Right now I will get to the present. I am on the train in the middle...heading towards end of a fast day. I am hoping this one keeps being as easy as it seems and I don't fly into another semi binge @ 8pm! Lordy Lordy :bugeyes: Today I had my soup for bfst and whilst I am hungry I feel as I did for the first 10 fasts, fine and tomorrow I will have that which I might fancy today.

Tomorrow I do my weekly weigh in - pants feel tight today but that could be cos of these shorts. I shall wait and see. I had a big weekend last weekend with a guest staying plus friends over fir dinner. All vego but fattier and carbier than normal. However I didn't go overboard. Will save this as internet may cut out on train...TBC

It's January 2013, I am 43 years old, haven't got on the scales in months - cos I am too scared to.....

I need to do it tho, if I am going to try 5:2 then I need to know where I am starting from....

Ok.... 1st thing in the morning, used the loo, no clothes.... Just me and the scales.... 10 stone 10..... Not my heaviest ever but worse than I hoped.... That put my BMI into overweight, and I got the tape measure out for good measure....

A veteran of toning tables, I measured all the key places that were taken to record inch loss, and noted the measurements ....
Bust, under bust, waist, abdomen, hips, top of thigh, above the knee, calf and upper arm...

Waist was 31 inches so put me just under a 50% ratio - could have been worse, but I do tend to carry weight on my hips and thighs

Now I needed to find the strength to get through that first day.....

I hadn't really read much yet so, I set off for work having had just coffee for breakfast, with a box of salad for lunch, and a plan to use...

Last week because of live and commitments I could only 5:2 which meant I've had longer feed days all together- and I was BAD this weekend, lots of cream cakes and eating out and carbs carbs carbs. I'm paying the price for it today- I have pretty much gained back ALL of the weight I lost...Just in a weekend, is that really possible?????? I'm going to be super strict with myself this week- 3 really good fasts, low carbs, lots of water. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: ...

Day 1. I opted to skip breakfast, I don't know how people stretch 500 cals into 3 meals but I know I can't! Shame because I love breakfast, but then I love lunch and tea - and cake - and ... anyway, that's what got me into this mess.

Hunger was most surprisingly bearable. The worst of it was not drinking tea. I tried it black, just didn't enjoy it. I did use up some calories at lunch to have a cup, bliss! I had a salad with roast chicken and a weight watchers yoghurt. Oddly enough I didn't feel much hungrier than I normally do. In the evening I had some white fish and veg and then I went running, assuming I would pass out after half a mile.. again, shocked that my running was much the same as normal and when I got back I wasn't even hungry. Showered and really had difficulty sleeping! SO hungry! Breakfast the next day was fabulous!! Fast day two was much the same, I ran again in the evening (just the way it worked out) and the rest of the week I didn't control my eating but I have a good...

Only one fast which is not good. It all hit the fan with another crisis with dear demented dad. Strategy in place but relevant people are on holiday. It has distracted me big time which I had thought I had changed. I feel fat and a failure but know only I can turn this around. New week ahead and hope to be in control.
