Weigh in: 126.6 (how did I lose almost a half pound stuffing my face? Dunno, don't care).
If the rest of the diet is this easy, I think I might just disappear. Hamburgers, quiche, chicken cutlet... yum! For dinner -- sushi! Oh, I'm going to miss you... Loading when you have children is tricky. I feel like a closet eater: sneaking into the kitchen when they're outside to play, trying to justify the sudden appearance of brownies and pizza.
I'm not sure how I'll do without gum and mints -- grow a mint plant and chew on the leaves? Will I be skinny and have bad breath? I had to pick up one of those crystals for deodorant... will I smell, too, in addition to halitosis? I'll have to seclude my odorous self, if so...
10 drops, 3x/day: It's not so bad; the drops kind of sizzle under my tongue and as long as I can avoid the minions for 2 minutes, the not-talking thing is OK! Do I feel giddy because I'm ingesting a foreign substance? Or, do I feel light-headed in preparation for the starvation phase? How will I hide from my husband that I'm only eating 500 calories a day?
Stay tuned...
