Day 27

So I just completed my fast day yesterday, and I weighed myself this morning.  The scale showed 340lbs.  I was pretty shocked that it was so low.  I was 344.5 yesterday morning.  I'm happy to have a new low weight, but I have a feeling I'll be lucky if I can match it after my next fast day.  It definitely helped get my excitement back up.  I know that losing 15.5 lbs in 27 days is not slow.  Heck, losing 10 lbs in 27 days is not slow.  I've just been hoping that by the time things really start to slow down, I've lost enough to give myself the encouragement I need.  It's pretty easy to get discouraged when you've lost 15 lbs and no one can tell.  I'll keep at it.  I haven't been below 340 lbs in 10 years for sure.  I can't wait to see the 330's.

I had my now standard start to the day for fast days.  No breakfast.  A cup of baby carrots (70 calories), and 2 hard boiled egg whites (44 calories) for lunch.  Dinner was a pretty crappy frozen diet dinner of Lean Cuisine steak tips and broccoli (150 calories).  It just didn't have nearly enough to make it a meal.  I ended up cooking two medium sized potatoes, which added ~240 calories and added some ketchup for flavor (20 calories).  I didn't eat anything else, even though I had 75 calories to go.  I just figured the potatoes may have been more, so better safe than sorry.  All in all, I didn't go to bed hungry.  I woke up and just ate a banana for breakfast.  I've been trying to have a light breakfast on my regular days.  Just some fruit or a packet of oatmeal.  I know that I'm going to end up having a ton of calories at dinner time, so I need to keep breakfast and lunch low.  I don't want to be hungry, but I need to fill up on low calorie density foods.
