I feel like I'm going through withdrawl...

[chgomom]

OMG this is coming in waves today. This is the worst day so far.

I feel tired....irritated...nauseated,,,,and anxious. Almost like I am going through withdrawl from some drug.

Sorry for a silly post because it's probably all in my head, but this is doing a number on me today. Does anyone else get this...or have you had this...or is it just me losing it...

>.<

It sounds like induction flu to me. Your body is changing over to burning fat & is purging all sorts of bad stuff. Trust me - apple juice and a popsicle won't help These symptoms last a few days, but they pass - and then you start to feel great! Be patient

It happens to almost all of us. We call it induction flue. The body is transitioning to ketosis. It won't take long and you'll feel like a new person. In the mean time pamper yourself. Put on lipstick, put your feet up, watch some soap or Dr. Phil or something.

They call it the "Induction Flu". I've not had it yet... but I sort of look forward to it. It will pass as they say, stay strong.

You ARE going through withdrawl!! And, guess what? IF you cheat, you get to go through it all over again, maybe a variation but there's always a price when you pour sugar in again. Just hang in there! Make sure you're getting enough carbs and water. Make certain of those 2 things. It will pass, I promise....and then you'll be walking around your house cleaning it like you just took speed but you'll know it's only KETOSIS!! Hang in there, it gets better!!

LOL you guys are great!! I feel like a recovering addict today. I guess in a way I am huh.

I usually do 4 miles a day...two in the morning, which I did,,,,and two at night...tonight I dont think i will do it...but then I think I am being lazy.

Help!! I am looking at this diet....just like an prescription my doctor would give me, only its healthier because it's not some drug. But...like a drug I guess there are adjustments and side effects till your body adjusts.

Then....my husband....totally unsupportive...put pasta with sauce and meatballs right next to my eggs, and aske dme if I wanted baby back ribs with sauce tonight!!

Re: I feel like I'm going through withdrawl...

Why do you think your husband is unsupportive about you becoming healthy?

[chgomom]

Re: I feel like I'm going through withdrawl...

Well because he is constantly offering things I can't have. Then he puts the pasta that I was moaning about the night before right on my eggs.

I guess I could look at it as forcing me to have more control.

But it's just not nice.

Re: I feel like I'm going through withdrawl...

I guess what I meant is what do you think the underlying reason is for him to be treating you this way. Do you think he is happy with your weight? Is he afraid of you losing weight? Is he overweight himself? Does he think you might leave him if you lose weight? Is he jealous? There are all sorts of reasons why he is basically shoving food you can't have right in your face...

I would sort of pout and ask innocently... why are you doing this to me? Don't you want me to be healthy? and see what he says...
