Today I went to lunch with a group of friends and had an Asian chicken salad with a chili vinegar dressing. It came with mandarin oranges, which I picked out (because there's no fruit at all on this diet during the week), and the dressing tasted a little sweet. It was just okay, so I didn't feel like eating much of it, and took half the chicken home for B.
I feel like I've been spot on for 4 days.
But...the weirdest thing is...I feel really fat tonight.
I've been 4 days strictly on this diet, no cheats, in fact I've probably eaten less than is recommended.
And I feel fat.I don't know if this feeling is real or if it is just my ED speaking ("fat...fat...fat").
Whatever...I'm still going to wait until Saturday to weigh. The author of the 4HB says women need to give the program at least a month. So, I've committed to staying on this at least a month, no matter what the scale says in the short term.
Well, just tell your ED voice to STFU! Does being on a "diet", restricting certain foods trigger that old ED mindset do you suppose?
ReplyDeleteI hope you are warmer there than we are here. Looking forward to March and hope we can get together while I'm in Seattle!
Gosh, I HATE that feeling, and most of the time, there's no rhyme or reason as to why I feel that way. Keep up the good work - I think you'll see fantastic results! Oh, and make sure you're eating ENOUGH!
