Today is Day 4 so I'm pleased to have made it this far. I've felt a bit crap and yesterday ended up going to bed and sleeping for a couple of hours in the afternoon as my head was pounding and I couldn't keep my eyes open. I very rarely sleep in the day unless I'm ill so that was alla bit strange.
Felt brighter this morning so headed off to the chemist to buy some ketostix and the good news is am now in ketosis so although far from home and dry and although I don't think the next few weeks will be easy this is the first milestone for me....... I did jump on the scales as well and they showed a 7lb 3/4oz loss - I know it's all water and not real weight loss but it's given me a big boost.
I'm off work this week and I'm so glad as I'm not sure how I would have managed if i'd had to go to work so I take my hats off to anyone who is going through the early stages and has to function normally.
Also cooked OH's dinner last night and will again today as although he doesn't mind doing it himself I know I need to be able to live around food whilst not stuffing it in my mouth.
At time of writing all on course helped enormously by dipping into the posts on here and reading everyone else's experiences. I am a food addict but have been clean for 4 days!!!!!
