Another drop of 1 pound. Starting to feel more hungry now in the day and at night. I've got over the "will power hump" whereby the weight loss so far counter acts my hunger pangs between meals making it increasingly unlikely I'll come of the diet and binge on comfort food as I did in the beginning.
I've found a cup of tea (no sugar) or drink of water gets rid of hunger pangs. Tea in particular is very good, I don't drink gallons of the stuff, maybe 3-4 cups a day. The caffeine obviously gives me a little boost but the warming of the drink seems to have a very good effect on getting rid of suppressing the desire to eat. Of course over time I will become more used to eating less than 3,000 calories a day, at my current level of 1,200 to 1,500 of course I am going to feel hungry!
12lbs loss overall and I am beginning to feel lighter all over. Obviously my "beer gut" has reduced, but I also feel slimmer everywhere. I am really excited that if I stay the course I could once again fit into a pair of 32" waist jeans, for the first time in 9 years! With the weight loss I am also experiencing less aches and pains. The effect of carrying around 60lbs of excess body weight must put a strain on muscles, ligaments and so forth. Go only knows what it does to morbidly obsese people...
