    4th day blues....

    I will not go to wendy's and get a cheeseburger (no bun) today.

    I have been doing that for three days straight I am damn sure that's not Dr. Atkins wanted us to do - that's just the easy way out.

    To make this a lifestyle - I must commit to cooking my lunches. I have been doing great with breakfasts and dinners (I think my boyfriend has fall in love with me all over again because I have been serving eggs, bacon, lamb, cornish game hen...etc)

    But if this is going to be a lifestyle I need to leave the fast food for emergencies.

    I also will eat veggies through out the day so it won't spike my blood sugar at night when I usually have been eating them all.

    I will also listen to my body and hear when it's full. This is hard though because my body doesn't know what "happy and full" is. It only knows starving and OMG I AM SO FULL. So this will take practice - I am sure my body is in pure shock when I feed it bacon and needs time to adjust...like "ok...alright....I am not gonna starve....I dig this" and begin to love me again.

    Have any of you felt like that? Like your body needed to adjust to feeling full and happy instead of two extremes?

    I hear what you are saying...I have been in the bad habit of skipping breakfast sometimes lunch then going home and pigging out.

    It does take time for your body to get used to it. Hang in there!! You are 4 days in!!!! THAT IS FANTASTIC!!!

      Cut yourself some slack. You are staying within your 20 carbs per day and etc. That's all you need to take on your shoulders, especially during early induction. So, you are a walking success story!

      Besides, you have a lot more strength than you're giving yourself credit for. There is no way I could walk into a Wendys during my first few days of induction and only get a cheeseburger and toss the bun. LOL, someone would have had to grab me and wrestle me to the floor first!!

      You go girl!!!

        LOL that's true. I do believe a little tear rolled down my cheek when I threw away the bun. OH, and watching my boyfriend eat french fries with bbq sauce. But ya know what? Something tells me it's going to be worth it.

        I just need to find that feeling between starving and so full I can't move.

              Hang in there! I'm starting on my third week and have been tussling with the same pound for a week now. It will let go eventually - We just have to keep up the good fight!

              I know I will!
