First 500 calorie day!

For the first time probably ever in my life, I ate less than 500 calories today!! It wasn't really hard, but I often found if I was board, my mind would wander to food. That was something very good to learn about myself. Often times, I'm not really even hungry but I eat out of boredom. What a great discovery:)

Something also very exciting is that I weighed myself yesterday and I was at 271.5. I weighed myself this morning on the same scale, and I am currently at 268.5!! I've already lost 3 pounds in 24 hours. It took me a week to lose 3 pounds on Weight Watchers. I'm not bashing other diets or healthy ways of eating. This is obviously pretty extreme and I must be incredibly desperate to even venture into something like this, but it's already working, 7x faster than what I've tried to do before! Everyone has to find what works for them, and this works for me.

Once again, the only negative side effects I've experienced thus far are being a little tired and dry/chapped lips. I also absolutely love not having to put on make up everyday too. The only makeup I can use is mineral powder, and I haven't had time to pick some up. I'm also loving how good I feel because I've been drinking a ton of water!

Another amazing side effect is that I'm trying to keep myself busy so that I don't snack or think about food, and I've accomplished a lot! I've cleaned and packed up some of Jadon's clothes that are too small :( and I've packed for all 3 of us as we're going to start house sitting for a friend tomorrow for a few weeks. I also have been desperately wanting to read my book, the Shack, but haven't had much time...

In the name of my good book, I guess I better put the computer down. Hopefully I won't gnaw my arm off in my sleep when my body realizes I ate less calories than my son today!
