In a couple of hrs it will be exactly a week I gave up. Besides the incredible drain of lack of energy and constant tiredness that leaves me literally unable to keep my eyes open and I sleep during the day - everything has been 'okay'.
I found tonight though really really hard and was taken back by my physical and emotional reaction. I went out to get dinner (ugh I am eating more in its place, this is SO NOT GOOD) and was driving along the road to the bottle shop and found it overwhelming, I really wanted to get some drink. This little voice in my head said "what about just drinking saturdays" but deep down I didnt want to, but it was so overwhelming I started to feel dizzy and even broke out in a sweat. Far out.
I rang a friend and just said "tell me not to drink, tell me not to go to the shop" and she talked me thru it until I passed the drive through.
Honestly, I understand now when people say that cravings pass in a very short period of time, because within about 15minutes I was fine.
Thank god I did'nt, it would of really pissed me off if I did.
I'm so down about my weight though, its terrible. The scales are still going up and that is a bit of a worry, usually when I stop within a week I lose immediately a few kilos, but like I said I'm eating in the place of drinking. Totally doing my head in.
Tomorrow is another day, I said the first week was all about stopping the drink, which I have, this week is about not having anymore bad foods. I bought supplements today and heaps of vegies and water.
Wishing myself luck, and everyone else who is trying their best right now.

Glad to see I'm not the only one getting hungrier too, and wanting junk,
