Budgeting for this WOL?? Help!
I'm at my weakest point, and stressing out big time(obviosly.. it's almost 6 in the morning and I haven't even slept yet). Here's the thing (and please, don't tell me to just eat more fat and it'll get better). I honestly am sick of meat (I can't even look at another caesar salad either!). Everything makes me lose my appetite. Not only that, but I'm embarrased to say that this WOL is costing me a fortune. I try and buy wise... but for 3 meals a day (all containing some sort of fat &/or protein, eg: meat) it's expensive as hell!
So I've been stressing all night (after having given in and eating rice tonight, and feeling guilty as hell ... but everything else turned my stomach). To make matters worse, I've stalled and haven't lost a pound in over a week.. I've actually gained one!
I want to do this.... I really do. But how can I fit it into my budget and still eat when everything on the induction menu makes me sick. And I've checked into the atkins shakes... they're over $40 here and only makes 11 shakes. Whoa. Other protein shakes are just as expensive (and I have to admit very unsatisfying). I'm about to jump on slimfast or something, that's how lost I feel. Please, some words of advice... something to get me back on course. The money issue is my biggest concern since I have to eat differently than everyone else in my household (who are ironically on a low fat diet) and I'm on a tight budget. How do you guys do it??
