------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[B]Thoughts and Feelings:[/B]

I feel guilty towards the Coke Zero, the chicken meat and especialy the pork meat (even if it is small chunks), the cheese and the caesar sauce. And the green tea right after meal! But they say drinking Green Tea after meal is a good habit for weight loss too, it's just that many "frowned" at the thought in terms of the MBD.

But I guess this is what the MBD is for. I can eat what I want, can't I? Have I done the right thing in my first day? *Hope so*

:)Well, I managed another week. It has not been a good week as far as weight loss goes. I went up and down all week! :(
However, unlike other diets I've been on over the years, (none of them worked for vey long!) I have not felt depressed and wanting to give up. It has been easy to keep going, even if the scales are not encouraging.
I'm enjoying room temp water and instead of pigging out on choclate at any time of the day, I found that I can buy it early in the day and look forward with enjoyment to eating it at 3pm!!:D That's amazing!
Anyway, after my first week on this banana breakfast I decided that I wanted to make it a life change. So far so good.

you may be aware of the ongoing financial crisis since its everywhere, many experts predict that the era of easy credit is gone. this has both good and bad; the good is that people will stop living beyond their means, the bad is that in the meantime even deserving applicants are being denied credit according to [URL="http://www.breadmarket.co.uk"]breadmarket[/URL].
I also think the credit crisis may have another unseen effect and that is change people's eating habits; when you go to the supermarket, vegetables are the cheapest item you can get, if people have to tighten their budgets, this might just be the motivation they need to cut out those expensive processed foods!

Thoughts and Feelings:
After yesterday’s perceived binge-fest, I’m excited to stop being a fatso. Also, while I won't explicitly write this all the time, I sip room temperature water throughout the day. This applies to every day, unless otherwise noted.

I will do Day 1 tomorrow, hooray! I'm excited for MBD :D:p:)

Yay Japanese and their Morning Banana Diet!!!:D

:DI'm happy!
Before I started MBD I had been loosing wieght, about 4.5kgs over a period of 6 months, by walking my dog everyday. But the weight lose had slowed down to "0". So I was happy to find something that is so stresss free and easy to follow. A good "lifestyle" change.
Now, after only 2 weeks on the MBD I lost 3.2kgs!:D:D:D
I was really over weight and I still am, so I still have a long way to go to reach my goal weight. But as long as there are bananas in the store, I think I can continue with this new "lifestyle". (If there aren't any bananas maybe I will try apples until bananas come back)
Does anyone know how long it took the doctor, who was on the tv program in Japan featuring many kinds of diets, to loose 22kgs?

Didn't have any banana's the day after I joined :P. But I got some the next day and so I've officially been on this thing for two days now. Monday went okay. My banana wasn't exactly ripe, so bleh, and I ate after nine. I don't get home until 9 at the earliest on mondays, wednesdays, and thursdays due to my schedule, so I'm going to have to make an exception for that. With there being no time to eat lunch most days, I can't skip dinner. That would just make this the anorexic diet :D, that's no good!

Day two, today, went better. My banana was very tasty! I completely spaced on the water only thing, though, and had a coke with lunch. Also, I need to weigh myself sometime this week so I can keep a more official blog. Also, I had a snack after dinner. I'm a horrible dieter, though. In fact, I hate the idea of dieting, I think it's unhealthy. People should just eat healthy normally, none of this restrictions and cheating and everything else that goes with dieting.

We'll see how this works out for me. I'm the anti-dieter. I've never been on a diet, aside from about a week where I decided to count my calories, but even then, I was just counting, not restricting. Plus, this isn't really a diet. I did the same thing last spring. My schedule was so busy, I'd end up having to eat a granola bar for breakfast and then just eat dinner. This caused the side effect of me now feeling nauseous just thinking about the taste of granola bars. Hopefully that won't happen with bananas. Okay, this is getting kind of long, so I'll sign out.
