Is how I feel today! There's no food in, I am upset about returning to work in 10 days - which is making me want chocolate - and I burst into tears watching the news about the earthquake in Christchurch and the 5 month old baby boy who died in it. Food really is my emotional bolt hole and right now I want a chocolate eclair, Yorkie bar and a tub of Haagan Daz Strawberry Cheesecake - so emotionally it's clearly bad! Instead I will have a cup of tea and a muller light! Thank goodness for being skint, as if I had money I would probably be munching on the Yorkie bar right now.
So, now I have vented, back to the facts. I have today lost 1 1/2 lbs - yay!
Breakfast: Oatbran porridge
Mid-morning snack: None
Lunch: Tin of Mackerel and a muller light
Afternoon snack: 1 x jaffa cake (I was at a friends and couldn't resist unfortunately)
Tea: (This is really bad I'm afraid, but the fish I thought I had, I didn't and the cupboards really are bare until James comes home with some money tomorrow night) 5 x Sausages
Drinks: 1 x diet coke, 4 x tea, bottle of water
Starting weight: 19st 12lb
Current weight: 18st 9 1/2lb
Lost: 16 1/2lbs
Aw tough day.. but normal unfortunately. Your body is still adjusting to not being 'rewarded' with what it sees as 'goodies' when you are stressed, for whatever reason. It does get easier, honest but we all still get days when we want to run around raiding fridge, freezer, cupboard, the kids sweets... anything and everything. My standbys are to always have the jelly/yogurt 'mousse' in the fridge, even if I eat four bowls of it, it's not going to hurt too much. I also allow myself a treat each day (allowable) of a Dukan vanilla muffin. Today I made sort of carrot cake muffins by adding in half a finely shredded carrot and a good dollop of mixed spice. Ok, not proper cake but it fills a hole and is sweet enough to feel like a treat.
ReplyDeleteStay strong, look at that loss, it's worth it! Soon you'll be running every day and not even a little puff :-)
Totally agree with Mum's comment! Your doing so well, both of you, it makes me want to do Dukan again because your losses are fab! It won't be easy everyday hon, but try to resist those treats (I personally think you're doing OK!) xxx
