  1. Feeling a little defeated. The first week of this diet, I had lost 8.4 lbs. Today I weighed in just to see how much I have lost so far and I only lost 2.4 lbs so far. I know I should be proud and not use the word "only", because that is still a huge step but I was hoping for more. I was hoping for the same success this week as in last. I should have known better, this always happens. It starts off strong and then decreases rapidly. 

    Well I still have 3 more days, so let's hope I can make a comeback this time around. B)

      Water always comes off first, thus the big number. The smaller number is most likely fat, so that's always great news. Just keep doing what you're doing, but I'd encourage you to not be dependent on the scale! Numbers can really play with your head and feelings. Also, those numbers aren't accurate in he sense of telling you what your lean body mass index is, fat percentage, bone density, etc. it's just all combined. So who's to say that you didn't gain muscle instead? Please be mindful that all of your body is included in He number on the scale, not just fat.

      I have this fancy scale that tells you, water %, fat %, muscle mass and it bases it on age, gender and life style. I know that the scale is just a scale and the numbers is always going to be off but I want to lose the fat so my liver can be smaller. When I see the number, I associate it with my liver and how much smaller is my liver going to be. I would hate to have an open surgery or to have the surgery postponed because my liver has too much fat.

      I am just panicking at this time. I think it is because the day is coming so fast and it is getting close. I starting to worry about what else can I can to make this process smooth. I just have to get out of my head.

      One of those smart scales! Nice. I'm still kind of skeptical of them. Like how does it really determine everything? If you really think about it, how does it know what percentage of fat, muscle it has? Lol. That's my way of thinking. But hey, if it's good for you I won't knock it for you. 😊

      Try not to panic. I'm sure you'll be fine. If you're following the rules, your liver will be cooperating. Besides, you can't see what's going on inside. I bet it's doing much better anyhow. Try adding fresh lemon to every glass of water you drink. Helps aid in detoxing the body. The citric acid encourages the liver to produce bile, which the body also uses to excrete toxins. In fact, I need to buy some!!! 🍋🍋🍋🍋
