I know it sounds miserable and if you think of it that way it can be. However, I have been practicing not eating after 7 pm. I hear my stomach growl at about 9pm. I am trying to think of it as the fat cells screaming. I drink some water and head to bed. I know these first few days it has been a little difficult to fall asleep because I think of how hungry I am ( or think I am). But, I must say that when I wake up after having conquered not giving into the screaming fat, I feel like a champion. I want to jump out of bed in the morning, already feeling accomplished, and weigh myself. I may only see a few oz change at a time, but it is so worth it. It makes me think, "let's do that again" :-)
I have a total of 11 lbs to lose in the first 28 day bet. I have 22 days to go and 6 lbs to lose. I'm feeling encouraged at this point. I want to keep the fire!!!
