Scale: 250.2
I think the water, potassium-rich foods, and the double dose of Green Magma (also potassium-supplying) helped the bloat be contained. That's 1/2 pound over yesterday's weigh-in.
I did note yesterday, even mentioned it to hubby, how MISERABLE I felt after that lunch. Which was odd--having the tummy feel overstuffed, painful, feeling bloated all evening--odd because I used to eat 2000+ calorie binges in the past without much discomfort other than feeling really, really full. Even when I went to bed, I felt like I wasn't digesting the food properly. Like I couldn't handle this large load like I used to.
Maybe it's just getting older...maybe I got used to eating smaller portions since I started changing more consistently what I ate back in June. Not sure. But I kept telling myself: "Remember how bad this feels. Next time you wanna stuff it, remember how BAD this feels."
Even this AM I didn't feel totally back to normal. Like I had a heaviness in my abdomen.
My body just runs and feels better on smaller meals. I need to constantly remind myself of the misery of stuffing....
Okay, so I just had my controlled breakfast (under 300 cals, high protein) to face the day of temptations. :)
I'm hoping Monday's weigh-in for the DDDY Challenge will be cheering.
Okay, the day's tally. Although I won't be home, I'm taking a wee note pad and pen to track what I eat at the party and then log when home.

Let's make this Saturday a slimming one!
To be THAT uncomfortable probably means you've already made major changes internally. Great job!! Sorry you have been so miserable, but in the end, that is a good thing to keep in mind (as you mentioned)!!
