day 4 and in ketosis

[successismyonlyoption]

So starting day 4 and although still feeling a little intolerant of people, I personally am feeling good. No cravings no wishes to have food and am definitely in ketosis - as my OH kindly pointed it out this morning he could smell it on my breath (lol thanks love!).

Just tucking into my porridge have a good day all x

Well done on getting through the first few days....and the weight loss is worth the smelly breath lol

 

[This time its forever]

Well done and keep it up, as for the bad breath its nothing a mouth spray doesnt fix!

Hi

I'm on Day 3 of SS+ and am generally ok but had a couple slip ups and am feeling really crap about it


Yesterday I had a few spoons of rice and today I had some microwave popcorn I have a 5 year old daughter and she begged me for popcorn after her dinner as a treat. I gave it to her but couldn't resist temptation.


I'm really worried that at my WI on Friday I'll have lost no weight or like 2lbs. That'll break my heart


Finding it really hard to stay on track, not hungry though, just slipping up for no good reason.


This feeling sucks...

I think sometimes the eating part of our lives is merely an habitual action where we have no reason to eat but we do it like a smoker reaches out for a cigarette.

Here is what ive done I spoke to my OH when I started and I spoke to my older kids and explained what I was doing so it means they are all trying really hard to sort their own meals out until I really am certain that im in the flow of this diet. When its unavoidable then when your cooking or making food think of other things conciously try not to smell and certainly (well it helps me) dont lick your fingers etc..

Dont worry about what is past or you will find a reason not to carry on - just see it for what it is and continue xx

Hope it all goes ok for you x

Thank u I feel better today and trying to be more focused and positive. It just amazes me that even though I am desperately unhappy with my weight I am still messing up my progress?! Soooo frustrating!

This forum is a good tool to use though as its nice to speak to other people who are going through the same things

You are absolutely right. People keep asking me "aren't you hungry? " My answer is that no, I'm really not, but that wasn't the point anyway because I never ate b,ecause I was hungry. I ate because it was lunch time. Dinner time, snack time, because I was bored, because I felt a little Low, all kinds of reasons that were nothing to do with hunger. The biggest change isn't fighting hunger, it's breaking old bad habits like munching away as u sit watching tv. Breaking bad habits is the key, and in that way it's very much like how to successfully give up smoking

Catch you all later!

good luck dementia x

Totally agree mike thats why I think this diet is best for me - its the only way I can buy enough time to break the habits by removing conventional food from my diet completely
