Hello Tara.
Today is my fourth day of SS. I am taking it one day at a time.
I keep wanting to eat, so I say to myself that I wont eat today, but maybe I will eat tommorow. I let myself think of all the things I will eat the next day. But, when I wake up in the morning, I just think of how good it feels to wake up empty and feeling lighter, instead of all bloated, with a nasty food hangover, beating myself up for not being able to stick to this fab diet.
I spent most of last night fantasing about what I was going to buy in tesco after I drop my son off at school this morning, lol. But, now I feel so good that I have another day under my belt that I am NOT going to ruin it. I want to wake up tommorow with the same feeling. I have my weigh in on firday which I am really looking forward to, as I have thrown my own scales away, so I can have a nice 'surprise'. I will probably start thinking about food later on, but I will just think, 'ok, I will eat tommorow' again.
I know that that approach doesnt work for some people, I may just be a bit bonkers, lol! But its helping me. That, and the fact I only keep a tenner in the house and have given my dad my cash and credit cards for safe keeping! If I want to eat, I have to drive the 5 mins to his house first! I figure it would gve me time to cool off!
Good luck.
