Day 4 of my Pre-Op Diet plan and I finally have control of my hunger and cravings. Day 1 was full of excitement with the "I am gonna do this" attitude, especially with my surgery date now set for 9/9/14. Day 2 was a real bugger with an unstoppable craving for...Doritos, which is not something I would normally eat even on an unhealthy binge. I ate so much sugar free Jello on Day 2 to try to avoid caving in to this ridiculous craving. Day 3 had me on a road trip trapped in the vehicle with my husband chowing down on a breakfast sandwich and a package of chocolate covered donuts. By day 3's end I was off-schedule, miserable from sugar highs and lows from untimely eating, and TIRED.
Today I felt good, I was not hungry, I didn't crave anything, and my mood was stable all day. I have made it a point to walk every day and although it was a rather short walk today, the self-discipline of getting out there and doing it was monumental. It is the little things that I push myself to do that will amount to weight loss success in the long run.
