well- something different you might say!!! but the way I lok at it I am just getting ready for tomorrow- the smell all over the house is incredible and i probably wont be able to sleep because the bread and the cookies smell so nice but the good thing is- I did not succumb!!! Willpower is a fantastic thing and I am sooo proud of myself that I did not have any of my lovely baking- I CAN WAIT TILL TOMORROW!!
We had another quite horrendous work day- the weather is not on our side- stormy cold does not make for a good fast day but then what is a good fast day weatherwise???
It is all in the mind- and I am learning to switch off and just get on with it- as long as I can drink I am ok.
Weigh-in tomorrow!!! and then a weekend of visitors and munchies!!

Well, the dementia team went to see dad yesterday. They listened to what I had said and wrote down the questions so were able to start doing the assessment. It is not finished and the next part will be done with my daughter present as she is his main carer. It is likely that we will have to pay for extra services but at least he will be on someones radar. Also, at last his condition can be measured. I am trying to stop him keep getting the bus into town as he is finding it increasingly difficult to manage. I have also had to stop his access to the bank due to making poor financial decisions. I have the power of attorney. My daughter will now do all his shopping and we have set up an account with a mini cab firm to take him to and from the weekly RAF club and trips to the library. My daughter will give him weekly pocket money for incidentals. He is visited by a lovely man from Age UK every other week and I am looking at arranging for someone to take him out for coffee and a bun the weeks...

I have a terrible relationship with food. No, I have HAD a terrible relationship with food. What does it tell you that just writing those two short sentences brought tears to my eyes? Food has dominated my life from a very young age. I have been on diets since I was 18 - that is 26 years ago. I've had some success, my greatest was losing nearly 4 stone with Slimming World, but I've put 2/3s of it back on and re-joined SW after Christmas to stop the constant ballooning weight - it didn't.

My head wasn't in it. If my brain doesn't buy into the activity the body just won't play the game. From January to mid-march I was on just about the most self destructive food gig of my life.

Whilst going through the motions of 'following the plan' I was abusing the diet in ways that make me ashamed. I've told no one this and only write it now because this is anonymous. I was eating large bags of Revels almost daily, sneaking bread and slathering it in very, very thick 'Clover' and snaffling...

I :heart: 5:2

I'm 54.9 kg as of this morning. Thrilled to bits. I've lost 19.7% of my body weight and am now healthy on all measurements. I'm still aiming to replace more of my body fat with muscle and need to firm up the flab round my middle. I will allow up to 2kg more weight loss as a buffer zone, but I'm happy with my size now :cool:

Thank you Dr Michael Mosley!
