Well, 2 weeks down on SS, 11 lbs lost, determination (or should that be bloodymindedness?) intact and going strong. But I still get sooooo hungry at times - no, not the I-really-fancy-that-chocolate-bar kind of hungry, but the stomach-growling, big-hole-in-tummy kind of hungry!
I have breakfast around 7 (shake, hot or cold), lunch around 12 (soup), half a shake mid-afternoon, soup for dinner and the other half of the shake in the evening. But some days my stomach is growling before lunch, and definitely growling before dinner - I thought our infamous friend ketosis was supposed to quell the hunger pains?
I keep reading of people who can't get all their packs down in a day, and wondering how they're not hungry? The soups may be gritty and boring (can only get mushroom or vegetable from my CDC here in Denmark... hmm...) but I am actually looking forward to them these days!
On a positive note, I spent all weekend cooking for family and friends and didn't actually find it difficult to smile benignly as they stuffed themselves while I sipped my soups and shakes!
And on an even more positive note - I GET TO EAT A LEMON BAR TODAY!!!! Yeaaaaahhhh! So the mid-afternoon and evening snack will be half a bar instead, can't wait!
