I need to write down exactly how I feel today. Day 3 of being back on the fasting game, and I feel so good. The first day I thought I'd die. Yesterday was a struggle at times. But today, I'm feeling really good. I need to remind myself that when I fall off the fasting wagon and struggle to get back with it. I was actually doing pretty good until I got sick 3 weeks ago and then it all went to hell. My weight is the same today, 371.2. That doesn't make me happy, but I hope it's at a "cap" and will start to go back down again now. I'm sooooo tired of the water weight game with no real weight loss.
I think I've found a winner for lunch. I'm really enjoying the stir-fry with all the veggies and garlic. I suddenly love garlic! I'd eat more than 4 cloves at a time, but I don't want to kill off my co-workers. Well, not yet. I'm still working on the portions for lunch. My brain says it's not many calories (about 330 calories and that's counting the banana and raspberries!) and I can eat more, but my stomach says otherwise. I still can't decide if I'm eating too little or too much. How can it be this complicated?
