Well, I've made it through seven hours

of the South Beach Diet. So far:
4 am: 1/2 c. non-fat cottage cheese
7 am: 2 hard-boiled vegetarian-fed, cage-free brown eggs
10 am: 1 low-fat mozzarella string cheese stick

Plan for the rest of the day:
Lunch: 1 vegan burger, slice cheese, skim milk, salad, vegetables
Afternoon snack: 1 hard-boiled egg
Dinner: Sesame tofu and broccoli sans rice
Evening snack: Mozzarella stick
Bedtime snack: 1/2 c. cottage cheese

Hey, I'm working on a limited budget and taking baby steps here. Don't worry, I won't blog my daily intake--I'm keeping a food diary on my PDA. But since today is the official start of the diet, I thought I'd put today's choices in, along with my weight, which was 280.4 lbs as of this morning. Gack! But on the plus side, I was up to 282.5, but the water must have sloshed out of my system in the meantime.

The good news is I feel alert and not hungry except when it's time to eat again. No blood sugar dips, etc. Wish me luck. My short-term goal is 20 lbs over 3 months, but eventually the idea is to get down to 150 lbs...a long way in the future. I'd actually be happy just to be under 200, you know? Wish me luck!
