Weigh in Day 9 from VLCD day 8

OY OY OY. Take my advice people, don't test your own theories. Don't cheat. I am up again to 213 another .4 gain after my cheating weekend. I have no idea why you can't cheat and then speed up your weight loss, but so far it seems you just can't. I have spoken with other dieters who have said that it took them an entire week to make up for their cheat. UGH! I certainly hope that's not the case. I even stuck to protocol yesterday, but had also introduced a bunch of new foods. What my plan is today, is to go back to the foods and "formula" that I know worked last week. We'll see how much of a difference it makes on tomorrow's weigh in.

I'm frustrated with myself. I do think I've finally gotten the dose right, now up to 175. I didn't feel hungry yesterday at all, though I could still be living on my food from the weekend. Hopefully today will prove to be better. I need to drink more water today and stay away from new tastes.

I'm still down 9 pounds though and have not been here in 7 months, so I will continue on and consider this a learning lesson. Come Saturday at my daughter's birthday, we'll have to see what happens. I'm not sure this is worth a cheat.

Have a wonderful day! We are preparing to head out of town, so in the upcoming weeks my posts may not be daily unless I can have some needed computer time to update.
