Hi, oh poor you, don't give up!! That definitely won't work. It is early days, your body is adjusting. Having your packes earlier is I'm sure a good thing to keep your meatabolism ticking over as well as feeding your body more regularly. You have lost a significant amount of weight in a short time, remind yourself of that indisputable fact. It is working. Trust the process and stick with it. Consistency is the key. Don't weigh yourself so often if it is disheartening, trust the process and stick with it. Just keep saying that to yourself, retrain your brain [ I don't have one but I hear it helps] Your old habits and carb lust will want to pull you back onto the high sugar roller coaster to fat and flabby hell, give it a miss. Decline the ride and be good to yourself, give yourself time to change. What's the worst that can happen???? Food will always be there, it's not going to disappear from the supermarket shelves cos you aren't eating it for a while. Remember why you started this, what were your reasons? Write them down and focus on how you will feel when you get to goal and reassure yourself that this is what you want, you deserve to be happy and healthy. Eating will not help it will sabotage all your hard work so far. So you can eat if you want, as much or as little whatever you choose. But??? is that what you want??? Decide what you want, take control of your mind, decide on your plan and see it through.Try not to see it as deprivation, your packs are medicine of health and happiness, a magic potion of success and feeling great, mix them up in a nice cup, take your time with them, enjoy them and congratulate yourself for doing this, it's not easy, but you are giving yourself a gift, you are on the journey to achieving something that will make you very happy. I sometimes don't lose around my period , I have learnt [ kicking and screaming] to accept this, stick with it, keep going, and bingo ! a week or so later I lose weight again. It does work, don't doubt it. Give it another week and you will be feeling the love again !!!!
