Hello everyone, I am on day five and really struggling with the real food depravation. It amazes me how much food is talked about in daily conversation and on tv, even in stand-up comedy, but maybe I am just more sensitive about it. So far I have lost 4kgs and have been okay around cooking smells apart from fish and chip shops but I keep daydreaming about cheesy pizza even when I hardly ate it before. I don't feel hungry a such ie have a rumbling stomach, as I am not fantasizing about salads, but I am acutely aware of the psychological hole left by the absence of food. It makes me wonder what kind of life I had before as I am left with more free time, and must now watch films/read books/exist without munching on something. Can any of you advise on how to cope with the initial sense of psychological loss? Thanks and sorry if I am rambling.
