I am eating dinner at 5.20pm. I was too hungry to wait. What the heck am I going to do later when I get the mad munchies!? Brush my teeth and go to bed I guess.
Wow. I must have been eating some serious junk prior to commencing this diet. The withdrawals have been quite alarming. I can only recall two occasions prior to this diet when I have felt like this. One was when I did the cabbage soup diet at the age of 17. The other was during Big Brother (how and when and why I ended up on that show is a story for another day) when they fed us nothing but protein shakes mixed with porridge for three days straight. On both occasions I lost a significant amount of weight, so I hope I do lose weight easily on the current regime. Bring it on.
Meanwhile, I have to keep telling myself that it feels better to be empty and light-headed and like I am on the way to sexy summer skinniness than completely full and satisfied and hating myself! Ha ha.
The dinner tonight is a lamb, pumpkin, pomegranate, cucumber, lentil, eggplant and herb salad with a garlic yoghurt dressing. It is fantastic. If it was on the menu at a local cafe I would buy it.
They say to have herbal tea as your dessert. That is totally laughable. I have already had about 10 cups of tea today to stave of my hunger. I realise that by doing so I was probably just feeding it. But hey. At least I wasn't eating cake like usual.
I hope the significant cut in calories does not affect my breastmilk production. I am on the breastfeeding program so it does factor in an extra 500 on what the other people are eating.
My goodness. Those poor souls on 1200 calories. I do not know whether that is sustainable to be honest.
Makes me want to keep breastfeeding forever. I know, though, that I would eventually start getting weird looks.
