Started this WOE on 30/12 & weighed myself yesterday. I have apparently lost 5.49lbs! I know its an anomaly as I think my start weight was taken when the scales were right out of the box mid-afternoon & I usually weigh in the morning.
Nevertheless it is an encouraging start & I might need to up my Valentine's Day Challenge target.
I've always said that my weight problem was no-ones fault but my own. I was the one that put the food in my mouth. I was active & a healthy weight until I got married. Mum never made us sit at the table until everything was eaten. I moved to a different part of the country ( a different country a little later) & stopped my athletics & badminton so it was all downhill from there. I find it hard not to eat everything on my plate. I only eat food I love & if I'm enjoying it, I want to eat it all. I trained at catering college, love food & love to cook. Recipe books are my bedtime reading. Since starting this WOE I have had to leave food. I need to get to grips with portion control or I'm going to waste so much food.
Take care all.

I also love good food but you should find that as you have completed more fasts your appetite will decrease. Staying away from sugary food & low fat stuff. & substituting fruit & natural fats like butter, olive oil & coconut oil in small quantities will help your body. I think it has been accepted by many on here that processed low fat & so called diet foods with trans fats & added preservatives & sugars confuse our bodies because they can't properly digest that man made rubbish. Unfortunately the continuing dieting mantra of eat low fat & high carbohydrate is unhelpful & confusingly still supported by health advisers.
