LL Management, Day Two

so, went for my management intro session on Tuesday night.  LLC had a good chat with me, and showed me what's what.  I read through the book, looking at what foods I'm allowed, and when.  The interesting stuff seems to take a long time to come around!

Yesterday was my first day.  Had a tub of cottage cheese for lunch.  Not terribly exciting, but I still felt anxious about being allowed to eat.  It was different when I was rebelling and breaking the rules :-)

I ate it and was disappointed that I didn't feel full afterwards - could easily have had double the amount.  I guess my off-switch is still not working properly.  A little while after eating, I felt quite uncomfortable.  Got a very bloated stomach.

Still, one good thing:  The antibiotics I have to take usually make me feel sick and nauseous.  The cheese really helped that.

Had to fight my old demons again on the way home.  Almost bought chocolate.  I think maybe because I know it's not 'allowed' until week 12, and I'm rebelling again.  Rebelling against what? My eating chocolate will have no impact on anyone other than me!

Now Day Two is here and I have more cottage cheese to look forard to.  Yippee.  Feel hungry now, debating whether or not I want it for breakfast or can hang on until lunch. 

I had told my LLC that I wanted to do an abridged version of the 12 week programme as I get married in 4 weeks and want to be eating normally for that and the honeymoon.  He wasn't especially keen.

But, being vegetarian, when eating out the options are mostly carb-based, rice and pasta are everywhere.  The 12 week plan introduces them way down the line (not sure how many egg white omlettes with cottage cheese I'll be able to face!).  I don't want the same reaction I had last night so I'm going ahead with my abridged version anyway.

Instead of each week being 7 days, mine will only have 4, before I move onto the next week, and introduce new foods.  Will try rice etc a good week or more before the wedding, so I can test my reaction to it.
