Hi everyone, I’ve been skulking here since I started on 27th September, I’ve lost 7lbs and its not even a week! I would like to say I’m super pleased, but I want to lose 4.5 stone so 7lbs is drop in ocean and total seems such a long long way away.
I am trying to get my head around carbs and calories, having done the no count with WW it seems slightly confusing as I’ve never calorie or carb counted. I am currently using online recipes and from the 5.2 book. Haven’t got the new one yet. I am eating brekkie and tea only, this has not been very hard as I love shashouska and it is really filling so a few times a week, although I usually have an egg based breakfast.
I really hope to keep to this successfully and I am shocked that I have not really felt ill not eating sugar or bread. I have no cravings at all, very little hunger, its usually just boredom calling me to fridge, apart from nibble of coconut I’ve been super strict.
I do think, no I know, I will struggle never being able to have coffee and walnut cake again. I have absolutely no restraint and once I’ve broken through.and started eating poorly again I’m like a crack addict.
Any support or advice in coping techniques when you just need a coffee and walnut cake much appreciated. I would say, at the risk of over sharing, pmt cravings are really difficult to cope with.
