It's like you have to sacrifice having bread and other limited foods so that you can eat shit loads of pasta and potato - stuff that fills you up then leaves you gagging for something crunchy and satisfying. Everything's such a faff to prepare. You can't change the law of physics and/or biology. Weight loss 'science' is based on the highly explored hypothesis that you've got to take it less than you give out or you gonna get lardy.... I counted calories WHILST doing SW just to check and my calorie intake was a bit higher on SW but not much higher. My wants and foodie desires however were through the roof. I ate loads of fruit which I don't normally do because for something so unsatisfying and water filled it has a load of calories, (I like veg more - easier to use as you can bulk up your meals with it) and I craved chocolate like a crazy woman. I've not had that feeling since I started calorie counting.
So, I've hoped off that wagon and back into the saddle of my original horse which was cantering along quite nicely. Why oh why I felt the need to meddle and shake things up I do not know. I DO know that I will have put some weight on this week, possibly a one or two pounds and I also know that that's OK. I'm in this for the long haul. I want to lose weight fast and painlessly but they are simply worlds that do not collide.... fast is do-able, fast and painlessly is not and this MUST be about lifestyle choices. I need 'choices'. One week I need to be able to go out with friends and have a coffee or a sandwich, (making the healthiest choices possible) and perhaps have less of a loss than I do the next week when I'm totally focussed and thinking of wearing a swimming costume. Needs and circumstances change. Slow and steady is the name of the game because at the end of the day it's not about losing the weight it's about keeping it off and that's a whoooole 'nother ball game.
