Day 17: Hunger

Today for the first time I am hungry, famished.  All I can think about is food.  I want a big, juicy burger with onion rings and ranch dressing.  Seriously.  A little more than two weeks into this diet and it has been fairly easy.  Until today.

Have you ever noticed how many food ads are on TV?  Go on a diet and you'll realize they are everywhere and ALL.  THE.  TIME!  I'm not sure what launched today's feeling of deprivation.  I'm eating as I usually do ... so far about 500 calories.  Even now I'm drinking some Tomato Soup w/ a bouillon cube.  I'm feeling full, but it hasn't taken away the hunger.   I even had a fleeting though about eating that burger - what could it hurt, right?  I do realize it could hurt a lot.  After all, the reality is it's ONLY been two and a half weeks.  In that time I've lost 12.5 pounds, which is significant, but only a drop in the bucked compared to what I need to lose.

So far so good.  I'm thinking about cheating, but I haven't and I won't (hopefully!).  I guess this is just something I'm going to have to face every now and then.  Wish me luck.
