Having a hard time....

I just started a new diet plan this week and I'm having a hard time because I can't do anything I use to soothe myself. I usually run to something like a Starbucks sandwich and a drink but now I can't have it. It's really hard for me because I'm craving things like that and mashed potatos but I know I can't have them.

It makes my emotions worse. It doesn't help that this diet has thrown me into a depression loop. I know I can have them later on in this journey but that feels so far away right now.

Any advice appreciated. But I guess this was just a brain dump to the web-o-sphere.

    I used to get terrible cravings, the first 2 weeks are the worst. It does get better.

    Are there any little treats that would make you feel better, but that you can still incorporate in your daily kcal allowance?

    Just remember they are hurting their body eating junk. You are healthier and nurturing you body and I’m sure your skin is glowing. Being healthy is the perfect revenge.

    I don't think Keto is a sustainable diet, but when I do it for two weeks ALL my cravings are gone. Then things like vegetables taste awesome and fruits are such a sweet treat. Not to mention I can lose ten pounds easily in those two weeks! But the Keto Flu is real. You have to decide if it's worth it for you.
