Miserable Failure

Crash and Burn

I’m so disappointed. I didn’t get the full benefit. I didn’t have a high energy level, I didn’t lose any weight, and I really don’t feel very detoxed. Now, I’m not gonna lie here, I’ve always had a VERY hard time losing weight and such. With my total loss being 5 lbs, I lost half of the minimum expectation on the master cleanse. I will say though that I have since been inspired to be a bit more granola. Pick up on the yoga again. Burn some incense. Buy local and organic. I have kicked off a healthier lifestyle since the 10 days of nothing buy lemon juice, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper. Will I do it again this time next year? Perhaps. Maybe with better results having already been through it once. I will say it is a VERY big mental battle. If you can jump that hurdle, you’re all set. And really, what’s 10 days of no food when you have another 355 to get fat and happy?

The only reason I’m staying on this thing is because it’s a matter of principle . I’ve come this far, right? Not gonna lie, I am less than impressed with how my body has reacted to this thing. I’m going to be gone from this afternoon until Sunday, so when I get back I’ll write quite a long recap of how it’s all gone.
To sum up right now?? Not impressed.

I do not have words for how annoyed I am that the weight loss has stalled. Now I’m just going through the motions until I’m allowed solid food again. That day cannot come soon enough.

So Day number 1 of the grapefruit diet is coming to a close and honestly with on partial completion. Let me backtrack for a second, I started my diet today but not to a full following of the sample meal plan. Here is a sample meal plan (that I plan to follow) of the Grapefruit Diet:
Breakfast:
2 Eggs
2 Pieces of Bacon
Black Coffee
8 oz. of Grapefruit Juice
Lunch:
A Salad
8 oz. of Grapefruit Juice
Dinner:
Unlimited Meat
A salad
8 oz of Grapefruit Juice
Bedtime Snack:
8 oz. of Skim Milk
So I started this morning with only a glass of Grapefruit Juice, which by the way I can’t stand the taste!!! However I can eat the most regular food!!! So as the old saying goes, you take the good with the bad!!! For lunch again I had a glass of grapefruit juice. Needless to say by dinner time I was starving!!! After a long nap I took a trip to the grocery store. Here is a list of what I bought:
A carton of eggs
2 packs of bacon
Salad Mix
Bacon Bits
Green Onions
Shreaded Parmesan Cheese
Lite Ranch Dressing
Chicken Breasts
2 gallons of Grapefruit Juice
‘
For dinner tonight I cooked a couple of chicken breasts that I lightly seasoned and made a nice little salad. So all in all I think this diet is going to focus more on eating less and eating right. A couple of problems I know I am going to have:
1. I don’t like the taste of grapefruit juice
2. I don’t like black coffee (I have to have it with cream and sugar)
3. I’m not sold on skim milk.
So Day number will truly be the first full day of the diet and following the meal plan. I’m really looking forward to this now and I believe that I will follow this plan longer then just one week! Only time will tell!

I’m getting REALLY annoyed at my lack of weight loss on this thing. I’ve stuck to it so well. (Except for my relatively minor slip yesterday.) I have to be honest, I’m about ready to give it up. I’ve always known it was really hard for me to lose weight…I’ve struggled my WHOLE life. But this is absolutely ridiculous. I haven’t had any real food in a week, and all I have to show for it is 4.5 lbs?? ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? I’ll have to discuss this with Dan. I’m so ticked off.

Ok, I could lie but I won’t. When doing the soup diet always be prepared. After half a day on the diet, I experienced the light headed feeling that people have mentioned. I also got caught out not having any soup or fruits around me for six and a half hours…too long without food and I crashed. I got feeling really bad and was not in a condition to drive so I have to start over tomorrow. As the hunger grew I felt bad knowing Casey is kicking my butt in the diet war, but at the end I didn’t care. I was pretty dizzy because of not eating. Day one tomorrow.

I gave into temptation. I don’t feel good about it. I caved and had a fun-size Twix candy bar today. It felt SOOOO good to have real food in my mouth again. OMG…it was like…bowling…if you know what I mean. And now I have guilt.
I do have to say that I may ask Dan if I can be excused from Limo Lunch tomorrow. I just can’t do it. I REALLY want solid food so bad it almost hurts. It’s not hunger, just a desire for something solid.
I want to eat!!!!
