almost at 140...once I hit it..will try 5:2..and once I hit 135..have to see if I am going to continue 5:2 to lose more bodyfat..or continue on to 6:1...

Since I have loads of bodyfat...I think I will continue to go down in weight..lots slower..but it will still go down once I hit 135.

The goal is to be 135 on non-fasting days

Day two of my 5:2 and I'm definitely feeling more hungry now but I think I'm quite fatigued through work and could hit the sack, should be home by 8 so mucho haddock for me!

I walk past a chippy, Indian, Chinese, Italian and a greasy chicken place on my walk to the train station and I'm gonna enjoy the smell and enjoy my dinner even more. Totally gonna enjoy an ice cold beer for celebrating no takeaway!

Week 2 of my return to fasting.....with Fast#4 just about under my belt.

Am 4:3ing this week as I can't trust myself to behave on the non-fast days! This isn't really funny, so I don't know why I have put an exclamation mark.....

Am I supposed to embrace this appalling habit as being a facet of my (flawed) personality? Or should I strive to correct it? Is there a happy medium, I ask myself. Talk about a conundrum! So much of this is tied up in the practice of comfort eating. Trying to fill huge emotional voids with food. When will I get it that the void...

So. I did my first fast today... and it wasn't half as difficult as I thought it might be... though I didn't sleep much last night and didn't get out of bed until nearly lunch time. :sleepy:

I have 600 calories to work with, so I planned a large-ish lunch (whole can of Soup/stew and 1/2 cup of quinoa) I think on Wednesday, I'll divide it up, into 3 small meals, or switch and have a bowl of soup for lunch and stew for dinner...

I like that I can eat whatever, theres no rules in that regard.

I found up some casserole/stew type recipes, which I think will be a good idea, because I can have heaps of veg, and I can freeze it into portions. :clap:

I haven't told anyone that I'm doing it, to be honest I don't see how it's anyone's business, but everyone has an opinion on how you should lose weight. I...
