I'm on day 4 of the reset and I'm feeling gross. I know it will pass, but just needed to vent. My brain struggles with the end of the day and having to get more foods in...all the while trying to get to the macros percentages...which HELLO...I fail at everyday, though I'm spending more time reading labels than I ever have. I mean I'm eating well, not loading up on unhealthy foods, which means I'm shoveling food in my mouth all the time b/c it's of the healthy nature. My TDEE is 2125, and it's hard to get there when for a month I've been retraining my mind and body to not need so much, which I know is unhealthy...eating/netting 1300 a day. I could just use some words of encouragement to keep me going. The thought of doing this for more than a week, well, that just isn't fun.

    Almost everyone on this forum is or has experienced the same thing :) You aren't alone!


    I've been thinking of adding in something like Naked Juice daily so I can up my calories with juice instead of more food volume

    Sorry, you are having a rough day.
    I felt like you at the beginning of my reset. It will get easier. Just hang in there.
    i am at the point now, where I can enjoy the food.

    Hey there! Seems like the reset can be kind of an emotional roller coaster at times!
    I have been resetting for 20 days now. This is actually my second attempt at resetting because my first time through I just wasnt ready and had to throw in the towel. I've been blogging about it at http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/momofmyfivekids. Maybe it would help you to see some of the natural phases of this process and that they are just temporary.

    Also remember that the more consistent you can be, the better you will feel physically and emotionally. But yeah, those first few days are hard...and then the hunger that seems to kick in!! Wowsers!

    I've said it before on the reset threads, but this is about long-term success. Anyone can slash their calories and go on and off diets, but we are in this for the long term. A few pounds of water weight is a small price to pay for a lifetime of success!

    One thing that's been helping me is to fill in the next day's diary with protein choices (the whole day), then I round it out with carbs, fats just seem to fall into place. I don't worry if it's not perfect as long as the protein hits at least my Lean body weight.

    I'm liking this method....wonder if I can work this into long term meal planning.......
