First of all, I want to say that I'm very touched by the overwhelming amount of support I've gotten from everyone regarding this new adventure I'm taking. I'll admit I was a very reluctant to reveal this part of my life in such a public forum, but I had to do something to keep myself accountable. I am literally fighting for my life here. So I really would like to thank everyone for their words of support. And to those who are in the same boat with me: Grab an oar, my friends, we're in this together!
Day One went very well. I only went one point over my daily allotment which is only about 50 calories. And I wasn't hungry all day, either. And get this - I've lost two pounds already!
Okay, I have done this before, so I know that it's not uncommon to lose very quickly at first while the body adjusts to the new regimen. The healthy rate of loss, however, is about 2 pounds per week. At that rate, it is projected that I should reach my goal of 200 by November 23rd - the day before my birthday. Note that I live in the real world and I know I WILL hit a wall before then. So I'll be very happy to hit 210 by then.
I can already tell by my enthusiasm that this time will be different.
