First Day - Feeling Positive
- Thread starter G5worrall
- Start date
Day 4, what can I say but the Ketosis fairy must have visited last night, I woke up this morning feeling lighter and full of energy. I had an awful day yesterday and could have thrown in the towel, soo glad I didn't cant imagine how I would have felt this morning. It's funny because all I wanted to eat last night was meat, not chocolate or bread but meat.
Hope everyone is ok.. Xxx

Well done for not throwing in the towel, it'll so be worth it when you step on the scales!!
Still going now on day 6 didn't get chance to post yesterday. Bit of a rollercoaster day. 2 more days until weigh in. I'm determined to stay 100% until weigh day then am thinking of going on refeed. It really is hardcore, I started really positive but it is really hard. My hat goes off to everyone who can stick to this long term, your willpower must be amazing and you deserve your big losses. Hope everyone has a good day. X

I can't believe I'm actually saying this but deffo give it a chance...the first week is insane and it does get easier....I started on 6th March and really struggled and fell off the wagon.....but I've dusted myself off, started again beginning of last week and am now on day 12 of my re-start and amazed I've gotten this far....I've decided to break my time and goals down as the thought of doing this for months just makes me want to pack it in there and then...I've decided to give make my weightloss goals weekly too....take it a shake at a time....day at a time....it seems to be working for me so far....even my OH has said I seem to just be getting on with it now with much less of the grouchy/frustration....it really is about getting past that first week or so and adjusting your mindset....do it a shake at a time to start....
Its alot easier than the first week believe me! its still tough tho but it is on any diet, its just easier to cheat on other diets! Try it it for one more week then see how you feel xx
Thanks everyone for your support its really appreciated. I will see how it goes. I'm not hungry it's the cravings, I didn't realise how much I rely on food it's like an addiction, I eat when I'm happy, sad, bored, for company... I read a quote which says the definition of insanity is doing the same things over and over again and expecting different results! No wonder I'm at the weight I am, I wanted to start lipotrim for a kick start, get a bit of discipline and in the meantime shrink my stomach and retrain my taste buds.
I just want to eat some food and I bet it doesn't taste as good as I think it will. As I work in an office there's always biscuits and cake around. Whilst I was making a round of drinks I felt a really strong urge to eat this chocolate digestive it was really a strong urge my mouth was watering and everything. I resisted and didn't eat it as I thought 5 seconds of pleasure that's all I would have had 5 seconds tops, then I would have had to have another and another....
I have stuck to this 100% this week, only one day to go til weigh in, do the cravings ever stop or become easier to handle?
Theres a small square of cheese in the fridge, I'm sure it knows my name and keeps calling out to me, think I'm cracking up!
Well I'm babbling now... Thanks again everyone xxx

Well it's day 7, still 100%, how did I get here.... Small bit of cheese removed by OH, one shake down two to go, 3 pints of water drank 5 more to go. I'm feeling really chuffed that I've done this, we'll I've definitely proved there is a bit of control. I am still struggling with the cravings though. Daughter and OH gone out for lunch, I'm right jealous, but I'll be able to go out for lunch when this is done. Hope everyone is having a good day today xxx

It is tough I agree....shake at a time day at a time is what I tell myself constantly....I'm on day 13 now and deffo wouldn't be if I continued to look at the big picture of doing this for 3-4months....well done you

Like you, I'd eat when happy/sad/bored etc. The most empowering thing about doing LT is when you can objectively analyse a feeling and realise that it is just that - a feeling/craving. Your subconscious has learned over time how to 'protect you' and this includes putting food in your mouth to 'feel better' even if at a concious level you know it's not the right thing and it's really difficult to fight against because it's hardwired that way. You may or may not have had a chance to read the Fred Thread. It explains why it's so difficult and why understanding and changing behaviours in our subconscious is so important for our futures. You're not cracking up at all. You are having to fight your subconscious for a while until you can take control and start reprogramming for the future. Not having to deal with food during this is the most beneficial thing about LT I think. I've included the link if you're interested http://www.minimins.com/lipotrim-forum/302242-all-about-fred-changing-habits-using-fred.html
Keep going, I know you can do it even if you think it's too hard at the moment. Tiny steps all add up
