When Will I Notice Something? When Did You, And What Was It?

No bashing, PJ. Big hugs!! You are in the all too unpopular bandster hell. Hang in there! I know it is frustrating but you can do it. Believe in yourself, as I believe in you.

I suggest you try increasing your calories, I eat 1200 per day.... Plus try increasing your Protein, try to stay away from shakes eat your protein....Chewing makes you feel better mentally.

Good luck to you, you'll get thru this stage.

Oooohhh...I forgot about that "bandster hell" stuff. Was hoping I wasnt going to be one of them...that will teach me for even thinking it would pass over me....LOL!

I will try my best as I want this to be my last "diet" ever! I go for a fill on the 30th so hoping for a little less hunger after that some time. I dont do the Protein Shakes as my dr told me not to use them and to get my Protein from food. I am at a loss as what to eat for the mushy stage as I do the same things over and over it seems.

Thanks for all the encouragement to all who answered...much appreciated!

Just seeing the scale moving was a happy moment for me even if it was only two pounds or three that was two pounds less I weighed. Now at 177, when I look in the mirror I'm like hot damn I look good. My boss told me today your sporting your jeans skinny girl. That made me feel great. It's little things that happen like all of a sudden and your like yep I got this monkey off my back. It's not an over night sensation but I will take it.

Thanks everyone. It was interesting and fun to read everybody's "aha moment' story. It's funny, but a couple days ago I looked in the mirror and thought "is my face slimmer". Didn't know if it was just hopeful thinking. The next day my sister said my face looked thinner!!YES!! That'll tide me over till the next nsv.
