I was put on a 3 week diet and I am on day 11 and this has been the hardest thing mentally I have ever experienced. I have lost 17 pounds so far! I have had some weak moments though. I was starving and I just couldn't drink another Protein drink so I ate some broccoli. I know I'm halfway there but another week and a half seems so long. I never really realized the true relationship I had with food until now. I know that I will be able to eat again but it doesn't feel like it at the moment. Some positives have come from it though. I feel like I have more energy. I don't have that bloated feeling. I also think mentally it has helped even though it has been a struggle. I am grateful for the opportunity to do this and I know I can it's just sometimes we need to let it out to people who actually understand what we are going through.

The mental game of this is far more challenging than the physical one in my opinion.

Good luck as you continue your journey!

We are human. Three weeks of liquid is a long time. If you are going to cheat - broccoli is a good way to go. Be gentle with yourself - you are about to undergo a major life change. 17 pounds is a nice amount -- go buy yourself a new lipstick or other makeup as a reward -- even if its from Walgreens or CVS. Reward the victories. You're doing great.

That is what I was thinking. I definitely look at food a little differently and I still have the bad cravings but I ultimately think about how bad it is and it stops me from those thoughts. I figured if I feel like I absolutely have to have something it needs to be nutritional and low carb. I might have to reward myself with something! Maybe a pedicure! Thank you for your kind words!
