Hey everyone, sorry to bring cheating up again, but having just had a rather terrible past week and a half, I thought it might be good to share my experiences, and learn what others think of them.
It all started after my first weigh in. Week 1 had gone fabulously with a grand loss of 11.5 lbs!. But instead of keeping up the good work, the devil inside of me had different plans, so I ended up celebrating with my worst enemy: my apetite!
Eating a half a peice of FRIED fish! But I had an excuse, it was my first soup, and it ended up down the drain because I just could NOT down it, and I didn't want to starve myself now did I? Spurred on by my mum I indulged, little did I know what I had begun.
I had crossed a line, food was no longer COMPLETELY off limits as it should have been. The next day I had a bit more, allbeit grilled, fish, a few days later I had a bit of chicken. All the time I told myself it was only a bit, and most probably even good for me, so when it came to weighing myself, I was really dissapointed to see a loss of not even 5 pounds. But hey a loss is a loss, I told myself, after all it was my TOTM too, and I'll just keep it clean from now.
But that didn' t happen either, the last couple of days, have been terrible. One spoon of rice, a tiny bit of chicken, a wee bit of lamb, a bite of a samosa!! Almost every day I've had a little bite of something, and it's left me feeling horrendous, both physically and emotionally.
I have spent the the last couple of days feeling sick, it's been hell trying to down my packs. Constant headaches, complete lack of concentration, have made me a not so happy bunny, more cranky bi***!
The guilt being the worst though, but from it I have realised it's not just a tiny bite... I'm not only kicking myself out of ketosis and slowing (or even reversing) my weight loss, I'm draining myself emotionally. It was much easier to think food was completely off- limits, and it helped to evaluate the way I see food so I can change the way I think and hopefully maintain the losses I do make!
So I am hoping to just completly stay away now. I'm gonna opt out of helping out at meal times, and busy myslef with other stuff. Hope I can go back to week 1 me!
Anyone else have a similar tough time?
