I've survived 5 days!
Sep 12 2008 00:26

My husband and I just finished day five of my diet.

At first it was difficult.  The first day my normally calm husband was yelling, slamming things around and generally grumpy like I've never seen him before even after 7 years together (almost one year married).  I really didn't think we would last the day! Thankfully, I stepped up and used his weakness as my strength.  I would not let him give up and I did not give up either.

The next day I had a doctors appointment and I asked the doctor if he would recommend an appetite suppressant.  To my surprise he recommended salba.  I had never heard of it before and I was surprised it was something I would get at a health food store.  

  Anyways, salba saved my life!  I don't like it very much so I don't really use it but my husband has been feeling a lot better once we started it.  Don't get me wrong, he nags.  Oh god he nags!  But he isn't the basket case he was the first day. 

As for me, it's been hard.  We worked out 4 times this week.  Today I started a medication for a dental surgery that I will undergo tomorrow that causes INCREASED appetite.  Oh the humanity! 

Today I came across this site and I fell in love.  It's so much easier to add food then other sites I tried (shape) and the tool bar is wonderful. 

Now, I understand why people discuss diets so much.  Because it's a complete life style switch.  It's just so all consuming.  I can't wait for a day when this feels natural.  I hope that my husband and I can keep this up.

Good luck to everyone else!
