Well, I have been thinking alot about this WOE. I felt great after I got through induction but now I feel so sluggish. I'm eating my veggies and taking my vitamins but I feel my body is lacking in something. Most of you also know I've been struggling with a lack of appetite with new meds and a flare from arthritis. Gosh....that sounds like a lot of stuff ! LOL! Sorry to unload all of this on you!
Now...I am dealing with the expense of this diet and the time it takes to prepare foods. I feel like I am spending money on two grocery bills. It is just me and may daughter and she is only 12 so of course I am not having her eat the same things I eat. For dinner, yes we eat similar things as there is protein and veggies but like for breakfast and lunch...not so much. Also, for snacks....totally opposite. While I'm buying her apples and carrots and yes a little junk food..I'm buying myself pork rinds and cheese. You get the picture. Not to mention the time it takes to prepare my foods. I work full time and being a single mom....taking the time it takes to prepare us two different meals sometimes is wearing on me.
While I understand this WOE and how great it works I just dont believe I can keep it up. With my appetite diminishing..I feel I will do okay on just watching portions. I miss just being able to pour myself some quick cereal for breakfast and eating and then going on with my day with taking my daughter to school and then working. I miss grabbing something quick for lunch and not spending half my lunch break on just the preparation. Maybe when my life gets back on track I can do this again cause I do understand how great it can be.
