I'm on my 5th week of SS+ and have lost 18lb so far (weigh in tonight). However I'd say today has been the worst so far.
Yesterday I felt quite hungry - possibly not helped by the "massive" temper strop my 3 year old was throwing - which went on for several hours on and off. I had my 3rd sachet around 9pm - and I had porridge rather than a shake, cos i thought that eating (rather than drinking) might take the hunger pangs I was beginning to feel away.
Anyway 3yr olds strop developed into another tantrum and a disrupted evening so by the time I was in bed at 10.30 I was quite stressed out. At midnight we were woken by 3 yr old again and as i was trying to drop off I felt that real "empty stomach" feeling.
The night got worse :sigh: - at 1pm 3yr old threw up (spectacularly!) everywhere - almost certainly a reaction to the dreadful temper session earlier. Lots of cleaning, moved #1 daughter to spare room, etc. etc. Eventually dozed off around 3.30am (in my 6 yr old's bed ) - next to poorly child! Was woken at 4.30am and 7am!.
So today (my day off) I am at home with one poorly child and one bored 6yr old and I'm trying to sort stuff out for my holiday next week. However I am SO SO SO SO HUNGRY!!!!
I've already had 2 sachets (normally dont get through 2 till around 4ish). I am feeling that empty "pit of the stomach" feeling and feel like I'm desparately in need of food.
I feel like the stress of the past 12 hours has "used up" all my reserves of calories and "not feeling hungry" and I can feel my resolve weaken in the face of the contents of the kitchen cupboard.
Do you think its stress that is making me feel so physically hungry? I genuinely havent felt this before on CD - I get hungry, have half a sachet and move on for a couple of hours - but this feeling is constant.
I really dont want to crack because I'm getting weighed in 4 hours time but blimey this is a difficult day!!
Now i've written it all down I'll keep coming back to read it everytime I think about raiding the biscuit tin!
thanks for reading
