The Atkins Diet – Day 9

Yes my dear friends, I am still alive.

I still have not consumed any obvious BAD carbohydrates like rice, noodle, cakes, bread of any sort.
I am damn proud of myself. The first few days were TERRIBLE! I had bizarre cravings every second (I still do but more on that later). Pizza with cheese (No thank you to Pizza Hut commercials) at 9pm, Amoy Street Fried Rice at 4pm, Fried Bee Hoon at 10pm, Porridge at 11pm and erm, Muffins at every hour and Dark triple fudge chocolate cake slice (swear I only want just one taste) at every sight of the damn Patissier flyer in front of me, the damn delicious looking BBQ flavoured Pringles in my room…. and more that I am too ashamed to name!
Now, 9 days into this no BAD carb diet, I feel slightly better. Although it’s still frustrating not being able to find food easily, I don’t crave carbs as much.
I weighed myself on Saturday (borrowed the digital weighing scale at Carrefour and ran to a quiet corner to weigh myself so that NOBODY will see my weight) and it shows a drop of slightly less than 2kg. Good progress I guess?
Yesterday I weighed myself on the very old weighing scale I borrowed from my landlord, Jeff. it showed the SAME WEIGHT as before I started this diet! I was horrified.
I mopped around the house feeling quite depressed before going back onto the scale again.
And did that several times.
Then Jeff popped by my room and told me that this weighing scale is inaccurate (IF he’s not mistaken) and I will need to minus my weight reflected on the scale by 2-3KG. WAH!! I was overjoyed!
I tried to ignore the fact that when I got my Roomie to weigh, the weight was accurate.
I need to go get myself a good weighing machine. Anyone know where to get one good and cheap in Singapore? The digital scale at Carrefour is good but too expensive lah. $25++ for a weighing scale seems too expensive no?
Ok, so this is an update to say sorry for the lack of updates. I will be back with more! :)
