Round 2 VLCD Day #17


After eating a couple of nights ago yesterday was much better. I tried doing more warm teas as nikkispower suggested. I tried doing the apple cider vinegar but couldn't get it down very well BUT I will try it again today with a little less vinegar. Everything went well until last night when I got really hungry and broke down and ate some yogurt which would have been fine if I wouldn't have put all those chocolate chips in it. I did however go down the .2 lbs that I had gone up though. I am not too upset about it because I'm a believer that you have to let lose a little every now and then and NOT beat yourself up for it. We're all human. We all know that eating chocolate chips is a no no. But sometimes we just need the damn chocolate chips. Forgive yourself and move on. If you stay focused on any failures it becomes easier to feel it's too difficult to continue and you give up the diet. It's better to cheat and eat, feel human and get the chocolate euphoria high, forgive and refocus. I've lost 32 lbs in only 2 rounds. True, I might have lost 42 lbs if it wasn't for chocolate! I'm ok with that. So for everyone out there who is really hard on themselves 'the day after', don't. But refocus and commit to the next 24 hours as cheat free. 


On another note though I've had so much of my fat be lost during this time that I'm losing fat is places I never thought of. MY FEET! Yes, the bottom of my feet and heel. This is bad because I have torn ligaments/tendons around the balls and sockets of a few joints and those fat pads were crucial in minimizing impact to the joint/tear. I mean, come on! I'm sure I have more fat on my thighs that could go first. I see it jiggle and ball up so I know it's there. Why my feet first?! Now it not only hurts to hit the floor when I get knocked down in roller derby but it hurts just to stand in my skates. I've put more padding in my skate and wear thicker socks. I can't wear any of my nicer shoes and am stuck to wearing only my tennis shoes ALL THE TIME with additional padding and orthopedic insoles in those too! Oh well, I shouldn't complain! I just thought that was weird since I thought it was just that my feet were tired until my husband looked at them and noticed they were "skinny". Sure enough, no fat. Is this what we all have to look forward to, the aches and pains of skinny girls?! I will keep my fingers crossed for all of us. :)
