Day One - Morning
It's only 7 am and my stomach's already growling. ALL psychological as I often don't eat anything until 9 am!
Woke up in a panic. Four months with no real food? What the heck have I got myself into??
Weighed on home scale this morning at was 193, four pounds lighter than Kaiser scale at night (with clothes, etc.). This way I can see how much weight I'm losing
over the week (by weighing in the morning), and also be prepared for the number on the Kaiser scale next Monday.
BTW there's a financial incentive to stay on the program as it's quite an investment. Comes to something over $4K, which includes the "food" plus the program staff and medical monitoring. Not cheap by any means. But worth it if I can lose weight and KEEP IT OFF - the even harder part. So in a way, the four months on product are the easy part - no choices. It's afterwards that's tough. But I'm determined. I've been struggling with weight all my life. I really want this to be the last diet...
This blog follows my progress on the sixteen-week Optifast "meal replacement" Kaiser weight management program. I'll be candid about my challenges and successes, including (hopefully) weight loss. I'm determined to lose 30, 40, maybe even 50 pounds and then be DONE with dieting (but not with healthy eating) forever! (Note: use the Blog Archive on the right to read from the beginning in early January...)
So with you on this! Want it to be the LAST diet!
