Ok, Day 4!
Didn't have anything until
2pm Caffe Latte Shake
4pm egg mayo with salad leaves
8pm tuna mayo with salad leaves
There's something very virtuous about eating salad in December! LOL
11pm Chocolate shake (as bedtime hot choc - didn't need it but didn't want to miss 2nd shake).

I know this wasn't brilliant, but I'm just not hungry. I know ketosis does this (I don't know if I'm in ketosis as I haven't tested), but how do you get the balance between "yippee I'm not hungry so I won't eat" and having enough of the right stuff to ward off the body's starvation response? Is it enough to just have a little bit of something, 1 egg maybe or 1 slice of chicken breast? What about veggies? I'm used to using them to fill me up, but what if I'm simply not "empty"?

Days 5 and 6
Not been on cos I've been poorly (ah!) but still on plan! Off to pharmacy today for new supplies, and weigh in tomorrow!

I'll stop posting on this thread now as there's several threads going on CS, but it was useful the first few days, I think (for me if no-one else LOL).

Oh it was one of those mornings. Had to convince children to go to school. Had to then drive over to mum's again as she is poorly, and she was in grumpy mode. Had to take her to see the "Chest Nurse", who upset her by saying she should be on oxygen at home (she has COPD) - and probably the first time any of the medical bods have explained to her in no uncertain terms that the illness is progressive and that her stopping smoking 5 years ago just means she is still alive now.
Went to the pharmacy in her village where they sell CS, bought some supplies but was told they still didn't have scales! Took her to the Post Office which was packed full (turned out she only wanted a couple of stamps, and I had some in my purse). Got back to her cottage, lots of rain and puddles and she was struggling physically and emotionally by this stage, so I reversed the car to be as close to her gate as possible...and pranged it on the gatepost.
Parked up across the drive, assessed the damaged, swore a lot, phoned the body shop, went into her house, where she was wheezing her way to making me an egg butty - 2 doorstops of proper white bread with butter and a lovely deep fried egg. I ate it, of course.
BUT... normally on a diet that would be that, into full self-pity-what's-the-point-of-even -trying-I'll-always-be-fat mindset. But I'm not, I'm back on plan again, with my evening meal of chicken breast and broccoli planned for a little later. So in a way I'm pretty pleased with today.
S.x
