Day 2- I just took my 2 morning pills and now I'm downing my 3 glasses of water that are suggested. Drinking a lot of water isn't as hard as I thought it would be but I do pee a lot. I do feel accomplished when I drink so much water. I didn't know if I would be able to but it's not as bad as I thought.

The hardest part is not eating in the morning. I take the pills around 6:30 am and I'm not supposed to eat for 2-3 hours but I am hungry. I think I just have to let it leave my mind and try not to let it bug me. Usually if I can occupy my mind with thoughts that aren't "I wish I could eat" or "Only 2 more hours" then I'll be fine. The constant reminder that I am not allowed to eat only makes my stomache growl louder.

I had an interesting conversation with my sister yesterday about PCOS (Polysystic ovary syndrome) not sure all the details about it so look it up if you'd like. My sister has it and it's hereditary as far as I know. I went to get tested about a year ago and my OBGYN told me I didn't need to be tested. The information my sister gathered yesterday, however, seemed to prove otherwise. Basically to sum it up, if I have PCOS it could be one of the contributing factors to my weight (among other things). I am going to try to find a health clinic and see if they will test me for that, and I will let you guys know the result.

I'm going to the grocery store today to pick up some food hopefully I will make good decisions. I will definitely eat before hand because like many people I know, if I go to the grocery store on an empty stomach...I want to eat EVERYTHING. I'm so blessed to work at the job I'm at (as a nanny) because the parents buy TONS of produce (and produce is expensive)

Anyways thought I'm going strong on day 2 hopefully this motivation won't die down!!

Until Next Time,
Elizabeth
