Moral to the story: the social aspect of PCP will be just as challenging as the physical.

Day 2: hungry
Already feeling the effects of 1/2, a bit hungry and light headed all day (1/2 banana for breakfast, 1/2 chicken/hummus wrap for lunch). But the toughest part was going to a Jamaican restaurant for dinner and rationing the jerk chicken, jerk pork, spicy wings, peppered shrimp, fish soup, festival and red stripe while everyone else around was gorging themselves....

Yep. I'm not brave enough to try going out with friends just yet. I am on Sunday though, so we'll see how that goes.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, I'm finding it easier to eat half when I buy lunch than when I try and make something for dinner. I order/buy whatever I would normally eat, then split it down the middle and look forward to eating the rest of it later as leftovers.
Drinking a lot of water can help with the hunger too, or it's helped me, anyway.
Jason,
ReplyDeleteI agree completely with the social challenge. Ordering a small beer and only eating half of a delicious pasta dish was really tough when everyone else was indulging. I started to move the plate and the glass farther away from me, so I'd be less tempted. Maybe your friends will help keep their yummy foods out of your reach!
Doesn't help now, but it WILL get better! Stick with it.
