Day 6

I was super nervous for my first weekend on the plan.. and of course it had to be a three day weekend!

First thing I did on day 6 was weigh in. I wasn't sure if I should do it or not. Part of me knew if I didn't lose any weight, I might be bummed and inclined to feed my depression with a donut. But I could tell my clothes were fitting a tad looser and I was curious.

I am down 2.5lbs! Huzzah! Seeing the weight come off is a huge motivator to keep doing what I'm doing. They say rapid weight loss is mostly water weight, and I say, whatever. That's only true if you lose a few pounds and don't keep going. If you keep going, you lose more, and that's definitely fat.

So I'm basically done with week one and I have to say, it was the hardest first week of a diet I've ever been on. I've had comparable hunger, but never the constant urge to eat bread without being able to fulfill that urge. Not eating sugar has been easier than not having any grains. I am dying to eat oatmeal. Dying. I'm worried what that urge will turn into.. it could make me beast out later on in the day. We'll just have to see.
