I cannot believe how much better I feel already. Just a few months ago I felt so bad I thought there must be something drastic wrong with me and now I have so much more energy and so much less pain. Each day I feel better. The last couple of days I felt slightly hungry when I went to bed because I have not eaten the full amount of calories I was allotted for the day, but I did not want to eat more, right before bed. I knew once I went to sleep I would be fine :) Tonight instead of going to bed hungry and with only having eaten around 700 calories for the day, I ate a whole bag of kettle corn popcorn! Bringing my total for the day to just under 1000 calories. I know that I cannot keep that level up but seriously I have not been trying to do it. I have more energy than I have had in a long long time so I know that my body is ok with it, for now. Like I said I have not been trying to keep my calories this low. I have just not needed the extra food. And since I do need and enjoy the energy and the motivation I will continue to go with how my body feels for now. You can never tell when my body is going to need the extra fuel again. BTW I am a nurse, have studied nutrition and fitness for years so I know all the things someone might say, but I am not starving myself, really.:) Positive comments are welcome :)
