Step 1 Sole Source Struggling!

[amandaahb]

Ah man day 6 and really struggling today?
The first 3 days were a doddle but today is killing me! All I can smell shut inside my house is BBQ! I have drank over 3 litres of water and am still starving!
Does anyone give themselves a little treat after weigh in? I need motivation?

Hi I go between ss and ss plus when I'm struggling... Helps me a lot. Felt fantastic after day 7/8 though! Did cheat twice though in 2nd week and felt shocking these past few days getting back on it ss plus has made it so much easier. Hope that helps

For the first two months I didn't cheat at all. I found it was easier for me, mentally cutting everything out. Maybe have another shake or bar if you feel you need a little extra?

I'm the same the first 12 weeks on SS I didn't cheat then I has to do a week eating and I haven't been the same since I was constantly picking but back in the zone now properly and I will get to target by Xmas

Hi Hun we all have difficult days I'm on week 3 now and love it..

One thing I did find to curb the starvingness was 2 boiled eggs just to fill the gap.. Also if you have the chocolate shakes split the pack in half and make 2 hot chocolates one just before bed time then you won't feel as hungry and spreads the shakes out over the day.. The vanilla one I use as milk in my coffees and can make 3 or 4 milky coffees just to break the morning up till lunch time

If you don't like eggs.. Try a bit of skinless chicken.. It's all protein and shouldn't affect the ketosis I had chicken last week cos couldn't stomach soup and it was divine and still lost 5lb xx

Hi Amanda, I'm due my first weight in tonight! Fingers crossed for a fab result.....I have been so lucky because I really haven't been that hungry. My motivation is very high at the moment and I am completely determined. I did WW before and on WI night, if I had a good weigh in I'd allow myself some naughtiness that night and then get back on the plan the next day......with cambridge SS, we obviously aren't eating food so I think the only way for me to be successful is to stick to it 100%! I think if I started allowing myself a little bit here and there it would turn into more and then I'd give up! This is just another indication of my own personal issues with food that I need to work through over the next few months! My other half is SS+ and he is absolutely fine having some food in the evening -he hasn't even been tempted to have more chicken than he is allowed!

I am going to allow myself treats when I reach certain goals - but not food related treats! So, after 1 stone I'm going to get my hair cut. After 2 stone I'm getting my nails done, after three stone I'll get a lovely massage/body treatment at champneys.....that way I am losing weight but also improving my whole appearance! And when I reach goal?! I'm aspiring for some louboutins that I've had my eye on for YEARS!!!!!
