Day 3³

Well it's day 3, and I feel pretty good tonight.  Today I got a little light headed with a slight headache, but not overly bad.  I know days 3-4 are the hardest for OMAD, so I'm not really surprised.

My weight this morning was really good, seeing a really good loss for Day 3, right on target:

I had a big dinner tonight, as it's my wedding anniversary.  We got Chinese chicken & rice and my kids made us a cake & ice cream.  Even so, I ate it all in one sitting and I was done:

 

Now I feel really good.  My lightheadedness and headache went away a little while after I ate, and I feel satisfied and quite comfortable.  One thing I love about OMAD is that I can eat any kind of food I want, and I don't feel deprived.  Even if I splurge for my meal, it's still quite a bit less than I would have eaten if I ate all day.

So that's about it, feeling really good.  I am always surprised how quickly I start to feel really good once I start doing OMAD again.  I was feeling really crummy just a few days ago, and I already feel so much better.

I think one of the barriers to weight loss, or any change really, is when we know how "easy" it is, or at least we know what we need to do.  We get in the mentality of "I can lose weight, I know exactly what to do, and I know how to do it.  I could start any time." so we don't.  It's similar with anything that we are putting off, because it will be "easy" when we decide to do it.  Like the addict that says they can quit any time, until they try to do it.  Starting is hard, at times continuing is hard, but much of the time the great feeling makes it worth it.
