(19,060 posts)Feel great, it's been 9 weeks or so now. Still keeping my total sugar intake around 25 grams a day. The scale battery is dead, so I haven't been weighing myself at all, but that's OK, I didn't want pounds to really be a measure for me, I was more looking at how I feel, and I feel a lot better. And my appetite remains totally different, I just am not that hungry anymore and smaller meals satisfy me and give me energy instead of make me sluggish.
I've added not drinking to my new diet. Gave up beer for a while.
Here's the biggest draw back. I think I need a new wardrobe. My belts are all on their last holes now and starting to sag still. My pants and shirts are hanging off me. Not a bad problem to have.
A week or two ago we went out for Italian and I splurged on a dessert, Creme Brule, it was always my favorite and was delicious. But boy did it mess me up for a couple days. My digestion was off, my energy was different, and I felt light headed after.
