Good morning! Feeling pretty good today I have to say.. had a pretty difficult evening yesterday but it was all in my head, I wasn't actually physically hungry though I could have eaten a horse- it was all habit & boredom... had to have a will of iron to get through it but of coarse I did... as I stand at the moment I really can see myself following this through to the bitten end.. God I hope so but it's up to me no one else can do this for me...
I actually only had 3 packets yesterday even though I am supposed to have 4 a day.. I don't know, I just didn't want the fourth one & to be honest I felt like I had cheated a bit by having the moouse, even though I hadn't cheated... strange isn't it??
I ended up having over 3 litres of water yesterday which wasn't great but I feel at least it was over the 'required' amount.
Had a bad night sleep wise, think it's a full moon (could be wrong) & that always effects my sleep patterns but then ended up sleeping till 10.45!!! Don't do that often I can tell you- DD is with her Daddy, even though it felt so strange not having her here, think that's why I slept so badly too... what strange & complex creatures we are!!!
Am now down 10.5lb on my scales at home, can't remember if my official weigh-in is tomorrow or Tuesday, hope it's tomorrow though cos otherwise there is something funny going on with my packs... am a few short, strange I know I haven't been going over any days... is mental confusion a part of this diet too???
Islandgirl- as far as I know you are allowed peppermint tea & any leaf herbal teas, just not the fruit ones or anything containing citric acid as they can effect ketosis big time... how are you getting on now?
Tracie- How's the weekend coming along for you? Bet you're doing brill!
Rachel- nice to see you here- well done on the previous loss, it's so nice to see other's successes, Jade is absolutely beautiful!!! It's a lovely name too, my DD's second name!!! Hope you're doing ok??
Geri- well done on the landmark of getting through 5 days...see nothing can stop you now!!!
Debz- wow another 4lb down!!! God I am so happy for you, can't wait to get there myself & see the weight falling off week by week... tell me does it get easier as time goes by? I mean I presume I'm in ketosis by now but still feel hungry every now & then... not like I am going to die or anything just hunger pangs... I thought these would pass???
Soraya- well done on getting back to start point again, it's a huge mental barrier to get through & maybe you did need that time out to re-evaluate what was going on.. I can totally see where you're coming from with the 'using the weight as a barrier' remark... I think that's what I've been doing too... already scared of possible attention I'll get when I do reach goal- how stupid is that???
Hope everyone else is doing OK? How's the weekend going???
