Hi guys,
just need to sound off a bit today, I'm on day 4, its by far the worst day so far. I feel like eating everything in sight, and today thats a lot. We are having a little tea party for our nephews birthday. Being I'm a sugarholic, the sweets, chocolate, crisps and cakes on the buffet table are driving me insane. I keep thinking it won't hurt just to have one bite, but not caved in so far, and I'm not going to either. I have done this once before for 3 weeks but did cheat with the odd piece of chicken here and there (still managed to lose 1.9st), this time though its got to be 100%.
I was really tired and down earlier but had a cup of black tea with tablet sweetners and the caffine seems to have the desired effect, I've picked up a bit now. I can't wait for the energy burst to start and last time that was on the 5th day, so hoping tomorrow will be that day for me, especially due to the fact I'm back in work then!
The mere thought right now that I can not eat, or socialise properley for 5-6 weeks seems unbearable, but I hope work will actually help me keep my mind occupied. I have planned this since the New Year and took Thurs/Fri off work because I knew how irritable and tired I would be.:sigh:
I hope to lose 2-3 stone in 5-6 weeks but this time make sure I re-feed properley on Protien foods rather than Carbs. I aim to eat just meat/Poultry for the first week at dinner time, but thats then, I gotta get there first.
In all honesty I feel much better having reminded myself of the issues and glad to have gotten that off my chest, just looked through a few old photos as well, now theres some motivation!
Good luck everyone!
Pete
