I am down exactly 7 pounds this morning.  I have been hungry all day everyday and I'm starting to think this is the new normal.  There is a stubbornness rising up inside of me that I have not had until now.  I will do this, pain or not.  I stopped all sodas and teas, water only during the day and half a glass of 2% milk at bedtime.

I have weighed each morning and have been down every time.  It feels good to lose the weight which helps make the struggle worthwhile.  And a struggle it is, staying hungry has never been my idea of living well.  Oh well...
