R1P2D4 (Round 1, Phase 2, Day 4, for those just tuning in)
I'm at 188.8 this morning, down 2 pounds from yesterday for a net loss of 3.4 so far. I drank 152 ounces of water yesterday and I think that helped a lot. The day before I drank about 90 ounces and only had a 0.6 pound loss yesterday morning.

I'm feeling really good so far. My energy level is high and I don't feel hungry between meals. I even seem to be in a better mood the last few days. I love the new habits I'm learning- I put a lot more thought into each meal, and I'm learning to slow down and take each meal one bite at a time. I know these habits will help me keep the weight off in the long run. Surprisingly, I don't miss chocolate/sweets. I thought I would, but now when I see a great dessert recipe somewhere, instead of thinking "I need to make that RIGHT NOW!" I think "Hmm, maybe I'll make that for my loading phase if I do another round of drops." I don't crave junk. In the last day or two, there were a few moments when I thought I was hungry- I would walk through the kitchen and have to resist the urge to grab a dinner roll. Then I realized I wasn't HUNGRY, I was just in the habit of eating for no reason. Until I started this program, I wasn't eating regular meals, I would just grab and go when I had the chance. This resulted in the habit of grabbing something every time I was in the kitchen. Because I wasn't thinking about it, I didn't realize how often I was eating when I didn't need to.

Here's today's picture:
