@daymanchampionofthesun if the urge is that strong, how about a low carb pizza?
I’m having one tomorrow as the family are having pizza and I know I would cave if I sat there with a shake or ate fish etc so I’m making a cauliflower base pizza, a little tom purée on top, some red onion, some mushrooms and a bit of grated cheese, might add a little ham or something for protein. Sounds weird but I love it just as much as “real” pizza
@pittopotamus try sticking with it till end of jan and see what your loss is then as your so near to target, remember, people of a more normal size only usually lose max 1-2lb a week when dieting, it’s usually only those of us with half our body weight to lose that loose 3-10lbs a week!
I’m on day 7 today, managed to resist the party food, just took a small pot of tiny cubed cheese to tide me over, had a shake lunchtime and low carb fish tea and will have another shake before bed later on this eve. Tea was hard as family had pies, veg, roasties and Yorkshire’s but I completely resisted so that was good.
On the subject of poo, I cannot fart in fear it’s not a fart iyswim. Can’t trust this diet so have to keep remembering to head to the loo if I feel the urge to fart as it’s not worth the risk!
@clash can totally relate to the voice in your head thing, have had it myself over the last few days, mostly in connection to seeing cereal or bread being eaten, it’s terrible, like carbs are drugs lol. Each time I get the voice I just think, nope, I’m going to go swimming in the summer with the kids, I will fit in and wear a costume.
Today is day 2 of not smoking for me also, so I’m pleased with that.
