Hiya
You have been given such good advice so far on the post.....all I can add is that we are all in it together and not one of us can say we dont understand.
We have all experienced the headaches, the cold, the cravings, etc......but I can honestly say "hand on heart" it gets easier. My experience is that I had the hunger pangs for weeks on end, whereas most people it disappears as soon as they get into ketosis...but, I didnt care, I just wanted to be thinner and healthier so I was prepared for anything.
I grow my own fruit/veg and I have two large allotments and throughout the whole 11 weeks I have harvested and cooked food for my hubby...I just know that food doesnt figure in my life at the minute.
I had a goal in mind, I wanted to get there, and I just thought a few weeks of not eating was worth it.
I think what I am trying to say in a round about way is that this is hard, but if you focus on the negative you wont see the goal you have in mind. YOu need to get your head around the fact that this is a TFR plan, which means no food, so no point keep reminding yourself you cant eat, and that you are hungry...cause it wont change other than how you feel and you getting positive.
I am not being hard, I am just trying to get you to realise you can do this....I took it one week at a time, as I just thought at the beginning I couldnt do it..boy, am I so glad I did..I feel the best I have ever felt in my entire life...the feeling is euphoric..better than any bar of chocolate or meal! Seriously.....
I know it is ok for me to say now as I am on Wk 11, but I have been where you are and the torture you give yourself with all the thoughs is unbearable,,but the only way I got through it was deciding my motto was to be positive in everything and to look to the future...as it was in my hands only.
Sorry, a bit waffly, but I do hope you all support each other, (those that are finding it tough) and realise you can all get there! Sooner than you probably realise and you will all be singing and dancing in a few weeks time a good stone or more lighter.
Go for it girls, and be positive and keep your goal right at the forefront of your mind, not food! That will be there soon..
Take good care!!
