Day 3 and I don't know if I can do it!

[amazingplatinum]

Day 3-

I am hungry, depressed, feeling like I could just "give up" and foget the whole thing. I am constantly thinking about food and how I can divide the lean and green, the condiments, the snacks... etc. anything to save myself from quiting today.

I am trying so hard not to give up.

DO NOT GIVE UP!!!

I am early in my new journey as well..just day 5..and I was feeling just like you earlier today. Coming here really helps me see that there is light at the end of the tunnel and that if we keep sabatoging ourselves and giving up we will never get our bodies to where we want them to be!

If you are hungry, your body is trying to tell you something. Either you are just craving food for an emotional reason (think about if you are REALLY hungry) or your body actually NEEDS the food. If this is the case, then Eat! Just eat very slowly, and STOP when you are full. Drink lots of water!

Please Please stay on track. Once you get the hang of it you will see such a difference if you can just hang on.

Good luck! And remember, if you've already slipped tomorrow is a new day, if you haven't slipped try to stay on plan!

You can absolutely do it! I'm also on my day three, and last night, I weighed myself and realized I was heavier than I thought on my starting day (by 4 pounds!) I got so depressed and pissed I was ready to give up right then and there!

BUT then I realized that if I gave up, I would only continue to gain weight and be even more pissed off at myself. I didn't give up and today I feel much better about myself and where I will be in a few months.

If we give up...then in a few weeks or months, we will be even heavier and WISH that we weighed what we weigh right now. If we stick with it, we will eventually feel better (and likely be smaller!)

I've lost weight before, and the first few weeks sucks A LOT...but it does get easier.

Stick with it! You will feel better about that than you will about quitting!

Here's to success, perseverance, and feeling good about ourselves!

Jana don't give up! Today is day 2 for me and I know I will be able to get through this. I did MF two years ago and lost over 20 pounds! Just stay on track and you'll see the scale and inches go byebye! Stay strong! Water is my lifeline today!

[amazingplatinum]

Thank GOD for crystal lite because I am relearning to like water.... and I think it helps to put a little flavor in it.


Thank you for all your encouragement--- I NEEDED you guys today!

Hugs,

Jana hang tough! I'm glad we are here for you! I wish that this forum was a little more busy, but it works for me. Glad your doing better!

Jana,

Please do not give up. Not today. I have always found day 3 to be the hardest day for me...a doctor once told me it takes 3 to 4 days for the ketones to build up, and that once they are at a high enough level, the hunger isn't so much of an issue.

Keep doing what you need to do to get through today. You can do this.

Hang in there, Jana! I am going to start tomorrow so I can't say I have been there yet. You can do this! Maybe check out some of the MF success stories to give you a little bit of motivation!

I feel that!! Im on day 2 and it sure is a struggle. I have ordered some of those flavor drop things, miracle noodles also some of the things from Walden Farms to help me out. I am hoping they are really going to give me the boost I need to stick with this plan. I also looked up some recipes on the mymedifast board and just got done baking oatmeal "bread" lol!:)


You can do it!!! Stay strong its sure tempting to have something off plan but think tomorrow your in Ketones...you are going to start the burn big time!!!! Keep your mind on that!! Your pants getting loser, your shopping trip!!:D YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!

[Nay75]

[amazingplatinum]

AH Nay75,
Thanks for asking how I am!! I am 300,000 time better! I made it through and now finishing up day 4 with the realization that I might actually be able to do this!

Thank you!

So glad to hear your doing good Jana! Whooho! Tomorrow is my Day 4 and my firt Day back to work since starting. I'm nervous, but I know I can do this!

[amazingplatinum]

I started my 1st work day today and it wasn't too bad. I stayed busy and wasn't concerned about food. Hope the same for you too!

[Nay75]
