Day 1 - Spring has sprung

by rix75 on 02 Apr 2013, 19:28

Ok so I'm a little late for the first day of spring but today was the first day of gorgeous sunshine so I'm going to pretend it's spring! Even though it's freezing cold :cry:

So I'm here on 5:2 because my weight is creeping higher and higher and it's got to stop. I feel out of control when it comes to eating but I don't (can't?) face the prospect of some rigid diet.
A few weeks ago I sorted my wardrobe - summer and winter and fat and skinny! The skinny bags were a lot bigger than the fat ones but none of it it fits. I have gorgeous clothes well I like them anyway and I don't want (another) summer where I can't fit into any of my clothes. I feel unhappy at this weight and that's what I want to change. I want to get to my normal weight, the one I was pre and post babies. It's only (I say only in denial??) ten to twelve kilograms but it's enough.
My life has been a bit of a roller coaster, particularly since last summer but if I'm truley honest big cracks in my relationship were around a lot longer than that. So with that side of my life in chaos I want the food side not to be, that's why I think the WOL of the 5:2 is what I need.
So I started Day 1 today - a fast day. No food for breakfast or lunch and a great tomato and vegetable soup for dinner. It wasn't too bad as I was quite busy and two boys eating bacon sandwiches in the car with me at lunchtime wasn't even torture when it normally would be.

So hopefully warmer weather is on it's way and a stronger more in control me too! I will add my measurements tomorrow but I did manage to weigh and this morning it's 69.7 kilograms. My happy weight would be 58 - 60kgs
