11:00am

This is my first day on the Very Low Calorie Diet phase of the plan. I would be lying if I said I wasn't hungry. I am. So far today I have had 3 cups of coffee and an apple. I ate the apple about an hour ago. I WILL say that I don't feel famished...just hungry. I'm going to eat lunch at noon. Lunch will be:
Grilled Chicken breast (100 grams)
Spinach with the vinegar dressing I bought at the office
A breadstick

I should probably do something around that house that I've been putting off for awhile. Like, start cleaning the basement. I don't have a lot of motivation this morning. I cleaned the house and got caught up on laundry yesterday. I "could" clean the laundry room. That's a better option.

Noon

I just ate my lunch. I grilled the chicken on my George Foreman grill, shredded it, and put it in a bowl with the spinach and drizzled the dressing on it. And I cheated a bit and ate 2 breadsticks instead of just one. The breadsticks are about the size of a long straw. And yes, I am still hungry...but not famished. I feel physically satisfied but still feel like I could eat something else. I will not, though. I am going to try and not eat the fruit as a snack anymore. I also tried to eat my "salad" slowly. I don't think I did. I was so hungry that I don't remember a lot about actually consuming it. I think I slipped into an eating coma there for a few minutes.

OK.. Gonna to try to keep myself occupied. More later..


2:00pm

I had a couple more breadsticks. Was VERY hungry. Only 3 more hours until dinner. You're right, Mel. I need to keep myself occupied. I've been at home all day. I need to find something to do tomorrow. I might go with Annette to find some donations for our first fundraiser and Dale's got a doctor's appointment tomorrow afternoon. That will at least keep me busy. OK.. Gonna go take a shower now.

8:30pm

Day One is winding down. I was really, really hungry around 3:30 but was trying to hold off until dinner SO, I took Mel's advice and found something to do... I practically raped Alan when he got home. I told him "Take your pants off. It's either have sex or I'm gonna eat." I told him he couldn't have a blow job, though, as "penis" is not on my list of meats I can have. Alan likes this diet.

I went to Annette's to help her get some stuff done and I'm glad I did! It kept me occupied. Alan and Dale went to the mall for Pokemon and I was seriously afraid that I would go crazy smelling Taco Bell, Panda Express, etc. I did have to hold myself back when I gave Paige and Tyler a brownie for a snack, though. I was very close to "werewolf" mode. Instead of the full moon, I turn to a monster around food that I can't have. Paige almost lost a hand. But "good" prevailed and I didn't eat it (or hurt Paige) I DID smell it, though. It smelled good!

I ate dinner around 5pm. For Lisa's benefit, here's what I ate;

100 grams of round steak, grilled on the George Foreman grill
1 tomato
Melba toast (I had 3 pieces)
Strawberries with splenda

That's all for today. Check back tomorrow. (Thanks for the comments..It keeps me going)
