Well done on another day ladies! The hunger will pass, that I can promise you! As Laura said, find something else to occupy you. If you get hunger pangs, drink more water - it will help!

Hello peeps! I'm a Lighter Life July starter too. I started on July 3rd. In my first week I lost 15lbs! Soooo happy!

Looking forward to my 2nd weigh-in in 4 days time.

 

[melarnz]

hi guys!!!

im on day 4. im still feeling a bit hungry, but i can deal with that!! I have a pop in session today, im looking forward to seeing if i have lost anything.

The problem i'm having is the the 'mental' side of giving up food. i am weaning my 5 month old at the moment, and still having to cook for the 3 yr old and the other half.

I just keep trying to imagine myself running around with the kids and picturing myself thin and healthy!!

 

[Needs2losealot]

Melarnz

i know what you mean i have a 4 year old who i cook for around 5pm then my husband comes in at 11:30pm and i cook for him it is all mental but i know how great i feel when i wake up in the morning knowing iv done another day and got through it that feeling so out ways the feeling of how guilty you would feel if you ate i hate that feeling of shame and disgust.
STick with it mel you can do it just imagine how happy you will feel thiner.
Good luck on weigh in come back and let us know x x x
love sam x x x

 

[melarnz]

I have just got back from my pop in session. I have lost 8.5lbs!!!! and this is only my 4th day.....kinda takes the edge off the hunger ;-)

 

[katalena]

[melarnz]

hi all .....im on day 5 and still feeling hungry....whens it supposed to stop?

 

[peony]

Did they check whether you were in ketosis at your pop in? Usually once you are the hunger stops (with the occasional pang I find) You may just be on the brink, should deffo be in by the end of the first week. Keep it up honey, your pop in weigh in was brilliant.

The hunger pangs do subside, you will have heard it a hundred times but drink more water!

You will soon learn about psychological hunger at CBT.

Well done mel

good on you for sticking with it 8.5lbs is an amazing weightloss just imagine how different you will look in a few weeks time just keep those thoughts in your head and they will keep you strong.
I must admit i felt a hunger pain for 2 mins but it was because i was due a pack and like kat says water water water the flavors get me through i love st clements the best and i like making ice lollys out of it yum yum.
i am in ketosis ++++.

keep going mel x x x samx x x x

 

[melarnz]

I am really struggling today. I think I feel empty rather than hungry. I just had to feed my 3 yrs old, sausage mash and peas!! She left some....usually id be straight in there and it killed me to put it in the bin!! i also made fairy cakes with butter icing too (im practising for my little girls birthday) but again, its gutting that I cant taste it to see if it is okay.........im starting to see why i am fat lol.

Oh well - Im gonna keep at it, and Im sure the next weigh in will make it worth while.
