The 5DPT: Anxious, Excited, Weird!

(Quotes are left as written for your enjoyment!)

This week our Neighbor kungfoosally "Beth" is doing the 5 Day Pouch Test. She writes, "i had no idea i had become such a grazer. not even 5pm on day 1 of my 5dpt and i am craving everything under the sun. i have this weeeeird headache that is so strange it is almost enjoyable (whaaat!?). i have pretty much realized i am used to having some sort of food within arms reach at all time. usually chocolate of some sort. a lot of it was usually good food, healthy, just all over the place. in small amounts... but within an hour i'd be eating more. i was eating , as i said, a LOT of chocolate, soy crisps, yogurt, popcorn, baked fries in the oven, ... not bad stuff... but certainly not focusing on protien and for SURE way way too often. i feel like eating a car right now! wow wow wow this has truly opened my eyeballs. i hope i can make it through the night, i am feeling SO tired, headachey, almost dizzy. i've had a can of cream of chicken soup today and also a total of 1.5 cups of the pumpkin/sausage soup." i am not HUNGRY in the least... but boy am i craving and just feeling achey and wanty. thinking bout that half of an orange idea."

By Day 3 she was convinced doing the 5DPT is a good thing: "if this is only a reminder to myself when in the future i may feel like i broke something. Today.. day 3... i am TOTALLY FULL from 1... count it ONE EGG!!! how awesome this feeling is!!! i would go outside and do cartwheels but it IS SNOWING. spring where are you!?"

ps. this works this works this 5dpt reeeeaallly works! ( said like sally fields)"

And yesterday, on her Day 5 she reports, "day 5. i feel sooo good. it has been sooo amazing going into stores or gas stations without wanting to "get a little something" to snack on. i cant believe how much of a habit that was! if i went to the mall, in to pay for gas.. whatever, i was always looking for a little something. a dove bar.. a little bag of chips... something to just... i dont know... make me feel like crap! i've saved money, too!"
