Patty's Refeeding Adventure!

[PattyA]

Whoo Hoo! Finished my second day of refeed! The small amount of extra food really took the edge off my hunger that I've experienced over the last couple weeks on the program. Seems like the closer I got to my goal, the hungrier I got at the end.

The program isn't difficult to follow, just a bit time-consuming and you need to be a smart shopper so you have what you will need.

AND . . . I'm not gaining weight so far even though I'm eating more! Now that is really great!

AWESOME, Patty! I know re feed is a while away for me but I'm looking forward to your notes, etc. as you go through this part of the plan. You've got to post some pics too!!

Thanks SDC! I am getting more and more food to eat and not gaining any weight!!!! I am spreading the increased amounts out through the day so I'm not suddenly eating a lot at dinner. And, I got to have a piece of bread which was yummy. I picked a sourdough wholewheat with nothing in it but whole wheat, salt and water and didn't feel bloated or anything. I'm also really enjoying the extra allowance of veggies 'cause I can have more than one vegetable side dish now.

I finally decided to put up a couple before and afters but I have NO IDEA how to do it! Can one of you tell me?

Re-feeding is going great for me! I can really see now that I will be able to eat "normal" amounts of food without gaining weight! It's amazing to realize that it's the combinations of foods that make the difference. I am eating like a pig, it feels like, and I have lost a little bit more.

Only one week to go! And despite some other posts on the board about being nervous to get into maintenance, I have to say I am confident I will do fine and that there is no reason (other than my own neglect) that I would regain my weight. I really do see that I will have to pay attention and keep to the rules but then I'll be able to live the rest of my life NOT FAT!
