End of week 1 and I've lost 4.5kg in total. I should be pleased with that, but cantankerous me just can't be happy with much at all I'm afraid.
Struggling to get enough water in. Water and I have never been friends. Blah.
Craving carbs BIG time. Would love to eat hot chips and a pie and mash potato and cheesy corn chips. Oh and bread. How I'm missing bread. Gnocchi, roast pumpkin, risotto. *sigh*
Here I was thinking it would be chocolate and lollies I would crave, but nope. It's carbs.
And the social element of food. Was going to do something with the kids today, but they would all have to buy lunch and I get water. Boo hiss. Catch up with friends over coffee? Oh nope, can't do that. Delicious smelling food for my family and nothing for me.
I know it's only 4 weeks. I know I need to think of the end goal. I know I will and can do this. But I know I don't have to pretend its easy or fun or remotely tasty.
Today this sucks.
Have you tried putting the bars in the freezer ( only works for the chocolatey type ones). Makes them taste better and takes longer to eat them. I've also put diet jelly crystals in the vanilla shakes. Good Luck! xxx

ReplyDeleteHey you are doing great! Can you drink herbal tea, instead of coffee when you catch up with friends?
ReplyDeletecarbs are sugar so you are craving what you thought you might! Chin up ! ......also wondered do you receive counselling/support from the professionals involved during this 4 week prep?
