Just when ya thought it couldn't get any more stupid, it does. I'm almost done with the program and things were going well. I decided to set some goals for myself and work toward them like Lucinda said. One of my goals was to lose some weight which I'm working on. I decided to join Jenny Craig. If anyone is familiar with this, they provide u with all ur food but it all equals to only 1200 calories a day. I CAN'T TELL U HOW BAD THIS IS STRESSING ME OUT! I'm so worried that I'm gonna pass out from lack of calorie intake, it's actually giving me panic attacks. How stupid is that?! I even asked the lady at the Jenny Craig center, "don't people did from such lack of food and calories?" She looked at me like I was nuts. I'm totally freaked out thinking I'm gonna die or pass out from starvation. Just when I thought I was over scary thoughts and panic attacks, trying to do something positive for myself has really set me back:-( Anyone else scared of starving to death, or am I the only nutcase on the planet?
no, your'e not weird or crazy because if you are then i am. i get worried about my bloodsugar and everything when ever i diet. Just keep a snack on you ( like a nutra-grain bar) and if you feel sluggish then eat it. But i know the dizziness i feel is from me thinking i'm going to feel dizzy, not form lack of food

I know... well what gets me through my diets/working out are telling myself things like...
1. it's ok to have feelings of anxiety b/c i'm changing the way i eat and my daily rotuine.
2. Hey if i feel like i need an extra 100- 200 calories i'm going to eat it, especially if i worked out today. it won' make that big of a difference.
3. i know i will have feelings that make me "think" i need to eat a ton of sugar but those are just cravings and they will eventually weaken. so many people diet, i'll be fine etc.
- i hope this helps , i am using the p90x nutrition plan and it is 1800 calories or so a day. the work out is supposed to burn 600 of that right away leaving 1200 : )

I'm there too. I'm way to concerned with eating. I sometimes act like the lightheadness is coming from not eating enough, although I'm lightheaded when I'm full too.
I'm on the fat smash diet. The first stage is for 9 days. In this stage there's no meat, bread, and a lot of other stuff. I'm on day 6 and I'm doing well. Although those negative anxious thoughts come in, I just push them right back out because I need to lose weight. And I'll be eating meat again in 3 days, almost 2 days.
You'll do fine. Just keep thinking about how great you are gonna feel when youlose that weight.
