Thank you for all your responses, I knew this wasn't just about me!
Firstly I'm going to start with some of my stats - some of you will be bored, some will be interested and most of you will be shocked!
Height - 5'8" (173cm)
Age - 47
Very apple shaped
Heaviest ever weight - 14st 3lb (199lbs)
Weight I started fasting 7/1/2013 - 13st 9lbs (191lbs)
Weight at beginning of 2014 - 11st 10lb (164lbs)
Weight at beginning of 2015 - (11st 8lb) (162lbs)
Lowest fasting weight July 2014 - 11st (154lbs)
Target Weight 10st 10lb (150lbs)
TDEE from my tracker based on moderate activity - 2202
Therefore 2200 x 7 = 15400 calories per week to maintain my weight.
Lets say I'm putting on half a pound a week, ie 1700 cals.
So 17100 calories per week.
I zero cal liquid fast twice a week.
So my daily calorie intake is around 3420!!!!!!!
I'm not surprised that my daily calorie intake is nearly three and a half thousand calories but I am disappointed with myself.
My breakfast is usually porridge (300 cals?), lunch is often homemade soup with either good bread and butter or cheese and crackers (700cals?), evening meal is often a Hairy Dieters meal (700 cals?). Total meals = 1700 cals. The other half is coming from 'treats' - biscuits, crisps, chocolate eaten with my meals and in between.
Secondly, thank you so much for your responses - I am enjoying your tips! I know there are more of you who have the same problem and I suspect we have lost a few forum members for the same reason. I hope we will be able to get ourselves through this. I am really hoping that @peebles and @ssure will be able to give us some insight into this (no pressure) and we can work a way out of it.
@Bracken, you are so right, I cannot go back to the way I was and I am hopeful that we can find a way through this.
@CandiceMarie, I hoped you'd be there as I know you've had a difficult fasting year so value what you say.
@banksia, I was also a size 16 (UK). I no longer have any size 16 clothes in my wardrobe and I'm not going there again!
@carorees, I buy better quality food than I have ever done - no low fat or low cal stuff in our house. When I buy meat I buy it from the meat counter at the supermarket or local butchers. The irony is I combine all this good stuff with junk food which is where my carb intake really takes a hit. My meals are much lower carb (but not 'low carb') than they used to be and my meals haven't really changed much from when I was losing weight while fasting.
@LizBean, I remember the lose a bit, maintain thing and most of the time I have been trying to lose in small chunks. It has only been in the last week or so that I decided to give myself a target weight. Maybe, however, I'm getting impatient.
@Wendy Darling, thanks for reminding me about the turkey photo, that was much fun and put a big smile on my face.
@Azureblue, I used to buy fruit and put it in the bin as it would go off then buy more. That is something I've stopped doing. I might occasionally buy apples and I do buy berries to put in my porridge or have with cream. I haven't looked at Marks Daily Apple for a long time, thanks for the reminder.
@Juliana.Rivers, a huge kick up the backside is what I need and I agree that anytime away from fasting could make it very difficult to getting back into it. I weigh daily and record it in a notebook then record my weight weekly on the tracker. I am a great one for coming up with plan or things I am going to do and rarely succeed at because it is easier to fail than succeed.
@Lil, I know what I write about panic eating and seeing the family eating the good stuff is absolutely nuts, especially as I work on the deli counter in Sainsbury's! I'm in a supermarket 4 times a week for goodness sake

.
@MaryAnn, I'm not eating because I'm hungry, I'm not even eating because I have cravings. I think I'm eating to keep myself full all the time. I am finding the evenings of my fast days can be quite difficult and I think that might be because I am eating too much on my non fast days at the moment. I also think that it can take 2 - 5 years at maintaining our new weights to 'naturally' accept and eat to the new lower TDEE.
@Sarahg, @Loulou51 (good to see you back), @Isis, @Madcatlady, I am really hopeful that more comments will be made on this thread so we can all benefit for it.
@PeonyBlue, you must also be tall as your stats are very similar to mine and you look so slim in your wedding dress. I have practiced mindfulness before and I think that has contributed to me feeling happier and more content so today I downloaded a kindle book from Amazon on mindful eating -
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mindful-Eating-Compassionate-Overeating-Mindfully-ebook/dp/B00LDOMCVC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1420731213&sr=8-2&keywords=mindful+eatingIt is only 60 pages long but it gets 21 5star reviews - got to be worth a read.
@Wmr309, I think you are right. I don't pay much attention any more to when I stop eating the night before a fast and my overeating probably did start by sneaking in the odd biscuit whereas when I first started I did everything by the letter.
@ADFnFuel, you sneaky man, you've got a spy camera in my kitchen, that is exactly what I do. However, I plan my meals on a weekly basis so that when I do my weekly shop I've got the ingredients but I just go into the kitchen and mooch for something else and then another something else. Mind you, I only really plan my evening meals and lunch time is when the overeating tends to be at its worst.
@rawkaren, I can't wait to hear what you have been trying.
I am so sorry this post is so long but I am hopeful that by being honest about me other people might come forward with similar problems and others might have comments that might help us all.
