Another successful day (a smiley face on my calendar!!)

Brushed and flossed my teeth so I'm good to go. Got my ice water by my side.

I don't feel hungry, don't feel stuffed. Just feel fine.

January Monthly Resolution

I resolute to NOT weigh myself for the entire month of January. I may weigh in Feb. 1. This is to hopefully help me stop obsessing about my weight (numbers) and feeling defeated if it doesn't drop.

Today though, I feel better about it. Yesterday I didn't even need a 4th meal bu tthat may be due to the bad chinese I ate (but didn't keep down- wugh!).

Things I've learned in 13 days:

I've learned that my grocery bill is less than it was pre noS.

I've learned that I won't starve between meals (although it certainly is feeling like it currently!!)

I feel better.

I've lost 5lbs.


I *want* to be healthy. I *want* to be at a healthy weight.

This has happened to me- although not in the 6 days I've been nosing.

Usually I would go get a glass of milk and then I'd be good until morning.

I don't think that's considered a failure to have a glass of milk (well I drink soy milk)?
