The Year of Losing Weight, July 16, 2010

It's nice to be in Iowa with my family. I've really missed them and needed to see the rolling hills and grass and trees. I've slept really well.

As for the diet. It is not easy to stay on a thick liquid diet when we are going out to eat so much. I am ordering soups when I can. Last night I had an omelette with cheese and tomatoes. It was a 2 egg omelette and I could only eat half. I should have weighed out my 4 ounces, but I haven't broken out my scale yet. I did bring it. I ended up with a stomach ache that lasted the whole evening. It was 4 days too soon to eat the egg. I will learn. This whole thing is a process and I have to learn what I can and cannot do. I'll try the egg again in a few days. Refried beans work waaaay better.

I am in the second week and I feel hungry a lot of the time. I need something in my mouth, not in my stomach. My stomach isn't hungry, it's that nothing taste in my mouth that gets to me. That is where the flavored protein water comes in handy. I'm just not a plain water person. I cannot fail...I cannot fail....I cannot fail....
