first week of my crash diet

I feel tired, constantly irritated. Perhaps it is because of disturbed sleep last night. I woke up at least 4 times between 12 AM and 5:40AM when the alarm woke me up. It was like I would want to sleep but the body would keep me awake. The more I toss and turn, the less sleep I get. The less I sleep, the more irritable I am the next day. That leads to less work and a general feeling of dissatisfaction that permeates my whole world with sadness. The first step towards depression, I am sure, would closely resemble how I feel.

Could it be because of the crash diet that my wife has put me on? The purpose is to make me lose weight, I know and I can very well appreciate it, but I can't bring myself to accept it. I am not hungry but I am tired. My right arm is cramping out. I am unable to keep it on the desk to type. I am unable to give it rest. Two days back it was my right leg that was cramping up. What is going on with my body?

The first three days were horrible. I have cut down on my chapattis and completely stopped taking sugar. The taste of everything seemed to be off. But now after almost one week, I have forced myself to develop the taste of less sugar. I have also started an exercise regimen. I force myself to walk at least 2000 steps every day.

The result has been outstanding. I have lost 2 Kgs weight in the very first week. I now have to force myself to lose 5 kgs more and then I will be quite close to my ideal weight. I need to take another blood glucose test by March end. Keeping my fingers crossed!
