Angry Protest Launched

Day 4 (in my new protein eating regime )

How am I feeling today?

Truth be known, I’m very cranky.

I was warned the lack of sugar could send me loopy for a bit.

My body is staging a violent protest as I type.

Sugar! Sugar! Sugar! The protest is in full swing but my security team are taking no prisoners

“What do we want?”

“Sugar”

“When do we want it?”

“Now!”

There are some security cells in my body dealing with these rebels and hopefully they will put a lid on them.

They are a feisty bunch AND used to getting their own way.

I hope my security crew have been properly trained.

I feel cranky, and too focused on eating.

I will just roll with these feelings, it is early days.

The key is  not to beat myself up over anything, to be gentle with myself and to keep on keeping on.

The start of new ways of eating can bring out our  inner critic.

It is so easy to beat ourselves up over the smallest of things and then end up quitting. The result – feeling like a failure.

I am consciously trying to be kind to myself.

It is a tough gig with all the little saboteurs lurking with their sugary requests, but so far…. I am winning.
