Struggling on day one..

I'm not hungry, but I want food so badly!! After quitting CD last week and stocking up on healthy food to calorie count instead, there's food everywhere and I just want to eat it! I don't even want junk food or take away, just things like egg on toast I would kill for right now!! I can't bring myself to throw all the food in the bin, it cost me so much money.

I think there's the whole feeling of "It doesn't matter if I blow it, because it's only day one and I can start fresh tomorrow, and I'm not in ketosis yet anyway..."

I need to find some strength and willpower, I haven't caved and I really hope I don't but it's so hard :(

Help?

Isn't this what u done last week ?? U need to make a decision about whether u really wanna do it and stick to it xx I think u can do it this time just be strong

 
be strong you can do it, I had an awful time yest on my first day between 4-8 and I was so moody. I went for a bike ride and cleared my head and felt much better. I also stuck a pic on my fridge of kelly brooke to look at. remember why you are doing it and think of how annoyed you would be if you caved! I just made a slushy with my drink at 4 as was feeling a little awfull and had double to amount of normal and struggled to drink it all buts its really filled me up xxx

I do want to do it, it's just difficult that's all. I'm having a coffee now and then will have my third shake at 6. I have four shakes a day cause I'm on SS+ so just trying to tell myself I still have two shakes left to look forward to!! Just need to learn to gain control again xx

It's silly cause I'm not hungry really, just feel a bit tired, but it's the fact I'm in such a habit of eating food and always snacking in the evenings that I feel lost now!! I've still got two shakes left, so just trying to look forward to them and keep strong! xxx

I'm doing my best! Did you see the photo of my leg bursting through my work trousers? That's enough to make me realise how drastic my weight gain has got and how I need to make a change now!! x

People have told me that after a few days my cravings will be gone and I won't want junk food, and I really hope that's true. I think it is right that I just have the taste for junk now because I'm in such a rut of eating it all the time. I need to break these bad habits once and for all!

Thursday evenings are hard for me cause the mother in law has my son, and me and my OH just chill and watch tv and finally have the chance to cwtch up and spend time together, and usually food is thrown in the mix too! And I wish I could just have food with him and not be grumpy and ending up in bed early through hunger :( x

I don't think I'd cope on just 3 shakes a day! That's why I chose SS+ just to have an extra one lol. I have more willpower today than I have in a while, I actually feel like I WANT to do it this time, and not mess it up. I hope I can get through this first week and then it'll all be plain sailing! x

i understand how tempting things are otherwise i wouldnt be 21stone lol after having my daughter my weigh went from 16 to 21 as i just sat in every night munching on crap today i was really struggaling so at around half 4 i grilled some fish and had couple mouthfulls of that just to keep me going just keep your mind focused on the first weigh in thats what im doing x
 
It's strange cause usually people tend to eat more during the winter and crap weather, and then eat less and look after themselves when the weather gets nice during summer.. But I'm the complete opposite!! I always manage to diet really well at winter and have so much willpower, and then when the weather gets sunny and hot I want food! It's stupid.

I've decided I'm gonna have my last shake at 8pm and watch a program me and my OH are waiting for, then head off to bed at 8:30 just to get an early night and get day 1 over with!
