Today's food is romaine lettuce, soup, and a baked potato for dinner (oh my God, looking for this picture just made me hungrier ...... baked potatoes filled with sour cream, cheese, bacon, broccoli ..... All I get on my potato is a small piece of butter. SNIFF).

T~T oh man, this is harder than I thought. Yesterday, breakfast and lunch were ok, I could handle it ... but then I finished my fruits at like 3pm and got hungry and had to wait till 6 to eat dinner, which was just soup. JUST SOUP!!!! and water. T~T And then, and then, my cousin (Karen)'s bf (Ryan) had pork cutlet curry for dinner, and the smell totally permeated the room and it just looked and smelled so gooooood. Ahhhh, that was torture. Had to avoid tv shows that had to do with food and cooking; had to avoid talking to friends about food .... Actually, still have to because otherwise I just might give into food cravings. One thing about dieting by restricting what you can/cannot eat is that you just end up thinking about what you can't eat more than you normally would, so you want to eat eat eat! But you can't can't can't! So, this is a true test of self-control. Haha. Why am I depriving myself of my favorite fooooooods?! Aih, for my own health, I guess. Haven't eaten so healthy and so little in a long time. It's good, just HARDer than previously thought. No wonder diets are hard to keep.

On the happy side is that I did lose a bit of weight between yesterday and today. SCORE! But I think it might be like, water weight because all that soup and water and fruit make you pee a lot more. Heh. Poo. Well, the first day's always the hardest. Today is a bit better - salad with a little bit of sauce feels more filling than fruits. And then potato for dinner! YES! I am excited ....

But today's test is going to Costco because we need to buy more lettuce and fruits for tomorrow ... boo. All those tempting foods passing before our eyes. Can we do it?! Can we do it?! YES! WE CAN! (hopefully)

I hope it gets easier as the week progresses ............
