Guys,Im craving bad food today.someone please tell me to cop.on.im on day 40 and I know if I cracked now id feel terrible tomorrow.
 
Hi Sarahc! im only on day 28 but i do have bad cravings days!! i just have to keep focused and remind myself of why im doing this!! look forward to what you're hoping to achieve and just how great you will look and feel once you've lost the weight, PLUS......if you cheat you're only cheating yourself and one day of following you're cravings could mean four days of hell cause you've come out of ketosis and possibly an extra 2/3 weeks on the lipotrim!! stay strong,and try to keep busy when you get the cravings!! tomorrow is another day and the cravings will melt away just like the weight will! :flowers:
 
Thanks Daisy!your post reminded me of exactly why im doing this.right i need to keep going and forget the craving.i owe u one.x
 
You're doing amazingly well so far Sarah, you've shown to yourself just how capable you are of not giving into temptation! You are strong, and can make it through today!
 
Anytime Sarah thats whats so great about this site!! Thats the spirt you needed to find, you go girl you know you can do it!!:superwoman:
 
Hi Sarah, how are you getting on? ive had a tough couple of days but hoping tomorrow is better!
 
Hey Daisy,i did a 10k run thingy today and to be honest i am extremely hungry.all i want to do is eat something.fingers crossed i resist.my oh is being very encouraging so that helps.How are you?x
 
10k!! wow well done you!! like i said, ive had a tough couple of days but still maintaining 100% tfr at the moment!! my OH isnt quite as supportive as yours, he ate a foot long hot dog and onions in front of me yesterday while i ate my flapjack, we had a day out at the seaside and as i drove home he ordered me to go via a macdonalds drive through and get him a meal and dessert which he ate in the confines of the car whilst i drove!!!! arrrrrrr!!! you can imagine the smell of that food right under my nose!! but i didnt even steal a chip so im proud of myself!! (even if im not talking to him at the moment!! lol)
 
If it makes u feel any better my oh keeps eating delicious food in front of me but there are times when i enjoy the smells.at the mo he's making a toasted cheese and onion and im so so tempted...but i wont.we can do this!
 
Wow, that's a relief. When I saw the thread title I though I was going to have to tell everyone about my urges to stand naked in front of the mirror at the top of the stairs.! Imagine how embarassing that would have been! :D


Forty plus days is a long time to be TFR so well done on that score and I think you're right Sarah that you'd be gutted if you slipped now. Both of you are doing well to resist when the food is dangling under your nose but stay strong and remind yourselves it is not forever. You are doing something for yourselves that far outweighs the food and the beauty is that once you've got to where you want to be then you CAN have food again.

Don't you get a feeling of achievement and feel really 'big' inside when you resist something that really is rubbing your face in it? I used to go to McDonalds for my wife just to give myself a challenge, to allow myself the achievement of resisting.

On the days where you get tempted or are having cravings remind yourself how you've managed to resist before. This time is no different and you are even closer to you goal than you were yesterday so you have more to lose and feel down about if you cave in.

Keep it going ladies, you are doing really well with the way the food is being flaunted in front of you - it's not very supportive or even considerate but do try to draw strength from how well you are doing.

Good luck.
 
Thank you for that much needed boost MrC! ive had another tough day today, cooked a roast dinner for the family and just couldnt resist eating the smallest piece of chicken breast but literally only a tiny bite!! could so easily have eaten the whole roast but i still didnt give in, its made me feel bad enough just having the slip up with the chicken so i know that anything more would just make me feel so low its not worth it!
Its weigh in day tomorrow and after finding out that the scales were faulty at the chemists last week im a bit nervous to know what they will say this week!! however, my clothes are starting to fall off me so thats a good sign!!
