Ugh, getting tired of this food already
| Thu, 01-22-2004 - 7:23pm |
I'm on day 4, almost day 5 and I'm just tired of everything. It's ok in the AM but by afternoon I'm feeling really sick of eating what I have. I guess I must miss carbs or something cause after I eat I'm fine but right before I eat I'm feeling like I wanna eat junk! I guess my blood sugar hasn't evened out yet. Or I'm stressed and wanna eat junk. Or maybe I'm going too long without eating??? Just venting here! But what's your advice for me???

Welcome to the board. I went thru some of the same things you are going thru. It took me a few days to get use to it but I did have some cheat days but got right back on the wagon. Give yourself a break. You can do this.
But I've already lost 8 pounds and that is SO motivational! I almost cracked last night and had some cookies, but somehow I toughed it out. That is so unlike me, cause usually I have no will power.
I think you have to get rid of the mindset of "this food." This way of eating is going to HAVE to become a way of life, not so extreme in the future however, in order to maintain the weight we lose.
I'll tell you though, someday I'm going to have to have a Cinnabon!

good luck - you'll make it!
Hang in there you can get thru it.

There used to be a LOT of posts with recipes that originated on Hippodamia (www.hippodamia.com), but I don't see any of them floating around right now. Check it out, it's a whole website library dedicated to SBD, sorted by phase. Check out the Zucchini Crust pizza, one of my Phase 1 favorites!
Good luck!

Edited to say: I forgot about www.recipezaar.com too. If you're not a member, sign up. It's free, they have a HUGE recipe library, and you can sort by ingredients (they even have low-carb categories).
