Day 5 and chugging along

Though I am having serious hunger pains, dizziness and foggy headed today. It's gotten better through. I know the difference between when my tummy is empty and wanting to eat something but I am battling both pains. One is physical and one is mental. This is tough but I'm pushing through!

Last night I had chicken and asparagus which was tasty and satisfying. I ate my breadstick for a snack and sat down to watch tv. Food has always been present in front of the tv, as I'm sure with most homes, but last night I didn't have a craving to stuff my face with crap while watching Game of Thrones so I have to say that's a success so far!

This morning, woke up to pee, took my drops, and checked the scale: 221.6#!! That's 2lbs in a day! :) I'm hoping for 2 more overnight as I've peed just as much today as I did yesterday. I might get excited more tomorrow morning if I see another 2 lb drop. Might. I'm still thinking this could be just a scam and I'm starving myself slowly. I was just so hungry this morning and this afternoon! No headaches, though.

For lunch I cooked veal at home, packaged it up with some cucumbers, and a breadstick in my MLP lunchbox. I also cut up an apple and ate it on my way to the barn. Also, it's a good thing I have a giant coffee mug to take green tea with me, but I found I drank it too fast and had to fill it up with water. I was just so hungry that I kept drinking! I hope that hunger feeling goes away tomorrow. Where's the feeling of "euphoria" as described in Pounds & Inches? I'm kicking myself in the ass for not drinking that cream as Linda advised on the YourHCG boards on facebook. I will remember to really, REALLY load up next time.

I had more chocolate sauce and strawberries for a snack today. I thought I'm safe if I had a 2lb drop from yesterday. It was just so good to have chocolate that it made me feel better! I was less hungry for dinner.

Just ate dinner of asparagus and white fish, tilapia with this really good seasoning I found at Aldi's today.

I almost forgot to take a picture for today but took one after a few bites into dinner.



I just ate a bit ago but my tummy says I'm hungry still. I feel a little worn down but not terrible. I could go to sleep right now. Maybe I'll just chill out on the couch for a bit? I'm kinda just tired right now.
