A crucial check-in

Why is this different from before?
I’m taking time to be honest with what I’ve experienced today, and how I’m gonna do it even better tomorrow.

Day 4 of going cold turkey. And I’ve done it!
I drank my lemon first thing, had coffee, some leftover fish from last night’s dinner, and some steamed pork dumpling. That’s it. Amazing. I ate only once today. I knew there was gonna be all these temptations in the cafeteria, we’ll be having a send-off party for MJ, and there’s gonna be cake. And I persevered!

Tomorrow there’s nothing eventful, except I’ll be coming in at the office earlier. This is because I’ve spent more than three hours just to get home today, even if I went out at 5. So tomorrow and, hopefully… Scratch that. Definitely, I will be coming to work earlier and leaving work at 4. I want to save my energy for things that matter, and I want to lessen my travel time. I’m will not be efficient if I just keep on wasting time on traffic.

I’m checking in to make sure I’m still doing things right.

I was brave today. I measured my weight and it was 173.75. This is where I’m starting. I’m excited to see the scales go down everyday, because I’m doing my duty. My duty is to lose all these extra weight, and I’m gonna be prettier, and I’m gonna buy a new dress to reward myself for that.

Tomorrow is gonna be even better! I’ve established a new daily rule, which is that I’m not gonna have any breakfast until I’ve weighed in at mornings.

I also told Belle that I’ve done it for 4 days already, not that that’s anything to be proud of, but we got to celebrate small victories, right?

So, limited carbs without being overly restrictive, no rice, and pasta. No artificial foods, no buying any street food or stall food found outside… That’s cold turkey. This is my first check-in, and I’m real glad. Tomorrow it’s gonna be all about rigourous prep work for the team building.

I can do this. I will do this.
