Today is the end of week 2 of this WOE. I am pleased, mostly, at how it's going. Even though I had a few bumps in the road this week, overall, I think this is a plan that I will stick to for the long run. I do not expect to drop huge amounts of weight quickly on this plan, slow and steady will be fine with me. I did sign up for an Easter challenge of losing 15 lbs though, so I must not have another week where a few of my planned fasting days end up falling apart.

I wanted to do 4:3 this week, but things kept coming up where I had to eat sooner than I planned. Now, even though I ate sooner than planned I was careful at the eating time, and I was very careful later in the day. I hope it all evens out; have not stepped on scale yet, I guess I should...OK: 229.2, I'll take it!

Off to accomplish something meaningful today....

For some reason I feel quite down. The weekend was ok but today I feel like there's a cloud above my head :cry: I'm supposed to meet up with my counsellor and I feel like I'm not going to go. I'm fasting today because I don't feel like eating. :frown:

Note to self : What triggered this?

Hi everyone
Just wondering how the little comment below our username works, I see I've gone from "New" to "faster" and that some people are "for life". How is this worked out??
Thanks
Ann :?:

I woke up excited! I cant wait to embrace this way of eating. So today have sort of planned my day as much as I can. I am on annual leave so not sure if that makes things easier or not. So I have had 2 coffees so far and have used some of my 500 cals for milk as I feel one change at a time. Eventually I will try black coffee. I am going to have 2 meals, lunch at 1pm then dinner about 6pm. I have my friends dog staying so my prior arranged visit to costa has become a walk in the park with a very supportive friend.
I told my husband, and whilst he is scepital, which I cant say I blame him! I have tried so many eating plans. But this one is going to work. I am going to do this! And I read somewhere if you are finding it hard to fast just focus on tomorrow when I can eat and I am sure appreciate my food more.
I find this blog really helpful and the forums are excellent. So I may come back later and let you know what my first fast brings.
At the minute tummy rumbling but ignoring it and drinking...

Ugh - slightly hungover today and especially due to lack of sleep. My partner and I wake up intent on consuming as much crappy food to make ourselves feel better. The day was completely uncontrolled:

bfast: rice
lunch: chips with garlic mayo, kebab and vanilla milkshake

Total: 2000 cals

I give to a 4/10 although I always know my Sundays are a disaster
