Everything is still going pretty well. Eating has become more normal, though I am still eating smaller portions and avoiding bread for the most part. I can really tell the difference in my waist and butt as compared to prior diets when I've reached this level. I really think the huge reduction in bread has been the cause of this.
One main difference since my last post is that I was noticing some upset stomach pain each morning. I sensed that it might be related to my coffee, so I skipped a day, and noticed an improvement. So I've skipped a few days since, as well. It seems to have helped. I think the caffeine irritates the stomach according to what I've heard. I don't know that I miss it but I may try again to confirm the experiment.
Last night I had Taco Bell for the first time in months. Had 2/3 of a taco and 2/3 of a meximelt (which is a cheesy roll-up, add beef, add pico) and prayed I wouldn't have any issues. I didn't. It sounds like a lot, but I took my time, and also had a smoothie for lunch, so I was due for some real food. The smoothie really grossed me out. It was similar to the type drinks I had during the liquid phase. Some banana, peanut butter, and vanilla protein powder. I just didn't enjoy it. Maybe it brought back memories of the many days when I had something like that for every meal. Ugh. I was so over that.
I need to work on eating 5 small meals a day. I know that I'm still mainly eating at the 3 main meal times, and nothing in between. I can do this, because I'm just not hungry. It's really fascinating that I can have a 1-egg omelette for breakfast (with a little cheese and bacon mixed in), and then not really think about lunch until 1pm or later.
