Over the years my weight blew out to 124kgs. At 179 cm that is way too heavy. My initial goal is to work towards under 120kg and then really go for 100kgs . Have found the fast days pretty easy but will need to discipline myself a liitle more on feed days.

Felt so frustrated today and totally demotivated when I got on scales and weighed 3lbs heavier than I did a week or so a go. Just feels like there's so much going on that I don't have enough brain space for it all! :bugeyes:

I think the CBT is going to be a help for me (for the GAD), but I am trying to get back into writing again (and actually keep going this time and not think I am going to fall at the first hurdle) :oops:

But then I'm trying to go running too, and working part time plus looking after the children and walking the dog (that everyone wanted and now no one looks after except me!) as well as trying to make time to write, and trying to plan and stick to fasts - it all feels a bit much today. I kind of want to just pig out and relax this evening, almost to get it out of my system...

Well, the "miseries/ mild depression" continued through the rest of the day yesterday, and I certainly used food hoping it would be a comfort - not that that worked, because I know it doesn't, I just felt bad about overeating and also had the discomfort of a distended belly to put up with!!! But that didn't stop me. I ate dinner when I didn't fancy it at all, because of all the afternoon snacking, and then continued to eat in the evening...

Instead of doing anything productive during the afternoon, I caught up with the TV series that we had missed on our 2 nights out during the week. That was okay, they were all very good shows.

I am not beating myself up over my eating behaviour though. It was only one day and generally I have been going okay. And I am aiming to have a fast day today, with my usual fast day rules - put off eating for as long as possible, but then have sufficient food so as to not go to bed hungry. Will see how I go.

Walked the dogs very late this morning,...

Weight: 8st 7

Yikes, this gastritis is playing tricks on me. Today is my blow out day- I've been looking forward to it all week. I ran 5k this morning but I was quite unwell during it due to the gastritis. However, I do think the acid is lessening - halleluia. The lack of caffeine has to be helping me thinks - and the double dose of meds. I did the 5k in 29 mins which was ok considering I nearly passed out. Had hoped for 27 but no point in pushing myself. Went to Eddie Rockets for dinner - that did not agree with my poor tummy- too rich. I've basically no appetite at the moment - yet I'm putting up weight. My average calorie intake daily is only 1000 cals per day. Surely I have to have lost this week. My only consolation is that my tummy is so bloated and sore that it has to be full of gas which explains it while my clothes are a little looser.

8am: croissant (230)
1pm: french baguette (500), blue cheese(180)
7pm: fries (480), Garlic mayo( 250), 2 mini burgers( 280)

Total 1940 carbs:...

I didn't last very long, 18 months ago. About a couple of months of fasting. Since then I rejoined WW for a whole year, lost a stone, then bounced around putting on, and losing the same 3-7lbs. I return here alsmot EXACTLY the same weight as when I first joined, but a couple of hundred quid lighter!

So. I must make this work, one way or another. I guess I should be a little grateful for being no heavie in 18months, which is a reasonable achievement for someone who is already considerably overweight, has food issues and is staring down the barrel of 50 years (not quite yet though, so that's a good deadline, right?!)

One fast day almost completed, though I feel a bit cheated because I have eaten something dodgy and have horrid cramps and no appetite.

I'd like to have a plan. I'd like to be able to say to myself and the world, or at least this forum, that I am going to lose half a stone quickly then a pound a week, blah blah blah, but I know it is pointless. The real thing is to find...
