Day 4

Weight:  257.8

A loss of 3.4 lbs.!  Wow.  That makes me feel better.
I am discovering, or willing to admit now, that I spent a lot of time eating out of boredom, anger, happiness, depression--all emotional.  This is very hard to deal with. 
So I am dealing with depression this afternoon because I am being haunted by old eating habits.  On top of this, I made a vegetable dish this morning which is too strong-tasting for me just plain on the side.  My husband says it's great with chips.  Shit.  
It's 4:35 p.m. and in order to get through my emotions I am having a diet dr. pepper and an apple.  I realize that diet sodas have the BAD aspartame so when my husband walked by and commented on the soda he said that I must not care about aspartame.  Of course I care about aspartame, but I care more about not eating.  
I have had 1/2 gallon of water so far.  It's much easier to keep track of when I drink out of a quart jar.  I have started peeing every 45 minutes or so.  I have also noticed that my feet and ankles are no longer as swollen and this is encouraging.  My headache is also gone.  
So here is the list of vegetables I can have: 
broccoli
spinach
salad greens (no dressing so what's the point?)
celery
onions
red radishes
cucumbers 
asparagus
cabbage
tomatoes
chard 
chicory
beet greens

Guess I'd better get creative.
