I'm trying to use some of the foods I bough week one before I realized that I really just like the shakes! I don't want to be stuck with the choices I made before I knew what I liked too much longer so I am trying to throw one or two of them in a day.
Give yourself a gift and get rid of the ones you don't want. Just for the time you are in P1, give yourself permission to do just what makes it easier to follow IP. Maybe you can exchange the rest of the packets you aren't crazy about? Give them to someone else? Save them for a rainy day, out of sight/
If necessary, TRASH THEM and whatever else creates struggles. It's funny how this 'gotta use them up' mentality kicks in for things we don't much like, especially when we are on a diet. I drive myself crazy doing this, and it always leads to overeating of what I don't even like. For P1, I gave myself permission to do whatever was needed to succeed. I'm realizing in P4 that it applies as well. Sounds like you are figuring out what works --way to go!
