South Beach Reflection

I'm finishing up week 3 on South Beach, which I keep wanting to call the South Park diet. Which would be cheesy poufs and I-don't-want-to-think-what-else.

I'm pretty sure I'm now losing weight, as both pants and watch are looser. I don't have easy access to a scale that goes high enough, so I'm guessing.

It seems, somewhat oddly to me, that I've lost my appetite. I still get hungry and I still enjoy good food, but I lack appetite. I think this may be what they talk about in the book when they say that your cravings will subside. It just took me a little longer.

Just by way of example... I made popcorn last night, which I desperately craved the entirety of Phase I. I make theater-style lower fat/salt popcorn in my Whirley-Pop, and generally I eat all of a bucket of popcorn. I ate about 2 cups and I was done. It's weird. Great, but weird. I'll take it. It would be really nice to loose 100-150 lbs, and if I'm not desperately craving the stuff I shouldn't have, it'll be a lot easier.
