Starting the Military Diet Again

I think I'm a day late, but I saw my doctor yesterday and knew the treatment would make me feel bad.  I needed comfort food instead of a diet.  So I started it again today.  I'm feeling good so far.  Like I said earlier, this diet lasts 3 days, and then you eat sensibly for 4 days.

I did make one mistake.  I thought I remembered the diet, but I just ate day 2's dinner.  So I'll have to swap out day 1 and day 2 suppers.  At least I'm not exchanging food items, making food substitutions.  I'm only changing days around.

I am stuck around the same weight, 168 or so, so hopefully this will jump start it and make it go down again.  I thought the 7 pounds (even though I gained a pound back, making it 6) is considered dramatic results.  I expected to only lose 2-3 pounds a week.  I'm sticking to the only drinking coffee, unsweetened tea or water.  And believe me, being in Texas and mostly from the south, not having my sweet tea is a sacrifice.  I had cut out sugar mostly, using artificial sweeteners, but I'm discovering that artificial sweeteners make me hungrier.

I wonder how I'll put this out if it works?  I have a couple goals.  I want to get my weight down to 145 (currently 167.8), so I need to lose 20-25 pounds.  I also want to be able to exercise more, which is hard to do carrying extra pounds.  And finally, though maybe not in order of importance, I want the cancer to go away.

I took my new pills (the lower dose of the same pills that gave me a rash last time) this morning for the first time.  I also took my D3 last night for the first time.  I think I slept better last night.  We'll see how it goes.
