Think of it as the chore it is - think of all the other things you'd rather be doing. Do get in the fluids and do get in the protein shakes, but this is the time to re-teach your brain about food. Your relationship with food can become a healthy one if you really embrace this time.

Good luck and keep going!

Excellent points and tips. I need to get a mantra going while my brain is wired this way: "Eat to live".

Our bodies are so damned efficient when it comes to fuel... why can't my car be this fuel efficient?
