Note to readers:  I just visited my doctor yesterday; he recommends for me a 1,000 calorie-per-day diet as well as count calories, due to my difficulty in losing weight.  (I might flex that up somewhat, I will see as I go.)  This journal may not be a text-book perfect picture of SBD - I've got to adapt the plan as needed.  :)

Are you hungry or feeling week on so few calories? I can always tell if I haven't eaten enough because I feel light headed. I hope you adjust quickly. :)

So far, this calorie-reduction thing isn't as hard as I anticipated.

I wish you the best of luck on your new calorie - reduction diet! It looks like you are making excellent choices on where to replace extra calories with a lower calorie option. :)

Hi Joy,


It's more effort to count calories, but then I get into a groove and it gets much easier.
