1200 Huh!

Met Dr.L today. Today is the first day of my participation in her calcium-weightloss study. Here is the deal, I have to watch what I eat, ofcourse. No more than 1200 cals. I am having problems with 1350-1500 cals, how will I manage 1200 cals. I don't know. We will have to wait and watch. She gave me this food exchange chart. I had some idea but it was alarming. Did you know 1/3 cup cooked rice is a serving. An average Indian eats atleast 5 times it. A carb addict like me will do 10 times that.
I will have to do a lot of fighting with myself. No wonder I am overweight all these years of overeating, and a bad metabolism just makes things worse. I wish I was more active as a child. I was never into sports.I liked dancing, but my parents did not care for it as much. I remember in middle school asking my parents to let me join classical dance classes. My parents had this standard answer for everything " Concentrate on ur studies, that's more important". This when actually I was very good student. Anyways no point crying over spilt milk.

The good news is my fat consumption is very very low. Still it will be a challenge. I just hope my body will adjust soon enough. When I was younger I used to like sugary stuff. I slowly weaned myself off of it. And it worked. I hardly care for it anymore. To the point that I don't like sweet stuff. I hope the same works for my overall food intake. I am going to rely heavily on my mind to control my body, I don't trust my body as much. I hope I just don't give up.

Got myself weighed. Was very disappointed. In three weeks I have lost only 1.8 lbs. No did not put on muscles. I am to meet Dr.L again next week. Lets see how it goes.

I am supposed to include 3 cups of soy milk in my diet. Dr.L gave me 1.5 gallons of soy milk. If not anything I don't have to go all the way to walmart to buy milk. That's taken care of.
