FAT MAN, THIN MAN, FATTER MAN...GOOD GRIEF!! I have been "overweight" or whatever other descriptive you care to use to call me fat, most all of my life with occasional spurts of weight loss. I've been up and down the scale several times, (mostly up) and have gained and lost over 300+ pounds in my life. However, I've begun to see myself as more than just a "fat" person...it gets easier to take on a different outlook when one doesn't fight for every breath, or have joints scream in pain every time you move.

I GUESS IT BOILS DOWN TO BEING AFRAID


I have a hard time figuring out what I am feeling sometimes.

 I bought some protein shake mix a couple of weeks ago, but have only drank a few since then.  (The plan was to replace breakfast and lunch each day with protein shakes and supplement with fruits and vegetables. Then eat a "normal" meal at night.)

I have found it is darn near impossible to make myself do it though.  Sunday I replaced breakfast with a shake and today I replaced lunch with one.  So one meal replaced a day is better than nothing.  But the REASON I seem to have a hard time complying with my two shakes a day plan is, well...fear!

I am afraid I'll get hungry if I just have a shake.  I am very afraid to feel hungry!  It's not really based in reality...the shake does curb my appetite pretty well, I start feeling hungry about three hours after I've had one.  Which is the same time frame from eating breakfast at 7:00 a.m. and starting to feel hungry at 10 to 10:30 in the morning.

The only difference is my shake is about 185 calories and my regular breakfast can vary from 850 to 1500 calories.  Shakes do the same thing for a lot less calories.

Theoretically if I'm consistant, I will lose weight.

If I can get over this irrational fear of feeling a little hungry!
