ok, so here we are........i have lost .6 in the last 3 days! sooooooo discouraging for me! i'll tell you one thing, when the scale doesn't move first thing in the morning, it is hard to stay on track! i started thinking, what can i eat and when can i get to it and eat it the fastest? can we just say that is considered EMOTIONAL EATING my friends? no, i didn't cave but was so very tempted! i have hashed it out with my friends who are doing the diet, i have read and re-read the "bible" of this diet, i have talked with my sister who has friends doing this diet, and i even called the dr's office this morning to see if this is considered a plateau.........i have been reviewing and re-reviewing everything i have done over the past 3 days.............

*the drs office told me that in the middle of the diet that most people do plateau and that that is not uncommon. i was told to up my drops by 5 and if i wanted to try an apple day then i could. i asked if the apple day will re-start the weight lose and they said it would.

*the book says that if you still haven't lost a significant amount of weight by the 4th day then to do the apple day. it also says that the apple day is fully psychological and that your body will re-set itself with or without it.

*i have reviewed everything that i have eaten and touched (product wise) and there is nothing that stands out.

*i am being "INTENTIONAL" as the book states..............if i do not lose in the morning, i will have a stroke and then do my apple day!

so there it is in a nut shell...............i'm barely hanging on. i will not cheat and i will not stop doing this until day 40. that leaves me 22 days to at least lose 9.8 pounds.....no pressure right?

to a better tomorrow................
