Hello all!
It's a big holiday in Greece today and tradition wants everybody to eat fried cod with garlic mashed taties. I usually cook it for my family but this time a friend of mine and I decided to head to a restaurant that specialises in seafood and has a very good all-you-can-order deal.
To be honest, I was terrified of today. It was after the weekend (when I usually eat and drink more) and when I go to this place I just can't stop eating.
This time it was different. Not just today but the entire long weekend. I ate less than I expected on all days and today I managed to stop almost when I felt full. I even had less ouzo than I usually do!!! And I only had two ts of the on-the-house dessert and no ice cream later.
This is all new to me, I am rather surprised, I wonder if I was abducted by aliens and they replaced me with a sensible clone of mine...
It's fasting day tomorrow and I'm looking forward to it. It will be the first time that I won't be at home, so I've already packed some fruit and corn&rice cakes for when I get hungry. My thought is to try it tomorrow and if I fail I will fast properly on Wednesday, when I'll be at home almost all day.
I know it's too soon to tell if I'll lose any weight but I really like the new mentality that 5:2 is introducing to my life!!!
