I'm not a diary person. I get so much from reading everyone else's and have highjacked a fair few but the time has come to bite the bullet. I need to 'diary' to chart this sudden development!
I've run into a problem and I wonder if anyone has experienced similar. Chatted about it to my 'work-support-group' (wonderful words those) today which helped enormously but briefly. I have a history of low selenium levels. The only way I know about it are the onset of feelings of anxiety and experiencing mild panic antics. "Mild/panic/and attack" is me being brave as there is no such thing, as any of you who have experienced these, will know. Anyway, they are looming for me and I think it's my selenium levels after such a fast and steady weight loss. So today, after about five days of steadily worsening episodes, I've added the chicken (100 g) and the 200 grams of veggies (broccoli). I had this today, first solid food in 9 weeks to the day. Feel stuffed, a bit of a failure but the alternative is much worse. :break_diet:What is good is that I haven't gone berserk but I am concerned re the effect on my scales. But frankly, if it's a choice between adding food or suffering a panic attack...well... no choice really.
I will weigh tomorrow as I can't help myself and log it here. It's a bit sad as I'm at my lowest from this morning but.... Just wanted to share this with you all and as I'm now in unchartered territory,
I'm going to log what I eat here and the resulting losses (or lack thereof). I'm not happy, as those of you who have heard my worries about adding food will understand. I feel absolutely stuffed and its two hours since I ate, but I also feel I had no choice. I'm going to add the same each day until next monday. It's hopefully a way to bump up my selenium. I've also bought some sunflower seeds, which are high in selenium. I'm going to take a teasp. each morning. I don't know if technically this means I'm not following the VLCD, or whether it's just like a refeeding week. That's how I'm trying to see it. I want to see how my body (and more importantly, my mind) copes! :sigh:
100 gs chicken
200 gs broccoli
1 teasp. sunflower seeds
2 squares of 85% dark chocolate (I know, nurse recommended, tasted horrid)!
