Wow what a reality check!
All right here we go...
First of all I want to say that I was pumped and excited about the new morning, I could definitely tell that the B-12 shot they gave me the day before had really kicked in! I woke early and for once I didn't want to press that snooze button.I took my multivitamin, my chromium, and my...Duh duh DUMMM... HCG shot, like a pro y'all!The day was going great so far, I didn't have to practically crawl to the kitchen to get my Monster, I felt for lack of a better word perky. Me perky, at 7AM? Yeah, that is gonna takes some getting used to. Instead of my morning jolt of my favorite energy drink I went to grab a snack, a healthy snack. That's when I did something that I never do and I looked at the nutrition label. I was ready to be super proud of me, until I looked at the total fat...per serving... 6 grams of total fat in my oats n honey granola bar. That doesn't sound like much, but I have rules to live by now! I'm only supposed to eat 10-12 grams TOTAL, per day. WHAT?! After thinking if I eat this right now, That's almost half of all I can have for the whole day! And it wasn't even eight yet. SO I'm not gonna lie to you, panic had begun to set in, and I thought I wasn't going to be a able to do this. I stared disappointed at that granola bar, defeated I started to throw in the towel. On my second day of the new me, mind you. While crunching on my granola bar breakfast, I soon realized how I really wasn't even hungry. In fact I felt like I was forcing my self to eat it.I looked at the package laying on the counter, about the same size and shape as a dollar, and I had a light bulb moment.I busted it into four pieces, grabbed an apple, cut it in half, and a banana did the same to it, and put them all into plastic baggies. There, I was done. I was munching on one and I had three more breakfasts ready to eat for the next few days.I had 1/2 a cup of skim milk, 1/4 of the granola I would normally have eaten, and 1/2 of a banana...and you know what?! I was full...Not the same kind of full I would be after a heaping pile of breakfast at the Huddle House, but a satisfied less heavy I can hardly breath because I ate too much full. I had a revelation...I can do this! It's going to take some thought and planning, and even a concentrated effort to eat on my part, but it can be done.I know it's not going to be easy, but nothing worth doing ever is!
