Isn't it funny the situations/places that we associate with food? I try to view the cravings as a positive thing (not always easy!!) because they give you the opportunity to reflect on your foodie behaviour and to use LL as a learning experience rather than just as a quick fix!! I've used it as quick fix before and an really trying for an attitude check now. Anyway, stick with it, you're doing so well

awww chick well done for being strong, i feel as you do suddenly we realise that food sometimes becomes a big part of our lives and some of us start to live to eat not eat to live, i know that LL will change thinking and obviously we can use food to enjoy ourselves but then know and act in a way that it doesnt take over us, if that makes sense!! keep at it hunny bun xxxxxx

Hi Angie,
Good for you for staying strong. You know you can do it.
You should ask your LLC to help you figure out why you are 'missing' food. Cause you are getting your nutrition, and you shouldn't be hungry in ketosis, so take a look at what you are feeling, thinking, who you are with, what you are doing. Changing our relationship with food what LL promotes as making it different from other vlcd's.
I think my challenges are going to be when I get to the last stone after a long time, and then moving to maintenance. But hey I'll be so happy to get that far.

Hi Hun, sorry you're finding it tricky today. Chips probably knocked you out of ketosis which won't help. How about writing yourself a list of all your reasons for wanting to do this and the putting it somewhere that you keep seeing it all day. I'm making mine the screen saver on my phone then go and find yourself a few lovely non food treats to get you through the day. Good luck xx

Hi Angie,
Please so something for yourself to make it easier for you. Don't be in the room when your OH is having his food. I know meal times are a sharing time but it isn't doing you any good right now. You will get to a point where it won't bother you what anyone eats around you but when you are struggling remove yourself from the temptations and trigger foods.
You only had a few, so draw a line under it and move on. Its not a disaster, learn from it and change your actions so you won't be tempted next time. Go out of the room, do your nails (can't smell food over the polish), run a bath, get on here, go and brush your teeth (sounds silly but it works and only takes a few minutes). When you are tempted take a break from where you are or what you are doing to put a bit of space between you and the temptation.
Write down your short term goals, write down a non-food treat for each 1/2 stone lost. Have you got a favourite piece of clothing that is just a bit too tight to wear out? Try it on every week cause you will be wearing it soon and then it will get loose and move onto the next item.
You can do this, you need to distract yourself and not think about the f word!

You don't need to apologise, you havn't let anyone down. Most of us have our wobbles because this diet is HARD sometimes. Let's face it, if you were on Ww or SW you wouldn't be beating yourself up would you? Remember this is YOUR journey and nobody else's. So, sit yourself down, draw up a list of reasons why you want to do this. Then draw a line under today and comit to being 100% tomorrow fingers crossed for you Hun!!
