Ok so i'm on day 1 of my official restart so we can get through this together. I find when i first did CD i struggled a lot with cooking for the kids and for hubby - although they say that sugar free gum isn't allowed because the chewing stimulates a hunger response i found it invaluable when cooking. If you're chewing gum you can't eat! Spit it out as soon as you're finished and drink a glass of water to get rid of any hunger pangs (i never really suffer with them though) Also get your children/hubby to scrape all left overs straight down the toilet or into the bin & rinse all pans used to cook straight away (you don't have to wash em straight away but it helps to get rid of the yummy food smells)
If you find evenings the hardest then try to not have your first shake/soup until later in the day. Its now 6pm and i've only just had my second shake which gives me another one to have a bit later.
Keep yourself busy in the evenings - long hot bath, paint nails, sewing (even if you don't normally sew, it keeps your hands busy) come on here and go on the arcade.....anything to keep yourself occupied and if worst comes to worst, have an early night. You can't eat if you're sleeping, and it will help you through any withdrawal symptoms you may be having. Most importantly.....glug, glug and glug that water!!!
GOOD LUCK HUN!!
I just have to ignore the voices....
