I'm hungry!
I have to admit it. My resolve is beginning to wane. I haven't cheated... yet. However, being on Optifast for the last 5 weeks is wearing on me. It's normal to want food, right? I'm only human! Even more, I'm a woman that goes through monthly changes and cravings and ickiness that can only truly be comforted by ingesting yumminess that soothes the female beast.
Here are some of the scenarios going through my head:
1) Eating 1/2 a chicken breast isn't that many calories... besides, protein is good, right?
2) My metabolism needs a change to keep going, so it's not really cheating, it's just boosting my metabolism!.
3) I can just skip one of my 160 calorie shakes, and have something else that's 160 calories instead!
4) I only lost 1 lb last week... I can do that on my own without torturing myself with this damn liquid diet!
Logically, I know that none of these are good choices, but I really miss food. Even more, I really miss choices. For the last month I've chosen between chocolate or vanilla shakes and "chicken" flavored soup. If only someone could make cheeseburger-flavored calorie-free chewing gum, this might be easier.
