Hang in there mama!


I do have a question for everyone though. Lately I am HUNGRY. And I do mean HUNGRY. But I am eatting healthy, for instance yesterday I ate for breakfast egg whites and whole wheat toast. Then I was hungry 2 hours later so I had yogurt with some granola in it, then 2 hours later light string cheese, then lunch was a hummus wrap and salad, 2 hours later carrots, 2 hours later... it's never ending. I'm starving, and I'm lucky if I make it to the 2 hour mark I start getting huge hunger head aches and I start feeling weak and sick. I can't stand it. Then I come home and for dinner I eat a lot because I am so hungry it's practically knocking me out. I don't know why I am so hungry ALL the time.

Yeah, I have this going on too! FH has been cut off until after the wedding, though -- and it was HIS idea!

I am 11 days out from the wedding, and though I was hoping to hit 145, that's not going to happen. I'm at 153 right now, so I'm just hoping to see the other side of 150 by August 2nd. The 145 goal is really supposed to be for the end of the challenge, I just really hoped I could do it by August 2nd.

KB, it's normal to be hungry. Try eating nuts to tie you over a little bit longer. It's normal to have snacks throughout the day and that actually helps boost your metabolism. I have celery and carrot sticks in the fridge, and pretzels on my dining table when I want something else. Walnuts are on my kitchen counter, as well as sunflower seeds. I drink lots of water or chilled jasmine tea as well.

I don't know about the sick and weak feeling though. Maybe you're lacking some protein? I'm not a nutritional expert but it seems like you are low on something to make you feel that way.

KB your sugar is low! That is what the hunger is about have a Gatorade or juice weenie it helps!!

Ugh...gotta get back on the wagon. DS has been sleeping horribly the past few nights and in my braindead state I've been eating too many snacks...

[keonli]

You can do it, Nicole. Set a goal for yourself today. Something healthy, diet wise or activity wise. When you complete it, it'll be easier to get back on track.
