This is really difficult.  I am still reading the book.  So I probably don't properly understand the program yet.  I've gained weight since I started changing my diet to be in-line with what I've read.

We have out-of-town guests coming in about 10 days.  I was so hoping to be selected for the study so I could quick start this weight loss but, alas, I guess I didn't meet the criteria.  Wasn't chosen.

So now I'm uncomfortble in my clothes and I guess I'm going to revert to the old tried and true weight loss method which consists of calorie restriction; portion reduction and applying what I remember from Weight Watchers.  None of the deadly 4 whites....white potatoes, white rice, pasta or white breads. 

This hasn't gone as I'd hoped but like I said I haven't finished the book yet either.  Must read more but I work full-time and my employer is requiring some "homework" right now.  Plus I'm getting ready for the out-of-towner's arrival.  Hard to find time to sit and read. 

Guess that's why I was really hoping for the study.  I really need someone to say, OK, here's what you eat, when you eat, eat this and nothing else for 7 days, OK?  Now go! 

My greatest success in weight loss has been when I planned my day's food events ahead of time, had it all prepared, no doubts, no questions.  It really gave me what I needed to forgo temptation.  Hey, I guess that's what I'll do now but you know it leaves me feeling always a little bit hungry and I was so tired of that.

But when I'm a little hungry all the time, when my portions are half what I really want, when I eat what I should but not what I want.....I'm a babe (translation:  thin).

OK, this is helpful.  Now I know what I have to do.
