VLCD #23: back to LIW + only 24 hours left in Round 2
Back to my Last Injection Weight of 216.6 this morning. Funny how this plan works just the way Dr. S. said that it would, if only we follow the directions! Also, I can tell that I'm holding onto some monthly water weight, so I'm sure that will come off when I start injections again a week from this coming Saturday, if not sooner.
One more day left until I begin the protein phase, and I really am looking forward to having more food. It certainly hasn't been unbearable, but I seem to be craving meat and fish lately - can take or leave the vegetables and fruit, but my body really seems to be wanting the protein. So - I'm going to listen to the old bod and give her what she wants.
Noticed yesterday that I seem to have "shrunk" again - funny how I can be going along losing weight, and not really be able to tell. Then suddenly, pants that I wear frequently have gotten baggy, my tops are hanging off of me, and it's time to go down a couple of size to keep my underwear from falling off! I have some really nice clothes even in the larger sizes, so have been trying to give those to friends who don't mind wearing nice second-hand stuff. I have a feeling that I'm about ready to transition back down from being a Women's Plus size to a regular Misses size. The day that happens, you won't have to read about it on my blog - you'll hear me screaming! :)
I really love Vonda's suggestion in my comments to try visualization techniques for being healthy, happy and excited about being at my goal weight. Funny, but my inner dialogue has always been really critical - I'm my own harshest critic and need to learn to become my own greatest fan. I think we'll work on this going forward. Thanks for the suggestion, Vonda!

Susan,
I too have been accused of being my harshest critic. Thanks for the blog. It has made me realize that I too need to work on being my own greatest fan! Thanks, Pam
