Day 5
No reply by anyone, I see even if this sub seems to increase activity on social forums this one is immune to its spell. Oh well
Today was the first day I've decided to put this sub to a real test and take a long walk (10 km) around the town. I don't want to put myself into any social situations just yet, there will be more than plenty occasions for than in October. I think small steps are better for now. As Confucius said: "The man who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones.”
Anyhow I wanted to test both my and people's reactions. The results were as I would expect from sub designed to be used for a couple of months - noticeable not not major. To be honest I don't think I've noticed any change in people's reaction, but mainly in my perception. I was much more optimistic and I was noticing smiles while disregarding sad faces and looks down (before opposite would be true). There were no increased eye contact though, no hungry looks by girls or other things I was reading in people's testimonies. Still I've noticed I was quite optimistic and naturally smiling, so that's certainly huge progress all by itself
On other fronts everything seems good as well. I'm able to communicate with my parents very well, same goes with my friends on Facebook and otherwise. The only problem is I still seem to have quite a lot of resistance, I think I've gained at least a pound during this week and if it doesn't stop I'll lose all the progress I had in losing my weight this summer.
