I Can Do This!
HELP! I am finding it so hard to stay away from food. Not just food. I keep wanting more of my packs, immediately after I have finished one. It seems like I am never satisfied and it's so hard at the moment. I don't understand why it should be like this. I must still be in ketosis as I haven't touched any real food. In which case I must be dealing with emotional hunger rather than physical hunger. I am tired as I have not been getting to bed early, but am waking up in the early hours. I am prowling the house and achieving nothing just trying to get away from the kitchen. I do have one more pack due today, but I am desperately trying to save it until 9pm so I have something to have later. I think of food or having another pack constantly. Can't go out as OH away and I have kids.
Is it just tiredness? Or could it be to do with the fact I am feeling pretty happy with my weight and size now? I have read about so many people sabotaging their diet as they approach goal weight. It can be almost as though they are actively preventing themselves from reaching goal and facing the real world of food. I do not want to do that. I DO want to get to goal and be a healthy weight. I still have two stone to lose - well, at least 1.5 stone to get to a healthy weight. I could achieve this in around two months if I stay 100% abstinent. It will take a lot longer if I have extra packs or eat (god forbid!).
I wish I could apply my CBT/TA and sort my head out, but I don't know where to start with this one. I must keep fighting it. It's a mental battle I WILL win.....
Any suggestions on why this is happening or how I can take control of this constant fight would be most welcome.
