A Pattern Emerges

I haven't received my nutritional pack yet so nothing to say really about future meals. I have however, noticed a pattern emerging in my diet. For the past two days I have gone all day at work with the bare necessity of food, as in, a normal diet. And then, after my dinner (evening meal) I get the most incredible desire for chocolate, or something sweet, literally minutes after my main meal. I can't think why this would be the case. Yesterday it was mini bounty bars and today it was two kitkats and a chocolate donut. Then I haven't eaten anything for the rest of the night. I'm told that Chromium supplements can help ease the sugar cravings, so I'll wait until I know how much I'm meant to be taking.
I've tried to cut down on the amount of diet drinks I'm having. I'm cutting down to one can a day. It worked yesterday, but tonight I've got one beside me for my night drink. I guess I eat all that chocolate, then about now I'm feeling a bit sick, and the diet drink makes me feel better - I've no idea if that's pyschological or physiological.
One last thing to note, it was suggested to me, that if I need a fizzy drink then I should find one in which Xylitol is the sweetener and not aspartame. I haven't found one yet! Aspartame could potentially cancel out the hormone medication I am taking... I have found many drinks with sucralose, but I haven't quite figured yet whether this is OK or not. Something for me to investigate.

Add-on to "The Beginning"

I'm starving already

The Beginning

Tonight I spent 90 mins on the phone to a nutritionalist. Previously I sent her a health questionnaire, and admittedly before emailing it to her, I thought all the symptoms I said I had, it looked like I was on death's door. It made me wonder whether its just normal for a human being to have irritability, mood swings, aching muscles, tiredness etc. But apparently not. In the next couple of days I will be sent a list of foods I am to try/avoid and supplements to be taken. Then I need to plan a menu for myself during the next two weeks, as soon I'm to attempt being wheat free/aspartame free for 28 days..

What on Earth will I do without Cinnamon Swirls and Diet coke? Anyway, in the meantime I'm posting research on the net, recipes, thoughts and fears about the whole process.

And while I'm on the subject - I'm not going to list my daily food content but I will start with saying that I ate two chocolate bars today and a packet of crisps.

My first change? I have water for my night drink, instead of Diet Coke :(
