I'm still surprised that I can subsist on just 700-800 calories a day and rarely feel famished. Sure, there are times I am hungry. The other night I went to bed and I was so hungry my stomach hurt. I could have gotten up and had a shake, but I just didn't feel like it. That was really the first time since I began this diet that I was REALLY hungry. Not too bad.
As I mentioned before, I am having a difficult time getting my full 800 calories each day. I only had about 650 yesterday. Today I'm not working, so I think I'll manage to get up to 800 calories. As I'm sure many of you know, getting too few calories can be just as bad as too many. It can send your body into starvation mode and instead of burning fat you can start burning muscle. This is what I keep reminding myself when I don't get enough calories. Sigh. It's a work in progress.
