I'm hungry.
I ate more than I wanted to yesterday. It was nowhere near my previous binges, and it was all sugar free, but still, I wasn't happy with what I'd eaten.
I wasn't happy that I was able to eat it. I'd noticed a small reduction in appetite and thought I was getting somewhere and then yesterday I felt like I was back at square one.
And I feel a bit like that today.
I had a poke through the facebook support group last night and apparently it's normal for your appetite to go up and down while on Saxenda. So, that eased my mind a bit.
I have to remind myself that I'm not back at square one. I'm still doing something about my weight. I'm still eating healthier than I was.
The other thing that has happened in the last two days, is that I've finished all the optifast products I had in the house. Perhaps, that's why my appetite has come back because I do find those products to be filling.
But, they're expensive and I simply can't afford to do optifast and saxenda.
Trust me, Saxenda is by no means a miracle cure. There are multiple issues at play with obesity and multiple issues that need to be addressed.
But still, its early days. I'm only on 1.2mgs and tomorrow I'll go up to 1.8mg and we'll see what happens next.
I'm still hopeful, still openminded, and the fact that I was feeling some differences gives me hope that I will feel these again.
Onwards and upwards.
