Oh my gosh! How time flies. I feel like I am so far behind that I might never catch up. I can’t believe it’s been a whole week since I posted my last update on my FullBar experiment, although, to be honest, I’ve not been very good this week. The good news is that I have’t gained anything, but the bad news is that there’s been no loss thanks to those pesky Girl Scouts. Thin Mints ought to be considered a controlled substance by the FDA and banned in most countries!
Anywho, back to the FullBar thing. I eat a minimum of two FullBars a day and take Alli before each of my three main meals and folks, let me tell you, if I can get my mind right, I think this combo may just do the trick. The FullBar is doing everything the great weight loss doctor said it would (except for taste great..) I eat one and I’m not hungry anymore…for at least 3 hours. As a matter of fact, I literally have to remind myself to eat in thirty minutes after consuming one. The Alli is doing its part to keep the fat I do consume from becoming fat I carry (the proof is in the commode!), which is great as long as I don’t eat too much of it. My only problem is that I’m a slave to my devious mind. When it says SALT I oblige and find salt. When it says SWEET, I rush to the nearest vending machine for sweet. If I could get someone to balance and rotate my brain, I would be in great shape.
It’s kind of like when I quit smoking. The nicotine lozenge, which by the way is a WONDERFUL invention that I would highly recommend to anyone who is thinking about quitting smoking (I quit 4 years ago and have never looked back). I need the FullBar to turn off the physical cravings so that I can deal with the mental whining of my deprived, and sometimes depraved, mind. If I can figure out how to put my brain in timeout every time it throws a SALT or SWEET temper tantrum I’d be in business. It was easy enough to modifiy my everyday habits to avoid my smoking triggers, but I do have to eat everyday in order to survive. I wonder how well a heroin addict would do in recovery if he was forced to shoot it everyday, three times a day in order to live?
Any suggestions?
