Bored of the same 'food'

[Mia]

Well, I am on day 28 and have been 100% TS for 25 of those. Had a bowl of cornflakes on day 3

Anyway, I took a Thai Chicken soup to work for my lunch today and I just couldn't stomach it. I was heaving looking at it, smelling it and tasting it. I am totally bored of the same stuff day in day out.

Don't get me wrong, I won't cheat but does anyone else get this feeling? I know I will get over it in a few days, I just feel like gagging every time I think about an Exante meal. I am trying to sip a hot vanilla at the moment which is ok but still got this sickly feeling in my stomach.

Sorry for the rant but needed to spout off

Thai is my favourite..

This is how VLCD are Mia

Don't get me wrong, I won't cheat
good to hear this.... lol

but does anyone else get this feeling? I know I will get over it in a few days, I just feel like gagging every time I think about an Exante meal. I am trying to sip a hot vanilla at the moment which is ok but still got this sickly feeling in my stomach.

don't think about it just drink it, u have weigh in on wednesday x

Sorry for the rant but needed to spout off

i understand but no more ranting my lovely..... THINK SLIM.!!

shanny's few words back for you Mia lol lol xx

 

[Mia]

I had to rant Shanny, I am soooooo bored with it.

No, definately won't cheat, it's just not worth it now. As soon as I put that one tiny bit of food into my mouth it's the beginning of the end for me. So, nope - won't do it.

Just wanted to know if anyone else feels/felt like this at any point?

Not looking forward to WI on Wednesday, don't think I'll have lost a lot at all

 

[*Shanny*]

lol bless ya... any loss is a good loss remember

now if u said you had 'gained' that's a different thing !!

im sure you will feel better about the products soon x

Have you had your add a meal week yet? Might be worth going that for a week to give yourself abit of variety

 

[Mia]

No I haven't. Can't do it, I need to stay TS for another 5 weeks.

I feel the same, i had a choc shake today and it smelt like wet cardboard, arghh. I have done 30 days and keep thinking i can't do another day but i know i will not get losses on a 'normal' diet so keep at it. Keep strong it's worth it.

 

[Terri22]

Why? I've just had one last week and still lost 5lb, when I was on Cambridge I found that every now and again I would feel like that, I would have my add a meal week and I would feel soo much better and it wouldn't affect the loss at all, infact sometimes it would kick start it again.

Becasue I prefer not to have food at all. That is why I follow VLCD's - I would rather food was out of the equation altogether. Once I have food - that's me finished

What we used to say on the Lipotrim forum was not to think of the shakes etc as food but as "Weight loss Medicine" - somehow it seemed to make things a bit better at times like this.

Could you not try to change the flavours slightly - some VLCD's dont allow this but Exante seems to be much more free with this kind of thing - adding some coffee to the chocolate and vanilla shakes, making the chocolate shake with mint tea rather than just water etc. It might help a little bit.

Keep at it - you will do brill at weigh in xx

Totally sympathise, im a bit the same just now, as mch as i love all the shakes im a bit bored. Ordered bumper pack for a bit variety again. Im with you on staying TS too tho, totally get that, cos the minute i reintroduce food i start making the wrong choices, at least if we have no choice we know we cant go wrong eh. Ive had a few planned meals and nights out and to be honest its just not been worth it, yo-yoing in and out of ketosis, craving junk food etc so i think i'd struggle with "add a meal". Keep it up tho Mia....your doing fab xx

I can understand that feeling as its easy for one thing to lead to another but I really think you should consider doing an add a meal for a couple of reasons
1- You need the extra nutrition every now and again and it will certainly give your metabolism a kick
2- How will you cope with maintenence if you dont allow yourself to relearn eating properly? I dont want that to come over as harsh but part of the reason for aam is to help you to learn a bit of control with real food again.
The thought of eating again can be very scary- I know I have been there and had a mini breakdown on my Birthday in 2008 because I had decided to go for a chinese and have a night off (1st deviation from plan in 3 months) and then started bottling it the morning of the day and spent it in tears thinking how much damage it would do! My Mum and DH talked me round and I went and enjoyed every bit but the bit that I really remember is going to the toilet and seeing myself in the mirror and realising that one meal wouldnt make me regain the 4st I had lost and that once in maintenence I would have a life and sometimes have a meal out so needed to learn to enjoy it and then back to plan, I got back on the next day and lost another 3 1/2 stone with no problems (unfortunately I then got pregnant with twins and my eating habits went back to the old way hence me being here again lol)

Sorry if I have said anything out of line I honestly am trying to help rather than lecture but know that in written word what Im trying to say doesnt always come across in the way I actually mean it

Obviously this is your journey and you need to do it the way you feel best just wanted to give you a different view x
