Thanks everyone

The first two days were the worst. I was sooooo hungry. But day three wasn't too bad - I felt satisfied (if not full lol) with what I ate and yesterday was fine. And the headaches have stopped now.

I've had odd moments when I've closed my eyes and imagined biting into a bacon and egg baguette lol. Oh it tasted so good

Oh and hubby caught me smelling the wrapper of little ones choccie bar yesterday Hey! It worked - it smelled good and took the edge off the craving.

So on to day five. Oh and as of this morning I've lost 5lbs so far!

Can i just ask out of curiosity... do you have to weigh and measure all your food?

Jo xx

 

[slimmerkay]

Jo - no I wasn't told to measure or weigh food. It was just on the list as "small" amount of or "small potato" or "a portion of".

I've just used my own judgement.

I made what I thought was a small portion of rice and there was far too much for what I KNOW I should have right now. But even so what I made was HALF what I used to eat

 

[dottychic]

Mine says 2 oz of meat!! Hardly worth the effort! I think I might try the milk diet for the first week at least X

 

[Grace]

haha I don't think I'd stand a chance of eating 2oz of meat at the minute!

I used to eat a 12/15oz steak easy-peasy, I LOVE meat!

 

[slimmerkay]

Well into Day 7. Gosh the time is flying by!

It is no longer a hardship to eat the little I am eating and I'm so pleased about that lol. Also the urges to cheat are getting fewer and further apart.

Getting enough variety in my menus is becoming a problem but it's not for much longer now.
