I hope you have had a chance to read some journals, and some of the other threads here.
You, like so many of us, are normal. I know that in our world, there is no "normal", however, when it comes to this WOL, you are going through what most of us have.
It's like being an addict of anything, there is a withdrawl period. It is different for everyone, however, everyone goes through it.
Hang in there.
You seem to be very concious of everything you are doing for your body, give your body a chance to catch up with your mind!
I use Sweet n Low to try to stay away from the cravings caused by Nutra Sweet. I also use both Splenda & Sweet n Low when baking, or cooking, as it cuts the bitter taste of artificial sweetners.
I go through periods of eating one thing constantly, like bacon and eggs for breakfast. So I make a quice, eggs, sausage, bacon, several different cheeses, a little spniach, what ever I have in the fridge. I bake it in a glass bowl, freeze the left overs. I also make a batch of Atkins pancakes, which lasts me several days. I am about to take on the adventure of trying to make Atkins bread. (I'm not a Susie Hommaker type!)
You'll find so many recipies here from those of us who enjoy eating and, like me, aren't chefs, however, we can make a few simple recipies which will bring the enjoyment back into meal time.
I find that I enjoy this WOE as it's rich, and I know it's good for me.
Please hang in there, and keep up with the vitamins, supplements and water!
You really are doing great.
Just think, if you ONLY loose one pound a week, in a year, you'll have lost 52lbs! So the weeks that you stall, or the weeks you loose more than a pound will average out.
