Can't believe what I have just eaten today after my 12th fast yesterday, for the first time on a fast day I felt very hungry but stuck to my 500 cals,went to bed early and thought of what I wanted for breakfast, not bacaon and eggs but water melon. When I first opened my eyes all I could think of was water melon, got up and had 2 big slices, it went down a treat, thinking this is a good start of the day. Went out for lunch, sweet potatoe fries, chicken and cheese wraps with hummus and flat bread, then 2 beers, a chicken pie, dougnut then popcorn. The funny thing is I don't eat a lot of sweet things, and have cut down on my carbs. 
It was a though my body craved for this, my belly is full but know I will be eating sensibly the next 2 days before my next fast and will be going for a long bike ride tomorrow. Just have to class it as "one of those days".

which allows us to eat like this and not feel that we have 'blown it'. In the past, on one of my many 'diets', a day like that would have led to days or weeks of over-eating plus feeling terrible about loss of willpower, being greedy etc. With 5:2 a day like that can be acknowledged and ignored and then you just carry on as usual!
