Day 4, 7:37 pm
So today has gone pretty well overall. After catching up with a friend I haven't seen in months, I was feeling very encouraged. I also discovered that I have been cold because of a lowered metabolism. That's a little scary to think about, but I believe it will go back to normal when I start eating regularly again. While this whole thing still seems a little daunting--and the days feel longer than ever--I do think I can successfully make it the 10 days. In some ways, I feel like I could go on past that, but I think that is my vanity getting a hold of me. After the ten days, I will Ease-out, which is basically another 3 days of restricted eating.
I also faced a stressful situation this afternoon, which I'd rather not go into at this point. Suffice to say, I realized, in the midst of it, that I wasn't thinking about what type of food to indulge in, what food would make me feel better! THAT was a great feeling.
Is it easy? No. Do I think I can make it? Yes. Yes, I do.
