Hey Emma. It's taken me about 2 weeks into the program to get out of the "don't eat so much" mindset of "dieting". Today at work I brought a kiwi, grapefruit, an apple, raspberries, grapes, a piece of low fat cheese, ff yogurt, rice, chili with beans, ff cottage cheese and some cracklin oat bran (hexb). I may or may not eat it all. Kind of depends on how I feel. (That list includes both my breakfast and my lunch.) When I get my food ready in the morning, I grab all my fruit/veg first (didn't have time this morning to cut up carrots). Then I fill my bag with free foods, then my hex's and finally syns. For some reason, I seem to grab the better stuff because by the time I get to my syns, my shopping bag is nearly packed and weighs a ton! Maybe it's just easier for me to trick my brain that way. When I get to work, everybody stares at my desk as I start to unpack everything. I get lots of comments like "hungry today?!" And some are just downright curious. I am losing weight and feeling good - and it's only been two weeks. My skin is clear, my nails are growing like crazy and I am generally in a GREAT mood. Such a change from a month ago. I have about 2.5 stone to lose. My advice, feed your body. It will love you back! Good luck and keep asking questions!! You aren't bothering anybody and everyone here is always happy to help. Not sure how long you've been on SW but it took me about a week to kind of get to the point where I don't have to keep looking at the lists - still do for syns.
