When does it start to get easier? I want food!

[OrangeLavenders]

Crap food to be precise. I've lost 7 pounds in 6 weeks. I started off at 12 stone. I am now 11 stone 6 as of tonight.

But I'm miserable. Eating balanced and healthy, in calorie deficit.

But I miss eating crap. KFC. Other chicken places. Cookies. Cakes. The lot.

I am sticking to it through misery but I'm thinking maybe I'll just be happier fat? Or will this feeling pass me by if I hold on?

I am not stopping this new 'way of life' by the way. But I will if I feel the same in 8 weeks for example.

Tbingz are just better eating crap I think! Semi lighthearted.

I'm not an emotional eater either so I don't know what the issue is. For example if I'm stressed or upset, I do not eat at all really. And that's when I was eating terribly too.

KFC is firmly on my mind tonight. But a side salad and chicken it is

Are you having "cheat meals"? Cant you have a KFC tonight and eat healthy the rest of the week? Denying yourself all of your favourite foods long term is going to lead to misery

Well I could but then I find I want them more than just a 'cheat meal' so it's even worse

Just have KFC then ‘budget’ fewer calories over the next few days.

Well done that’s amazing.

For what it’s worth, I do think you can train your taste buds. Stick with it and (hopefully) eventually you’ll go off junk food. I used to love Haribo, crappy milk chocolate, donuts etc when I was a kid. Now I genuinely don’t remember why. It has no appeal.

Just have what you want from KFC it won't hurt its just one meal.
I Lost 7 stone with a mind set that if I really wanted something I'd have it, not saying have crap every day because you are wanting it, obviously that won't work.

Get a KFC but get not a burger - you don't need the bread to get the KFC taste. Don't get a large meal either. You'll eat more crap if you don't satisfy your craving.

Ken I've never had a KFC burger I get chicken and chips! Devine.

I'm cooking myself a Slimming World carbonara so hopefully that'll ease things. It smells lovely, I'm not on slimming World but their dishes handy

It's awful when you can't see past cravings. It's like I'll forever be missing all these yummy treats and I'm not sure what makes me happier... Being thin or eating whatever I fancy. At the moment it looks to be the former

the first few weeks are hard and then you won't want it!
