At the time they feel like the biggest thing on earth, but actually I found the longest hunger pangs only last about 10 mins and then pass! Its a bit like trying to give up smoking!
Just think, if you can keep this up by the end of May you could be up to 3 stone lighter. How will you feel sitting on the beach then?
BUT, if you don't keep it up, you could be even heavier than you are now by the end of May. We all know how when we feel like failures we start self destructive eating. Think how you'll feel sat on the beach then, regretting not sticking to LT!
You can do it.
Just keep swimming.
