Day 1, 6:52 pm
Well, I have made it most of the day. I am a little hungry, but I do have one last cup of lemonade to drink still. More than hunger, it's a little unnerving to have the family eating around me. It's not horrible, but there's been a few times where scents have gotten to me, mainly the peanut/chocolate smell from Garrett's trail mix. I also can make more lemonade if I feel the need. I am set up to consume the least amount recommended, and I cut the amount of maple syrup, which was recommended for weight loss.
I did have a mug of green tea an hour ago, which is also an option. I think it will help as a filler, and it wasn't too bad without sweetener. Considering how little I have consumed, I really don't feel too bad.
I am feeling a little overwhelmed by the thought of 9 more days, but I am trying to focus on the benefits. At this point, it is more mental. How embarrassing to admit that the thought of not eating for more than a week more has me a bit nervous. Of course, that is a big reason why I am doing this. I need to not be so driven by food!
Knowing that the 2nd and 3rd days are usually the worst is also a little daunting. I need to stay focused. I also need to remember that I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me (Phil. 4:13).
For now, I think I am going to get my last cup of lemonade. Oh, I still have Chocolate Smooth Move for tonight! I don't know whether I am excited or mortified.
