Well I've made it to day 6. I don't think I could have done it without this site! Today I feel like I am having hunger pains. I'm not going to crack- but if anyone has any tips for this I would be greatful.
I actually did some housework yesterday and today. I am going very slowly, but I'm getting it done. I cheated and pulled out the scale today... I've lost 10 lbs so far! I put it away so I would become obsessed with it.
I am soooo craving some chicken noodle soup, some hot wings, cereal, and cheese... If I could just smell them I'm sure I would have an olfactory meal on them. My husband is out of town so I emptied the house of all food so I wouldn't break. Luckily our downstairs neighbors cook the most wonderfully fragrant foods every night- so it helps to smell it.

MoreThis is a reply to # 826,701I was the same way yesterday, but I was tempted enough that if I had the chance to eat the burrito and cheese I would have! I stayed in and watched a lot of tv. And drank a TON of water. That really helped kill the cravings. I talked on the phone a lot too. I usually don't like to eat when I'm on the phone with someone so that helped take my mind off it, I also googled everything under the sun. Hope that helps!

MoreThis is a reply to # 826,701I watch cooking, listen to people talk about what they are eating, etc.
Some people freak about that. Works for me. Just hang in there, hunger always passes. Talk to yourself about what you can eat in the future. I feel less stressed giving myself permission to have things later.- Today has been the hardest :( maynicholas

This is a reply to # 826,782Definitely the hardest as far as cravings. The headache is back and the weakness too. I am moving at a snails pace. Just thinking about all the yummies that people will be having for the superbowl.... Luckily I will be alone in my apt so no temptations here.
I am also having sleeping problems now too. I wake up often and then it takes forever to fall back to sleep.
PLEASE tell me it gets better!- It gets better! bbless

This is a reply to # 826,799Coddle yourself, and do things that help with sleep, relaxing environment, no electronics for a couple of hours before bed (physical therapists made my hubby go through training in this stuff. TV is a sleep killer), use aroma therapy, baths, whatever works for YOU. Peace!

This is a reply to # 826,799How are you doing now? I'm only on day 3.... I fantasize about eating food that's solid. I feel annoyed at The Eaters in the world. I feel slightly lightheaded and euphoric most of the time, but luckily, I'm able to sleep just fine.
I hope your sleeplessness has improved! Maybe you can drink some Nighty Night tea? It's herbal, so it should be alright, right? I'm not sure, but that's what I would do.
Best wishes,
Piper
