I’m supposed to be on a diet, but I’ve raided my fridge. Will it hurt my diet to eat this one time. I was super hungry.

Hello. I’m on a diet too, and i have to say it is damn hard. I would say that this one off thing won’t hurt your overall cause. Just so long as you get back to it tomorrow. Don’t be too hard on yourself.

Thanks. That makes me feel better about it.
I always incorporate a cheat day one day a week anyway so that I don’t feel completely deprived. Plus, a cheat day gives me more motivation to stick with it longer! It can only be ONE cheat day per week though, but it has proven itself successful for me thus far.

It might be good to include exercise with your dieting. You don’t have to be a star athlete, but when you cheat, maybe do a little exercise to work it off. Say you eat two donuts. Go out for a nice, one hour walk. Or maybe ride a bike.

I think allowing yourself a little leeway now and then is good for you. if you’re too strict with the diet you may be more likely to go off of it. Just be careful not to give yourself too much leeway. Like someone said, you can get back to it tomorrow.

Im the damn opposite. My appetite has gone out the window. I used to rely on a joint to give me the munchies - but since quitting im never hungry. Ive lost a stone already - and cant afford too cos i was only 12 stone to begin with. Its not that i dont have food - i have two chest freezers full of food - just lost interest in it. Im living of heavily sugared tea at the moment. Just saying - there are people at the opposite end of the spectrum that have difficultys as well.
Im gonna get some build-up drinks - no wonder im so tired lately.

Maybe you could ask your pdoc to refer you to a nutritionist or something. This post worries me. You are likely malnourished from not eating enough. Take care of yourself.

Thank you for the concern. Actually left 3 messages with my CMHT - and my social worker has been off sick since november last year.
They seem to not want to answer me - since i put a complaint in - and its making me paranoid.
Yeah ive lost alot of wieght - sorry to say, but its true - if i had a bit of weed to smoke - it would give me an appetitie and i would eat like a horse - at the expense of my mental heath.
If i lose any more weight - dont worry - ill get myself down to the gp x

If I raid the fridge here all I’m gonna find is like some old mustard and a fig.

I remember years ago Dad woke up late on a Saturday, and us kids had eaten all of the food in the fridge. So he opens the fridge door…takes a look inside…then says…
“Great! I guess I’ll have a butter sandwich!”
Me and my brothers and sisters couldn’t stop laughing.

Yes please go to your gp if you lose anymore weight. Your social worker has been sick for 2 months? I guess I will give her the benefit of the doubt and say that I hope she gets better soon, although it sounds fishy to me. Hmm… Weed is bad for schizophrenics and it’s illegal in quite a few states and countries. Maybe your gp will have something they can give you to increase your appetite.

My dad used to eat sticks of butter, make butter sandwiches, and spread butter on crackers. I thought it was gross, lol.

Yeah i know the weed is bad - thats why i quit it. My social worker is male - and hes been difficult to deal with from day one. I emailed the nhs trust that employs him with a complaint - and the CMHT has been distant ever since. tossers.
I will go on the complan and build up drinks. All the food i taste seems foul. I cant afford to lose any more weight - its getting me down. And whats getting me down further is that my mental health team dont seem to give a toss.
I will manage - i always fumble thru it somehow. Cheers x
