Im dubious at going to just SS+ with doing so well on 810 - can't you give it a go, Tess?

Hi Rumbly, I will probably move up to 810 leading up to Christmas, I think. I try not to have too much temptation, i.e food around me. Even on SS+ I try and have 4 shakes a day, which works especially if I'm at work. When I'm off I have a little meal such as an omelette or quorn mince.

I get you, Tess. What do you do if you work shifts - are you a nurse?

Day 8
Its 2am and Im writing because Ive been thinking. I keep dreaming of my goal date and how lovely it will be to share my full self without being shy or embarassed. To share a picture of me with a pair of jeans and a t shirt tucked in with a belt! I haven't worn anything like that for 22 years. Jesus, looking back its breaking my heart that Ive spent so long wearing baggy cothes and just "making do". Hoping, in the mean time, that people accepted me for being big cos Im a home girl (we never go out, so I don't have any reason to wear nice clothes all the time) and I don't really socialise in real life.
With my work I have travelled the UK a little but then its only for demos with people who want to watch what I do as opposed to who I am. Ive hidden behind this shame for too long. So even though I go out, my hubby and I just do not. I know its because of our daughter special needs and I don't feel deprived of a social life but maybe now that she is older and can be left on her own that maybe my hubby would be delighted to show me off and me feel like a million dollars.
Thats what keeps me focused - me, hubs and a gorgeous dress on my fortieth with the odd night out on the tiles now and again so I feel "human" again.
**Can't wait for my delicious, delectable and delumptious choc mint shake in the morning!**

im here but this is my only time to post Hope you had a good day, darling x
Today I had my first starvation attack whilst at a hospital appointment with my daughter........even though i could have eaten anything in the hospital shop to satisfy it, I chose not to and drank a load of water. I was dead shakey. I was so close to ruining it all due to that hunger
This is the part of the diet that frightens me. It just came out of the blue and I didn't like it.

Hi Rumbly, sorry only just saw this post. I work as a supervisor and we monitor alarms, etc. Quite stressful sometimes.
Hope you're ok?

Hi Rumbly, that's not good! Hope you're ok now? Didn't the hospital shop have anything protein-based, like some meat or a protein bar that you could've had as an emergency source? Well done for staying strong though. x

Day 8 continued
I knew my self control was too good to be true. I was so smug to think that I was invincible and powerful. But no, today's hunger attack really made me have doubts about myself. Thanks to Tess's advice above, if it were to happen again I will reach out for a protein snack (of sorts).
Now don't think me wrong, but I know a LOT about protein. Ive done atkins loads of times and its an amazing diet - I usually do it to de-bloat on a regular basis ....... Im not an "atkins for life girl" (although I'll probably follow an atkins style diet at the end of CD because I know its carbs that make me a masso chunka moo moo).
Im sooooooo protein educated and know what to spot in shops and cafes. If a hunger pang stngs again, the thing Ill reach out for is a pack of those yummy fridge raiders which are VERY low carbs and are free on atkins. I just didnt think to buy something protein-y during my starvation attack as I just have CD shakes on my mind for the day, meal at night and my bar for supper. And today, my head went into panic mode. God, I know it sounds dramatic but it threw me for six.
Anyway, Ive had another turkey loaf tonight which was heavenly and my bar for supper and Im back to normal and on track to lose at least 4-6lbs this week as Im still in my first fortnight.
Loves ya xx
