R1 Day 9

I am down another pound today. This is really exciting. I can understand why so many people try fad diets. I spent months training for a half marathon and really didn't lose any weight. People commented that I looked slimmer but that didn't last long so we'll see how things go with this. I really don't want to put any of the weight back on if I am going to bother doing this so I am going to try to maintain the loss if not continue on with it.

I have been doing really well with my food. I haven't cheated at all unless you count the fact that I have to use lotion on my hands once in a while. But last night I had a dream that I was eating some sort of candy, like gummi life savers and mid way I realized, crap! I just screwed myself! I guess it's fears presenting themselves in my dreams. Who knew.

I have lost a total of 11.5 pounds now since my highest weight during load days. This is awesome! I am visiting family today and I haven't told anyone really except The Man that I am on a diet so this will be interesting. In fact, this is the first "diet" I have ever been on in my life. I think this may be weird! I hope it's not awkward.
