Day 4: 310 lbs.

Whew! Made it through the first day back at work.

Yesterday was the first day I really felt hunger pangs. I managed to resist the temptation, and stick to moderate meals and very light snacks. Continuing to deny my body the food it is used to getting will be the real challenge.

So far, I've been dieting for three full days and the scales say I'm five pounds lighter. That's very gratifying, though I know that most of that weight (3-4 lbs) is not real weight. If I were to stop dieting today, all of it would come back instantly.

The real weight comes off much harder.

Today will be the second day back at the office.

Logged no exercise yesterday. That's also what being back at the office--and having to take care of the kids because my wife was sick--will do.
