Weight - 163.5
It's day two of the binge, and while it looks like I lost weight since my last post, it's not so true. My last weigh in was when i first started, and that was at 5:00 pm, after I had eaten an INSANE amount of food. My weigh in this morning, however, was before I ate anything for the day. So I assume this would be the correct weight to start with.
Today I have been eating as if I've been starving for days, except I've been having lots of trouble with it. While the doctor and nurse tell me that the binge is everyone's favorite part of the entire weight loss plan, it seems so far to be my least favorite. I am not used to eating food in large proportions, especially with my Irritable Bowel Syndrome, IBS. So I have been trying my best, but the large intake of food has been making me feel sluggish and ill. The doctor therefore says that I should be okay to slow down a bit, if that is what my body is used to, and I guess we will see tomorrow when I actually start phase 2. After binging like this for so long, I feel like eating only 500 calories a day will be a cinch!
As for the drinking a half gallon of water a day, that is not easy for me either. I can go an entire day without drinking anything and continue into the next day with ease. So for all those out there who are like me, I find it's easier to buy an 18 oz cup with a straw, like the ones you can buy in Starbucks with their logo on it, and keep it with you at all times. Fill it whenever it's empty, and you will find it is much easier to drink that way. You will end up sipping it all day, and once you have filled and finished 3.5 of those cups, you will have finished half a gallon of water (the minimum daily requirement). These cups can be found at Target in the fitness section where the water bottles are.
