I'd say I felt that way for the first couple of weeks... I think it is carb withdrawal...lol...or dr pepper w/drawal... but... BUT now I feel better than I have in well over 7 years....so.... it will get better... your body is confused at not being feed sugars I think. --Previous Message-- : Susie, : I am so happy top hear that you are doing so : well. I am very very happy for you. I : definaely feel a bit fatigued durning this : initial stage so your number mix-ups are : something I totally identify with. I mixed : up my numbers a bit myself. Now I right my : morning weight down every day in my : calendar. I started doing that on 8/25th. : I was a little higher in weight before that : and had already stared watching my weight, : but didn't really track it until the 25th. : SO that is what I call my start date now. : So I think I am on day 9, in 8 days I went : from 215 down to 209, for a loss of 6 : pounds. I know that some do a lot more than : that, but I am very happy as well. I : alreadyy feel the bloat leaving me and feel : less "puffy". Mostly though, I am : so so so so PROUD of myself for NOT NOT NOT : going back to smoking or diet pops. Every : time in the past I started a diet and used : it as an excuse to take back my two other : bad faults. Thgis time I am on CAmbridge : cig and pop free. I am very happy about : that.

Oh, dragonfly, I am so incredibly impressed that you are doing without cigarettes and pop, I'm downright InSPIRED. Homestly, I sat down at this computer just now, thinking that nothing anybody said could possibly make me want to continue this, because I am so hungry, and so upset about some family problems. Then I read what you wrote to me, and I feel like I'm not asking too much of myself AT ALL. NO MORE FEELING SORRY FOR MYSELF! THANK-YOU, THANK-YOU, THANK-YOU, DAGONFLY, FOR STEPPING OUT ABOVE THE CROWD, AND RAISING THE BAR FOR ME! Because of your post, I will be able to make it through the rest of this day, and believe me, I was headed for trouble. ~Hugs, Susie --Previous Message-- : Susie, : I am so happy top hear that you are doing so : well.
