Even though I don't want to (until I taste it), I make myself have a half-spoonful of peanut butter before I leave for work. Supposedly you need some protein within an hour of waking up to kickstart your metabolism. I don't know if that's enough though, so I might switch to some meat or cheese instead.
Try doing a full spoon. :) Both the protein and nut fats would be good for you.
Meat and cheese are also an option, though. Or, if you can tolerate it, chocolate milk (which is used by athletes as a recovery drink, having a perfect balance of protein and carbs).
That could be...
Just as a point of reference: my FitBit also keeps track of an estimate of how many calories I've burned throughout the day, I'm guessing based on the exercise I've had (in the form of the steps I've taken) and an estimated basal metabolism keying off my weight. An hour ago or so, when I replied, with a half hour walk this morning, I'd already burned 1000 calories today.
Calculate that against how many calories you've consumed by 10am, and you'll see what I mean. :)
I feel like I now know how eating disorders start. I feel so strong and in control!
Heh. But, yeah. I think a lot of anorexia's mental disorder component is the idea of being in control of one's hunger and body to the point of privation.
Eventually my body will adjust to this and I'll stop losing, then I'll get depressed and eat...
Try to remember that this time is a temporary thing, only two months. You can hold out two months, right? Because once you have the bariatric surgery, everything is going to change. A lot. Not just how much you can eat, but what and when.
Consider this training for that, because once you have the surgery, there is no sliding back into the old habits (without incredible risk).
