Weight: 173
WOW! Dare I say it? I've lost weight! I haven't seen the scale this low in a while! But it's been tough. Day 3 landed on a Saturday! That means I'm home all day, preparing and eating meals with the children. Do you know how hard it is to cook something without tasting it? It's VERY HARD. To make it worse, my husband made the best tasting chicken picatta for dinner!
So what did I do? Simple, I quit the potato diet halfway through day 3. ^_^ I think I will start it again when the work week starts. Or maybe, I'll just replace 2 meals a day with potatoes. That might be an easy substitute.
I have noticed a lot more bowel movements. I'm going to have to research what potatoes do to gut bacteria.

I've tried going back on the potato diet with varying degrees of success. I didn't have time to peel and boil potatoes so Monday was bust. Then on Tuesday I tried using instant mashed potatoes instead of real potatoes. That was effective to a tiny degree. I wasn't as hungry, but I wasn't as satisfied either. In fact my craving for junk food went up. I even went to the vending machine and got some pork rinds.
Now it's Wednesday. I washed 8 yukon gold potatoes and then microwaved them for 6 minutes. I've been snacking them as if they are boiled eggs. Not too bad. I've had two potatoes so far, and my desire for any type of food is minimal.
