Day 12 - still down 11 lbs, no weight loss today BLAH!

I've been more hungry than usual the last couple of days but today isn't too bad; then again I've stayed busy and took a walk. I didn't even eat my second fruit last night, so I'm really disappointed that I didn't lose anything today! Maybe tomorrow (sigh!) I will definitely be eating my fruit today though! I walked by the fruit stand on my walk and oh my gosh, I'd LOVE to eat one of those peaches! Just one! Please! Oh but I can't defile the diet so maybe I can get some to freeze; but everyone knows there is nothing like eating a fresh peach, ARGHH! Although this is "painful", it still supports my theory that all of these "cravings" are MENTAL and not actual hunger and I really don't like that my mind causes me to want food that my body really shouldn't have (oh but it tastes SO good!, see there it goes again!) I am hoping that after this diet I will not want to go eat every single yummy thing out there and will be able to choose better foods; I love all kinds of foods, not just sweets, in fact, the only sweet that I can't resist is ice cream; not cakes or pies or cookies, although if you put cookies out, I will eat some. Anything small that you can grab and eat real fast is a downfall for me when I'm hungry; I will need to learn to keep celery, etc in the house for snacks and that will help.

I don't know what today's food plan is; I'm thinking maybe cabbage and chicken? I love cabbage and I got some at the Sunflower Farmers Market yesterday.

Yesterdays food was: these really thin eye of round steaks that cook up in a minute with fresh tomatoes. My fruit was an orange. (Lunch)

I ate celery on the way to the temple; at home I made a mahi mahi fillet cooked with the tomatoes (jenn ate those); I ate my crackers but bought some different ones with the same calories that was recommended on another HCG diet site (maybe that was the difference in not losing weight? Maybe it has more salt? Although salt is allowed without any specific limits) Did not end up eating my fruit after because I was full and it was getting late.

I don't have as much weight to lose as Jenn so I can expect to lose at a slower rate; but a half pound would be nice every day to keep me encouraged. We'll see what tomorrow brings!
