Day 2 Load 176.6

176.6 lbs.

15 drops (9:40 a.m. woke up late)(2:00 p.m.)(10:15 p.m.-woops kinda late!)

Wow, I feel like a gluttonous pig! But, I am not as lethargic as I thought I was going to be. My husband and I had fun trying to find the most fattening foods to eat, both at the restaurant and at the grocery store. But, it is also a challenge. A lot of foods don't have as much fat as I thought. Many companies are trying to make their products more healthy.

It is my understanding that the foods that should be eaten on load days should have lots of fat since the idea is to build up normal fat reserves. So, my gorging has been mostly about the fat and not the sugar.

It is hard work! I am a bit turned off now. Today seems more like a chore than a treat. But at the same time, I am trying to savor each bite as kind of a send off to this type of eating. I am hoping that this experience will change my habits. I look to food as a reward, the "I'm worth it" thing. I really should be buying jewelry or something else instead. But, I don't buy things, I eat out. I love being waited on and ordering something that tastes good.

Well, really, the only thing I am looking forward to today is Ben & Jerry's Phish Food--my absolute favorite ice cream.

Diet:
2 glasses skim milk
1 glass orange juice
4 hash brown patties
1 sausage patty
2 eggs scrambled
3/4 pint Ben & Jerry's Phish Food
2 Banquet beef pot pies
Finished off chocolate chip mint ice cream from freezer
1 cup potato salad
3 Krispy Kreme donuts

Ok, day is over. I am so looking forward to healthy food! I am going to get some Ketostix to measure whether I am actually losing fat or losing muscle. So, I will go to a pharmacy tomorrow.
