The first two weeks of the shake diet has completed its course. Now, I am on two weeks of eating healthy, regular meals. Over the course of time, I noticed that I was beginning to start feeling full earlier than usual. This is actually a good thing for me because that synapse between my stomach and brain may be working - the one that tells you that you have had enough food.
I try to drink a lot of water before my meals. I think that has a lot to do with the "fullness" I am feeling. Still, I do not mind. It is a huge help to feel full or "OMG - do not eat another bite or I will blow" feeling.
My endo had told me that during the two shake weeks, I won't see much activity on the weight loss front. It is when I start eating regular meals, then the body no longer feels starved, so the body is no longer storing what is in your system currently. Here is hoping that I lose something because I gained 1.4 lbs during those two weeks. Although, I think my body is changing in different areas. However, I need to get a tape measure out and measure my arms, stomach, thighs and such. There, I might see some change.
I am still searching for ways to get rid of the tight, soreness I get every day. It is so annoying to try to walk the dogs in the morning and you can barely move. I just have to be more active and that is all I can do.
I have to keep positive thoughts on this. I have to realize that this is going to be a long haul to get into better shape. Nothing really good or long lasting happens overnight.
