How was everyones day today? I had a tough one - for some reason I've been hungry ALL DAY! I managed to resist though and made an actually nice dinner of fish and (courgette) chips! No substitute for the real thing but at least it felt half normal! But yeah....felt so hungry today - any idea why?! Maybe I'm not drinking enough water...I find it so hard to drink it all through the day x
Yes I do have random hungry days and the water does help but I too struggle drinking it. I'm having my shakes mixed with 300ml cold water 300ml boiling water and a spoon of flavoured coffee at the min and not only does it feel really naughty like a big mocha it's also really filling plus you get nearly 400ml of your water allowance with each drink so over a litre every day just with your shakes. The veg water flavouring is also lovely like a cup a soup, I tried some of my sisters last week and ordered some myself but when it came last night it was 2 months out of date!

Yep same here.... i had the same problem but ive got myself a 500ml bottle and just target 1 per hour for 8 hours and its working... kind of... lol... the odd days i think i have 6 which is 3 litres but most of the time il try to do 8... i think as your stomach shrinks and your body gets used to this the hunger will die out a little.. ive struggled since yesterday as i had my in laws over and my mums family... hubys bday on Saturday but he is working so we threw him a party and tuesday nighy went to bed at like 3am once i finished cooking... so then Wednesday i had to watch everyone eat like 6 dif curries and rice etc etc and a massive bday cake... but i had shake and water... and today huby had fish and chips b4 work! My fave.. so just feel abit tired from all that cooking serving and cleaning and sad that i had to not eat lol... good choice i know.. but cant help how im feeling about it lol... anyways enough of me going on... good luck with ur weigh in xxx

Wasanifu I completely agree with cstattygirl. Yes it would have been nice for someone to notice but you know yourself that this is for you not them and you've already lost over 2 stone and managed to resist the emotional eating - I reckon you're doing way better than you think. Go make plans with some friends or (nice) family members you haven't seen for a while so they make a fuss of you instead!!
Well done cstattygirl on your 1st weigh in that's fab!!!

You can do it. this diet is ridiculous!!! I've found that instead of saying to myself "I can't eat that", saying "I don't WANT to eat that" helps. It is a difficult diet - no doubt - but you can do it xxx

Oooh I had a week last week. As well as the incident on Monday we had to have our pet put to sleep on Thursday. As well as I tried I couldn't stop the emotional eating for that one. Chinese was his favourite (He was a pet rat and used to beg for prawn crackers when we had one!) and although I had 2 mini spring rolls and 2 crispy chicken rolls (baadd!) I had Chicken and Mushroom as my main dish with no rice - which was still bad but better than I could have been.
Friday was my department head's leaving do. I really liked the bloke and he's moving up near my parents so wanted to make sure I got my name in if he ever needs anyone! Sounds stupid, but stranger things have happened I suppose. I had my coke zero and then he bought me a bottle of cider, then my big boss bought me a bottle too and someone else bought me some whiskey. So I bought everyone some chips and had to have a few as I felt really really dizzy.
So weigh in on Saturday meant I gained a pound! All things considered though.
Today Maggie (one of our other rats) went to the vets after chewing open a wound on her shoulder from surgery a week ago. The Vet stapled it together and less than an hour from getting home she'd got stuck trying to chew out a staple. She'd got it wedged at the bottom of her teeth (and rat teeth are long) and it was scary and a heck of a job to get it off. So I ate again emotionally today.
Line drawn under it and hope like hell this week is better than last one! Hope all of your weeks have been better!

I feel terrible...I just cheated...I ate a block of halloumi! I feel crap now - I dont know what came over me! I hope it doesnt effect my weigh in too much. Ugh.
Thanks cstatty... yeah shes ok not feeling great but just a bug... and don't worry it shouldn't make much difference... but have few cups of green tea will help flush it out... when is your weigh in.... im hoping 4lb next week which will take me to 2st in 6 weeks... really hope i get 4lb :thumbup:

MrsMya you've had quite a week well done for sticking to your diet I'm very impressed. Glad your daughter is okay.
I've just been on my post (day 10 of Cambridge and looking for buddies) saying that I've been starving these last few days but I had a lunch and dinner out last week so guess I'm getting back into ketosis. The veg flavoured water has helped a little and having my shakes hot has definitely helped but I've been tempted by things I wouldn't normally enjoy that much - my worst was mulled wine with some work colleagues, I managed to resist but only just!

I was told Lemsip drinks no (citric acid!) - but cold and flu tablets yes. You could always have a shake hot if you fancied the warm drinks.
See how you go but you might need to have a bit of food just to help your body fight it. I had a bad cold that knocked me for 6 though managed to stick to it - just took me a little longer to get over it I think.
