Shangri La Diet: Day Ten
Weight: 255.2
Wow, 2.2 pounds in one day? I can’t say it was water weight because I drink a lot of water throughout the day. Daily weigh-ins are probably going to fluctuate a bit so I’m not going to get too excited but the fact is this is a new low. From here on out I’m in uncharted territory.
I actually wasn’t that hungry this morning but I ate a small breakfast anyway because I’m going to a work function this afternoon and I don’t want to risk being ravenous around the free food. In the past it wouldn’t have made much of a difference, eating a small breakfast would maybe delay the onset of severe hunger by an hour or so but I’d still feel that overpowering hunger. That’s one of the biggest benefits of the Shangri-La Diet, an awareness of my appetite and the ability to control it rather than it controlling me.
So far I’ve lost nearly 5 pounds without severe hunger or feeling deprived of food. I’ve been eating a lot less but it’s enough to satisfy me. I feel like I’m finally able to take control of my weight and as a result I feel like I can control other aspects of my life, like money and relationships, that I had been feeling were never going to improve.
I won’t be posting again until Monday, I’m going to just stick with what I’ve been doing and not think about my weight or the diet and see how where it leads to.
I’ve been keeping track of my weight in Excel, here’s the graph. The blue line is my weight, the pink line is a 3 day average to show the trend. I’m trying to find a more attractive option for displaying a graph in Wordpress, the Excel graph is hideous.
