Trial....

So tomorrow we are going to start a 2 week trial of a liquid diet. Here is our plan:

Breakfast: A protein meal replacement
Snack: Jello or Broth
Lunch: A protein meal replacement
Snack: Jello or Broth
Dinner: A protein meal replacement
Snack: Jello or Broth

This seems to be what the diet will be like right before the surgery and we wanted to see what it would be like so we decided to do a 2 week trial. I think it will be hard, but interesting. I also have joined a site called obesityhelp.com and have found some very inspiring stories and photos. You tube has also been a great source of inspiration and useful information.

On another note, I have a secret that not many people know. I don't look in mirrors. I have never actually figured out why, but I try my hardest not to look in them. When I go clothes shopping I look at how I look by looking down or having someone else tell me how I look. I very rarely wear makeup as you have to look in the mirror to put it on. In public restrooms I will wash my hands without looking up. I guess I feel if I don't look in the mirror I won't see just how out of control my weight has gotten. I try to trick myself into believing I am only a certain size if I don't look at it. Besides, why is it really necessary to look in a mirror???
