One day....I made it through one day of the "D" word.  Can't recall the last time I made it through a whole day of dieting before...in my life! 

 

That's what I thought after the first day of this lifestyle change.  But now, we're into the third week and I'm losing my way. 

 

Was religious about calorie counts...till a couple of days ago.  Just feel like my head's in a muddle.  Hate to be so vague.  Feel like I should be inspiring or something. 

 

Maybe these gloomy thoughts will pass.

I'm struggling right now.  In the beginning, never thought I'd make it through a week of dieting, but this third week is proving much more difficult than Week One.

 

It's not like deprivation.  I don't feel deprived.  Been doing well (I thought) and yet, still feel like I'm in the back of the pack.  This period should be the strongest of times, but it's proving to be a huge struggle. 

 

Doesn't help that I've been fighting a miserable bout with Psoriasis.  It probably plays into this sour spirit.  No excuse, just fact.

 

Trying to be honest in these writings.
