One of the several pleasing effects i am noticing from 5:2 is that i am not getting that horrid 4 o clock dip these days
Anyone who gets it will know it makes you feel grouchy, tired,cold,empty,and miserable. An apple or orange doesnt cut it,you have to have something carby/sweety and calorific.
the man in my life said to me the other day,What's happened to your 4 o clock dip? I could tell that he was quietly happy not to have to deal with midafternoon grumpy me any more! ;0)
Overall i feel as if my body is giving a little hop and a skip as everything feels more balanced internally! Does that sound mad? My body seems happier.
Learning so much - even patience like Julianna just mentioned on another thread - learning that i can wait til next day for something i want..I was always an" instant gratification" girl..now becoming a fan of " delayed pleasure" and then sometimes finding,its not what i wanted after all! X

I think its a bit easier now I work for myself though as when I was working in an office, there was always cake and stuff hanging around which made it rather easy to satisfy those 4pm cravings, so maybe I'm not a great example. Be interesting to note what happens at 4pm today for me!
