Day 1. Weighted in at 100kg on the dot. I feel completely uncomfortable in my body and miserable in my mind. I hate looking in the mirror. My body has been hijacked by my comfort eating, but I think I'm at the point where my will to own my body again outweighs any benefit I get from comfort eating.
So I've taken off work to focus on getting this low carb thing sorted. Last week I got 36 hours in and was exhausted. Yesterday I got 16 hours in and before dinner I was fit to explode with rage. Dinner didn't fix it, but two Tim tams and 2 mini ice creams did 😒 I keep postponing it until I get a few days free of work but it doesn't happen. I'm ready, I'm prepared, I'm motivated and the time is now.
So I'm going to treat this as if I'm sick. I've warned the family I might be grumpy. I'm going to use my sick leave to bunker down and get this thing going. If I feel like sh!t, food is NOT going to fix it. Food is my false friend, it makes me feel better while sabotaging me behind my back.
Today I'll have a high cal intake but I want to go LCHP without feeling hungry, because I know I won't feeling hungry tomorrow, then I can just ride on that wave.

I've never heard of taking sick days to work on your eating plan, but it is a good idea if that's what you need to get you on track (and if you've GOT the days to use!) Bravo for you - taking charge and forging ahead!

Thank you Debbie, it's not just my eating plan I need to work on. I have 30kg to lose, chronic pain & a couple of other issues. I know LCHP or keto works for me but I can't get past the keto flu and into a routine while doing shift work. I've been steadily gaining weight for almost 10 years and my pain is much worse. I've just hit a wall, I'm taking a week to focus on my physical & mental health and I know my GP well, I know she will support me 👍
