Uh-oh. Day Nine became blow-out day, alas.

It all started well. Woke tired but not at all ‘hungover’ or headachey. Just sleepy.

Felt motivated but also wary that I’m not losing a single gram. Could have been the no-sugar chocolate bar (ok, it was only around 50g but it has to add up) I wolfed down last night to make myself feel better. Have to keep relying on the fact that my clothes are getting looser and that although I’ve stepped up the exercise, I do spend a great deal of my day sedentary (the curse of the writer!).

Whatever the case, what I am noticing is that even when I start feeling emotionally ratty, I am looking good! Nice little unexpected side-bonus.

Went to naturopath (oh, and dentist went well the other day, too) and that was amazing, as it’s been years. A good naturopath is freakishly amazing at pinpointing your ailments and needs. Left her office feeling refreshed, so much happier and with a small stash of homeopathic remedies, which I can’t wait to start.

Felt so good after naturopath, Husband is going next week and am also going to take my son soon.

As day progressed, I found I had lots of energy and focus. Made another delicious, no-carb dinner and had a little no-sugar chocolate after. Admittedly, my dinner didn’t contain a heap of protein but I was still sated.

At about 8pm, I became starving. This is my food witching hour, it seems. Or could it have been the naturopathy remedies I’d started? I was so ravenous, it shocked me and I beat off cravings for an hour, drinking lots of water. At 9pm, I caved completely and ate so many rice crackers, my stomach distended and I was so horrified, disappointed and so so sooo upset with myself.

Went to bed feeling lousy and absolutely exhausted. What a way to enter week two.

    Hey Tania! You’re doing great! My Naturopath put me on a gluten free, low carb diet and told me to up the water and exercise and I felt the difference too. I can so relate to the way you felt before and the change you’ve experienced. And also the regret when your good record is tarnished. Can you eat nuts or seeds in your diet? I’m guessing so. When I feel the 8pm cravings, I grab a small handful of almonds and sunflower seeds. And a cup of licorice and peppermint tea. It always does the trick. Nuts have that yummy, sweet, white, crunchy, satisfying texture and flavour which makes you feel like you’re eating something naughty when you’re not.
    I’ve felt extra motivated reading your blog tonight,
    Thanks!
