ooh tootsie, I felt weird yesturday but nothing compared to what you describe. Perhaps you should give your councellor a ring to see if she can shed any light or reassure you of your symptoms are normal, failing that perhaps have a word with your GP.
I hope you feel better today, we are both on day 6 and already is a fantastic achievement - I am literally buzzing today, despite not sleeping to well.
When do you go for your next weigh in - is it tomorrow like me?

Hi Tootsie,
I am a student Doctor and I'm sure we had a lecture once about diabetes and the grains of sand in the eyes effect cos of the massive changes in blood sugar?
Not that I think you have diabetes but obviously even somebody on LL without Diabetes would experiance a massive change in blood sugar levels...Ill try and find the notes for you!
Re spaced out feeling I def had this on my first week before xmas.
I was driving and getting very anxious about things that dont usually bother me and having really bad road rage too! lol
I also had the strange feeling of something crawling round inside my head!
Hope you feel better!

Hi Skinny
I feel so much better today, still a bit spaced out and tired as not sleeping very well. I can't believe I have got to day six I am so proud of myself. My hubby had a fit of the giggles this morning, I was making my daughter some toast with jam and Peanut Butter, cut the crusts off (can't believe I still do that for her, she is nearly 10) and licked my finger out of habit, I realised what I had done straight away so grabbed a tea towell and wiped my tounge with it!!!!!!!! We had such a laugh.
My first weekly weigh is tomorrow, very excited about getting some bars and water flavourings, I need to chew!!!!
I had a stop in after 2 days and lost 6lbs so hopefully I will have lost a couple more. i am not weighing myself at home as i get really down if the scales haven't moved.
Hey Pixie, thanks for the advice, I do feel much better today, I think!!!
The ketone sticks I have at home also have blood sugar indicator on it and at the moment I am fine. I will keep an eye on it though after what you have said.
the notes would be great, thank you so much. I have not had the carwling yet but have had every other symptom, especially the being freezing cold one so no doubt that will come.
Toots xx.

I did exactly the same thing with my son's dinner yesturday, but just stopped myself in time and then rubbed my tongue like I had just consumed poison!!!
Congratulations for getting to day 6, I am so proud of myself I never thought I would last a day and just hope the scales reward my abstinence with a great loss this week. I only lost 2lbs at the drop in and was so gutted (although I realise it was still a good loss in 2 days) others had lost so much more, it was TOTM though and so that would've affected things, also I was not in ketosis - so by now surely I must be, haven't got any test sticks at home so can't check.
I can hardly wait until weigh in I am so excited about seeing the other girls we have a really good group and have bonded really well already.
One thing I have noticed though, is that I am starting to spend more time on myself and have been rewarding myself each day with a new bubble bath or body scrub and spending an hour before bed socking in the bath, and applying all sorts of creams, oils and lotions. Before LL I would fall into bed after perhaps a quick shower having drunken and eaten too much, feeling groggy and bloated.
My hubby says he has noticed I have a much more positive outlook on things, where I was really depressed before.
I am finally getting there.....

I think the positive outlook is because we have finally decided to do something about the way we were. I constanly find excuses as to why I do or don't do something instead of just telling myself to get on with it.
I am in a really good frame of mind too (now i feel better). Long may it last, thats what I say!!
Don't worry about the 2lbs, imagine if you were on any other diet, a 2llb loss in week, you would be jumping for joy. I should imagine you are in ketosis now so bring on tomorrow.
I look forward to your post after your weigh in, you will post wont you??

Day 2
Still fagless ....
I had terrrible night last night - insomnia!!! Woke up late this morning but felt ok til about midday & now I am FREEZING ...
I've got to work til 8pm as Warehouse text to say he's not coming in as he's not slept well , so as management I have to deal with it!
I've had 2 packs, I'm feeling fine. Lots of weeing, drank loads must've done 3.5 L already so I'm fine with that.
Feel bit hungry but nothing major that the water can't deal with
I'm also starting to feel tired, which means I might get to sleep but 11 tonight at the latest after nice long soak in bath.

Good for you!!
I really hope you do this I am so pleased for you.
Did you speak to your LLC re giving up the ciggies as well as doing the diet?
Did she offer any advice??
I really think it is amazing but you will feel so much better in the long term. I would never dream of picking a cigarette up again - quite bizarre as I actually did enjoy smoking before.
Anytime you feel like lapsing - come on here and get support - this site and the people on are amazing and the support is fantastic.

thanks!!!
I emailed & text her - she was fine and told me both were as important as the other & was impressed I'd made decision to do them at the same time basically.
I was only worried really as at the class she stressed that she didnt want any time wasters in the group, which I felt she thought I maybe as I had not started on the Friday as we'd all said we would.
She's really nice lady though - and was most understanding... I'm treating any loss this Thu eve as my pop in loss, then next Thu will be proper 1 week into programme...
Well thats the plan - anyway lol

SNAP
Day One for me - 3.5 L in and several sprints to the little boys room - got a 1.5 hour drive to Sheffield to contemplate - have actually looked at where the services are on the motorway as I am that worried about 'accidents' and not of the motoring kind
Not tired though - all that adreneline from nearly not getting to the loo in time - i had to dasjh out of a teleconference twice - and I was chairing it.
My how they laughed - unsupportive sods!!!
