kanyenk, I sooo feel your pain!! It's really hard for me because I have a husband and 4 teenage boys in the house. It's filled with goodies. Even if I don't buy them, they bring them home. But my cheat today sure didn't help me feel better. Damned if we do, damned if we don't. It helps a ton for me to be on this forum. Everytime I think I want to go into the kitchen, I just log on to here first. I think part of the reason I cheated today was because I read a post from someone who cheated and still lost. I think those people shouldn't post. It's too easy to justify.
So, kanyenk, I'll won't cheat anymore, if you won't. How much more time do you have?? Maybe we should text each other when we're tempted. We can do this!!!
You're born in 1952 too? I'm a new Grammy so I had to use that name. LOL If I had it to do over again, I would have just used the real one since I tell everyone anyway. LOL Colleen
someone posted this before, but when you crave only a particular food, it's just that- a craving. if you're truly hungry, any "real" food sounds good to you.
when i was at the clinic getting an iv today i was talking to one of the nurses who is presently on P3- she cheated and had a piece of cheesecake pie yesterday for her birthday. i'll be darned if i didn't think about that pie the whole time i was there....
tonight i was really craving some new tastes- but i find it's best to find something to distract yourself with. if you start to make a small cheat an option, it can turn into a bigger cheat.
I am moving onto P3 on Sunday or Monday (not too sure) my last injection was yesterday, so I am not sure what day. I have just been craving peanut butter, and carbs big time. So, what has been helping my this evening is telling myself "It's not worth it. It's just NOT worth it."
Wendyh, I FEEL YOU ... I don't have four teenage boys in the house (omg how are you still sane?) but I have four kids in the house lol. WHO LOOOOOOVE SWEETS and candy!
Kanyenk, How long have you been on p2? How much weight did you lose? You can have peanut butter on p3 right? And you almost there!!!! You can literally count the hours now. Lucky you!!!
wendyh - Peanut butter is okay on P3, but approach with caution. Add one thing in at a time so you can tell if something causes a weight gain. Some have trouble with nuts if they add them too early.
I did a cycle of 26 injection days with 3 off due to TOM I started @ 169 and as of today D27 I weigh 147.8 The plan was to do a 25 injection day cycle and then 3 VLCD so it would be 28 days total; but I had some extra and did a little longer. Can someone please tell me if I start P3 on Sunday or Monday? Last injection was yesterday morning.
