The Hunger

Well from looking at James Y's progress over the last couple of months it was around now that he went through big changes between weeks four and six and I now am beginning to understand why. The hunger is really kicking in. Last night I actually had to stop half way through playing a squash match and go and drink some water - just because my stomach was so empty it was making me feel ill! Getting up this morning was a real problem again - running on empty. Need more protein! Or something.

But at least I feel thinner every day. And the trousers are getting pretty baggy now. And some old shirts that I haven't worn for two or three years are wearable again. The trouble is that if I look in the mirror I don't really see it. This is a special feature of dieting: because everything gets smaller at the same time, my gut still sticks out as much as it did relative to everything else and it leaves me wondering what it is I have to do?? I am fully aware of this from my last dieting effort so nothing to worry about as it will go eventually. And the only thing one can do is shut up, keep the eyes closed and carry on with the program. Don't worry about it and only check the progress when its all done! Trust in the PCP and it will happen!!!
