Hi Acom
Yes, this seems to be the norm for a lot of people. I had a little blip in my 3rd week...and to tell you the truth it wasnt nice and I didnt enjoy the horrid feelings of total failure.
Just think how you are feeling now and how much weight you have lost to date! You keep going as you are and that will just about double in another 4 weeks...if you go and binge, well, you could be back to square one. NOt that you will put masses of weight on, BUT, this could be the slippery slope for you and you could end up just giving up LT..now, that would be sad and a waste of your effort the past few weeks.
Like Chelly said, think of the reasons why you are doing LT? What drove you to LT in the first place? You must have thought about it and knew it was quite a difficult diet with no food whatsoever......just think, if you carry on and be 100% committed, you will be at your goal in no time at all.
All that Chelly has mentioned will help you.....but just try and be positive and also remember food isnt out of your life forever. Think of this time as a food holiday and enjoy not having to worry about what to eat.
I do hope you dont give in and you really remain strong. The feelings of getting fit/healthy and thinner is next to none and it makes up for the weeks of not eating!!!!
Also, look at other people's tickers and see how much they have lost...it can be done! Plus, look at the inspirational slide show! Truely inspirational and that could be you soon.
Take care
