I'm back. Not for ED reasons though.
I'm back home for the summer, which is boring but not half as bad as it was during Christmas break. One month is way too long to be away from school and into the snow. So far, it's really not that bad here. I'm working, I'm spending time with family, and I forgot how beautiful it is here. At the same time, I do miss my friends from school! I really wish I could visit some of them... but oh well, I'll be living with half of them when I return in August.
So anyways, I've been gaining weight like crazy since I've been home! So, starting this past Monday, I've joined the South Beach Diet (Phase One). I got to admit-- I like it! It's super restricting but in one day, I already lost 5.5 pounds. Not bad, huh?
Sure, it's water weight but I'll take anything I can get.
I've been eating super delicious foods too! Like spaghetti squash, shrimp, chicken, salad, cheese-- basically all my favorite foods.
So this "Phase One" that is a part of the diet is the part that has zero carbs. No fruit, no breads, no sugar, no fats. It's estimated that a person loses 8-13 pounds and this lasts for two weeks. After two weeks, one starts adding in carbs, but I don't know if I want to move onto this phase.
Whatevs, I'll worry about it once I get to it. Anyways, I feel great and hopefully I can keep this up! Actually, I have to keep it up. I have no choice-- I cannot gain weight or else my health will severely deteriorate. This is more than a vanity issue-- this is a health issue.
