In this entry, I expressed my frustrations and how miserable I was feeling because of the reduction in calories. Now, 2 weeks later, I'm very comfortable. I'm not having the horrible cravings anymore (although I don't think I'll make the chocolate cake again soon; the other day I was ready to take a bath in it). Hub can eat bacon and mayo sandwiches and it doesn't bother me. Seeing the results on the scale (15 pounds now) is very definitely positive reinforcement. I'm much more clearheaded than I was, although whether it's from the vitamins or because I've gotten used to less calories I can't say. In fact, I've been having a hard time eating enough calories. I'd hate to go into 'starvation mode' so I'm trying to stay above 950 or so calories a day. Sometimes I have to almost force myself to eat something before bed to add some calories in - tonight it was a PB&J sandwich.

Today I tried on some shorts that I ordered about a month ago and were too small. I'd never gotten around to returning them. They fit now!
