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.
