so, this round was interesting! i craved so many sweets and junk..........i took 3 sips of diet dr pepper one day! i know that doesn't seem like very much............i knew that 3 sips would end up drinking a whole one and them eating chocolate, and then it would be down hill from there!!!! yikes! i made the decision to chew sugar free gum. i know that is against the rules but i had to do something. i chewed and smacked and blew bubbles and had a huge stash of gum to keep me from falling off the wagon! it was the best i could do!

another thing that i didn't do this round was eat vegetables! the thought of putting one more stem of asparagus in my mouth made me gag! i couldn't do it! i ate my protein and my fruit and a grissini or Melba toast when i needed it, otherwise, i was did fine!

this round i lost 21.4 pds on vlcd and gained 2.6 from my last vlcd on maintenance.

other drama this round..........a girl at church actually approached joseph and told him that she needed to do an "intervention" and questioned him to see if he knew what i was doing to myself. joseph informed her that he knew exactly what i was doing because he had done this diet too. he also advised her that if she had questions, she needed to speak directly to me about her concerns. funny, this person has yet to approach me and speak to me about her concerns. she has spoken to everyone around me but not directly to me..............i feel like i'm in high school again sometimes. people can be so hurtful and claim it to be "concern".

sometimes you have to put your thick skin on and keep on doing what you feel is best for you.
