Don't give up now - most of the cravings are only in your head. As soon as you realise that you can address it and tell it to go away. If I fancy something I sit down, concentrate on my stomach and how hungry I am actually feeling. Usually I'm not, unless it's nearing shake time anyway. That's when I realised that these wants are my brain telling me it's bored and we usually associate food with comfort and boredom. Time to break that habit by making a drink or tea or something and doing something else and ignoring it. It will pass if you ignore it long enough. Keep busy and distracted until the cravings pass. Be strong and you'll feel even stronger after the temptation has passed and you didn't succumb to it.

Thank you, feeling better today but the night times are always where I struggle & fail. Hope you're doing well xx

Night times my tummy often growls at me but I just ignore it. I keep telling it "you are bored, not hungry so shut up". If needs be try brushing your teeth. I know that sounds random but it works as a psychological trigger that signals to your stomach that dinner time is over. It sometimes helps mine to settle.

Thanks! I'm just so complacent now that I don't think anything apart from my will power (if I still have any!) will get me through. I've lost nearly 7 stone now so I know a few tricks & trigger but they just don't seem to work anymore. My head just ignores everything and keeps telling me what I don't want to hear and I give in! Will keep trying and see what happens in Monday x

Just remember as long as you are still in the race you haven't finished.

Also maybe try downloading some free hypnosis aps to help with your confidence and self esteem. It may help improve your will power.

I have found them so helpful for many things, including preparing for surgery.

You're having surgery?

I had surgery about 5 weeks ago. I wanted to start this before but was told to wait until after so my body could heal first.

Hi guys...I know this isn't something everybody on hear likes to read about but I think it's helpful to know. So I've had my wedding weekend. At the wedding meal and breakfast the next day and drank alcohol. I have weighed myself this morning and gained 5lb. Not everybody would gain as much as that but just to show you all how bad the results of eating before refeeding can be. Hope nobody minds me talking food on here!xx

Aww I really did have a ball! Thanks! I've set a target date of 25th November to be my last TFR weigh in & then start refeeding. Fingers crossed. And for you too, how much are you hoping to lose up until the 6th dec?x

To be honest Nikki, I'd just like to be between 10-11 stone!! Preferably just under 11 stone which I think is do-able as I've still about 6 weeks left of TFR !! lol
Then re-feed for the 2 weeks! I'm hoping the refeed won't make me gain any weight! Be ideal if I could lose a few more pounds on the refeed lol xxx

If you stick to low fat, low carb foods then I would imagine you will continue to loose a few more pounds on refeed.
