Hi, I am halfway through my second week. Enjoyed food so far and pleased with results (down nearly 10 pounds yay!). Today I feel really irritable. I am a grump! I am not usually like this (I hope). Anyone else experienced this?

Hmmm. Maybe a slice of wholemeal toast would make me feel better…

Step away from the toast! 😀
Oh am so sorry to hear this SCHNITZEL! I ve found that avoiding the carbs has generally made me less jittery and calmer.
Tho i do get irritable easily,maybe due to health probs..its horrible isnt it when you feel grumpy!
Are you feeling tense?
Maybe try a meditation or listening to a soothing visualisation..lots of stuff on ebay. Or watching something that will really make you laugh despite yrself! Or some favourite songs. Or going for a massage or reiki.
Sometimes i get tension just in my jaws as if my mouth wants to eat even tho my tum is ok. Crunching a stick of celery takes the tension out.
Well done on yr ten pound loss..isnt that wonderful to shed a large amount of weight so fast! Such a great start,keep up the good work! X

Resist if you can! Because it may not make you feel any better.

It’s the carbs trying to hang on – pesky little blighters.

Can you say to yourself you will wait till tomorrow to see if you REALLY want the toast?

Those are great tips thanks Yowzer. I do need to pay more attention to the mindfulness chapter. I chewed some gum and cleaned the kitchen. I have not eaten the toast. Yet. I am going out for a walk now!

I think the carbs are fighting back Ignorasusual. I am going to be move myself from the house until it passes 😁

Just updating to say I am nearing end of Week 4 and feel great! The irritability didn’t last long so if anyone else is feeling out of sorts just keep going because it gets better quickly.
