Today I opened the Forum (after a few days of not checking in) and saw Moogie's post that she has reached her goal. I like the way she has put her 'before' picture and 'now' picture on her profile, so we can see the wonderful transformation. What a great win. Though its taken many weeks/months, she is there now.

Transformation. The road to transformation is a bumpy one for me, but I am hoping that 5:2 will provide, finally, the right rhythm. I have had my struggles the past few weeks, first hormones raving out of control as it was that time of month, and then the struggle to get back on the pony and ride the new program. It is so easy to get off, and so hard to get back on. Then, some emotional things going on regarding friends and lack of community. My normal pattern would have been to go and gorge my troubles away. But I abstained, and THAT for me is the biggest win this week. That right there, is the biggest transformation for me this week, week 5 or 6 or 7 of being on 5:2. Who KNEW?! But for once, I didn't eat my troubles away; I abstained! I stayed the course! I fasted three times this week - Monday, Wednesday and Friday. And though I could have totally thrown in the towel, like I am want (and known) to do - I didn't! The transformation has begun!

So I am down a kilo or so this week, and that's great! But what I am most happy about is that I didn't succomb and I stayed with my goal. The transformation has begun.
