Happy birthday to me!

I've lost 4 kg in 3 weeks + 3 days. What a great birthday gift to myself! 8.4 kg to go, though I am not set on a particular goal weight. I'll know when I feel right again. I don't post too much anymore because it seems the routine is pretty much set. I eat much less, and I'm not generally feeling hungry. I sometimes even skip dinner when I can tell my tummy isn't rumbling or feeling empty. When I get past the initial 'but I'll starge!' thought, I find that I the lack of hunger continues throughout the evening until bedtime. If I get hungry, I'll eat a piece of cheese and I'm set. I've started experimenting with recipes, I might start posting some in here.

On a completely different topic.... I'M GOING TO SEE U2 TONIGHT!!! I can't wait.

In the 60's!

So, 2 weeks + 4 days. Lost now 3 kg in total. My last strategy is working better than I thought. When I tally up what I eat in a day, it looks like nothing, but I am simply not hungry! No calorie counting, no exercise. I find I have to avoid even the dextrose-made sweets, because they kill my apetite completely. One bite is all I can manage in a whole day. I am a very different person than I was 3 weeks ago where eating habits are concerned.  At this rate, I will be noticeably slimmer by Christmas. I might even feel comfortable at the beach!

Though I am very happy about the weight loss, I find the other benefits are sufficient to make going off fructose worth it. I have noticed that I never get bloated anymore, my skin tone has improved and I am less moody. I read an article about how insulin is thought to be now a major player in the aging process. So hey, no sugar = younger look. That works for me too.
