 in the morning.
The last 2 nights I have had VIVID dreams about eating these huge plates of food. Like, taste, smell, texture all there. Then I wake up in a panic thinking I really did and realize it's all cool. Is that wacky or what? It was healthy food too, but geez, little food obsessed Manda?
Well, off to clean house and go buy more paint for the house!
Good luck to everyone today.
