Another day of food! I should be stoked to eat anything I want and as much as I want right? Tell that to my stomach. Today I had a sausage, scrambled egg and a rice tortilla. Then one bite (yep only one) of a banana. Lunch was a tortilla with a slice of cheese, a half cup of rice and a cup of curry. I ate the tortilla and about half of the curry. My original portion was 1/2 to a 1/3 or what I would have normally eaten and I could even finish it. I was so full I felt like my stomach was pushing up into my chest. It is pretty crazy how much your stomach can shrink in a few days.
I did have a piece of chocolate cake this afternoon. It was left over from baking on my last feed day. I wanted it and was really looking forward to eating it. For some reason at 7 pm I had no interest in eating. Duh, guess I should have skipped the cake for real food. Dinner happened at 8 pm, mostly because I didn't want to eat any later than that. I had a quesedilla with half a chicken breast and a nectarine. My goal was to have a salad but my hubby ate the salad at lunch. Grrr. Again even though my portion wasn't large, when I was done my stomach was over full.
I logged my calories at the end of the day just to have a look. I was under 2000 calories so with my last fasting day I average 1352 calories. I can hardly believe how consistent that the days are averaging out to with out any effort.
I got on the scale this morning and I am down 4.8 lbs since Day 3. I did not weight myself on the very first day I waited until I had one fast and one feed day under my belt. Honestly, I was afraid of the number and very relieved when I was what I thought it should be. 4.8 lbs in 4 days. I am amazed! I know it's inside of the first week but its very encouraging. I am going to try to weight myself every 3rd feed day first thing in the morning for consistency.
Wish me luck tomorrow. Hope I can make it through another fasting day.
