pattycake118 Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Good luck on the chocolate!Word of warning - every time I quit it for a while, I eat so much after! So, pay attention to see if it's something that happens to you too. I find it helps to just get the expensive stuff and have a square or two when I want it (that said, I have just about demolished a party bag of peanut m&m's in two weeks). 1 Quote || pattycake118 establishes routine || fitbit || MFP |||| Level 3|| STR 3 || DEX 1 || STA 2 || CON 6 || WIS 3 || CHA 2 || Link to comment

Figure I need to try something so yeah the 75% cocoa chocolate is worth a try, but would like to go without it for a week first. I have found coconut spread is a nice sweet substitute.

Anther physio session wed night - hopefully better before pt session on Thursday. Starting to feel a lot better in myself, a bit more energy and not really craving sugar which is definitely a good thing! I really hope I can stick to it this time round. Need some sort of stability and something measurable! Quote Link to comment

Still unable to do any excercise with these horrid headaches though - physio did say though it would feel worse before getting better, hoping for improvement tomorrow with next physio session. No aims at this stage with excercise, but keeping meals to a minimum to try and stay on track Quote Link to comment
