Today is the last day of the diet. The official weight loss is 24lbs. Tomorrow I will go back to the 1500 calorie diet for3 weeks, then back on the drops. I have to say... with the exception of watching my child pass, this was the hardest thing I've ever done. I am a food addict. 500 calories a day is tough. I could do it easy for a eay or two but 26 days was hard. Tonight my wonderful husband reprimanded me for helping myself to a piece of turkey that was about 6ozs. I'm only supposed to have 3 1/2. Oh my goodness the fight was on. I am a vicious woman without food. If you try this diet and there are folks around that you wish to keep around, warm them ahead of time that you WILL be a bitch sometimes. I went to the Farmer's market tonight and bought food ror the next couple days. I can't believe myself. No sugar this and 0% that. What have I become? I want some freaking chocolate!
