Breaking Matt - Part 1

In case some of you haven't noticed, I've become a person of considerable girth over the past number of years. I think it started when I quit smoking 15 years ago. I never tried a fad diet or any diet for that matter. Recently I visited the Northeast Ohio Bariatric Medicine office here in Millersburg. Dr. Hart has been working with obese people and getting them to lose significant weight in a healthy and long lasting ways. I have decided to try this weight loss plan in order to improve my health now and for the future.

Here are the details of the plan:
12 weeks of an agressive 800 calorie/day diet
Only one meal a day that is actual food - 4 1/2 ounces of lean meat and 2 veggies
Four "meals" of a liquid protein supplement and one snack of a protein bar
Lots of water and low calorie beverages

This is insane! I have never cared much about what I eat and now I am basically giving up most of my food intake for 12 weeks. I have also quit taking my Zoloft which increases weight. Right now, my body is reacting to the withdrawl of Zoloft and large amounts of food. I feel tired, irritable, emotional and grouchy at most times. But the doctor predicts that will end in a few days as my body begins to heal itself. I think, I know this will be good for me in the long run. Right now, I really want to smack someone, cry about it and then eat a pizza. I will keep you posted on how it's going.
