This was a tough weekend for my stomach. Not because I was hungry--not nearly--but because it is being forced to adjust to having to process real food! My roommate, Shane, said it best: Before, my stomach could just quick scan what I was eating and say, "Welp, nothing useful here. To the colon!" Now it has to work. Or it gets to work. All of this roughage is undoubtedly good for me, but my gut is learning what to do with it. Since yesterday (Saturday) morning, my stomach has been grumbling constantly, but definitely not out of hunger. It hasn't been painful or nauseating, just uncomfortable. I'm going to bring it up with my counselor at my check in tomorrow, but my guess is that it'll resolve itself in time.
We're coming up on the official One Week mark, and I am weighing in 10.25 pounds lighter than when I started on Tuesday. Pretty...pretty...pretty...pretty good. My clothes are fitting better, my body is not nearly as tired as it was when it was full of grease, and I'm even more motivated than when I started. I still have a long way to go, but I am fully on board.
I haven't even eaten all of my food today. This is the weirdest diet.
