Day 42 of my diet and I have only lost 27 lbs. I have to go into phase 3 of diet on day 45 and for three weeks I have to try to hold my weight at what it is now or hopefully loose a little more. At this time I will start the acceralerated weight loss program again and see if I can loose more. I need this break, eating just 500 calories daily is very hard. I think of food all the time and I know it is because I know I can't have it. Eating a whole foods diet with 3 meals and 3 snacks daily requiring 6 vegetable , 3 fruits, and 1 serving nuts or grains will be like eating a fiesta to me. Hopefully then I can get off hopefully another 30 lbs during the last 45 days of acceralerated weight loss program. Some day I will look back and think how foolish that I have been so dependent on what food I can eat. Waiting for the day when I eat just to fuel my body, but not quite there yet. I also can start some exercising while I am on whole foods diet.
