Well, I am getting fed up now. I am several months in on this LCHF diet. I keep having more and more days when I am really miffed that I can't eat this and that. Is this normal? Am I just feeling sorry for myself?
We are a family of four in this house. My teens are always eating and my husband is a bit if a scoffer. I do the food order every week for delivery and there's a clear divide in the sort of foods I order. My boring lot of stuff and their wonderful indulge yourself stuff. Mine looks like an advert for a health freak, theirs just looks...well...normal! Before you say it, no, they won't just eat my foods to be healthier, they would turn their noses up at a lot of the things I eat.
Sometimes, just sometimes, I am watching Tv and I get the taste for something that I used to eat. It might be a Snickers, a couple of doorstoppers, a bowl of crumble and custard, a sausage roll - you get the gist? Then I get sad. I sit and just feel sad. I wonder if I will ever have some of these things again and then I feel angry. Don't know who I am angry with! It's made worse by the fact that I don't fit your typical picture. Shocks still there a bot I guess.
Will these cravings ever go away? The other day it got so bad I actually had an inkling to forget LCHF and just eat anything I want. I thought, is it worth feeling this miserable. Then I remembered amputations and my bad only kidney function and it woke me up....only til the next time though.
How have you handled this if you have got in this mindset?
