I've been 'unofficially' refeeding for about 10 days. To cut a long story short, I've been doing 2 shakes a day and a very light meal at night, avoiding carbs. Pharmacy is ok with it, I lost 5lb the week before last and 2lb last week. It was either do it this way or fail completely, I was close to binge eating.
Anyway. I can't imagine a day will ever come where I'll want to tuck into fish and chips... I just can't go back to being 13 stone. The thought of a big plate of fatty, carbohydrate laden food makes me want to gip, seriously. I'm enjoying being the weight I am and would ideally like another half stone off but don't care if it takes me till Christmas to do it.
I've had the odd cube of Stilton lately, it's just enough because it's so strong, and it stopped me reaching for anything more dangerous. I've also had a slice or two of grilled Halloumi cheese, that's really tasty and with a salad it was really scrumptious. I'm finding that I need the taste of food rather than the volume, which is a good thing.
So back to the point, what 'treats' can you have to replace what you used to have? I used to love toast with half an inch of Lurpak, or toasted teacakes. And crisps, crisps and more crisps. But never want to go there again...
