As the title suggest I am new here and new to 5:2. I am preparing to start on Monday but wish for support and advice before I embark on this 'life-changing' positive in my life. (I hope or if it doesnt work I would really feel like a failure)
I am on page 77 of The fast diet of Dr Micheal Mosley and Mimi Spencer's book. I have also watched HORIZON which is the first time I heard of this but thought there wouldnt be anything in paperbag yet as it was quite new until I bought this book. I am convinced and highly motivated(at the moment! haha)
I am 39, around 5' 1",65kg & B.M.I of 26.5 (Weighed 4th February 2013)
My Desired Weight is 50kg.
My weight loss history is terrible. I have tried almost everything with little success. Some with no weight loss at all (Dukan)and some just couldnt stay on it as it wasn't doable (long fasting, atkins etc)
I'm trying to incorporate exercise (as I'm finding love in dancing again) and trying to love myself and not let myself go. As you probably can pick up I am an emotional eater ( when I'm bored, happy, sad, angry, anxious... you name it! lol ) I have lost and gain weight so much so that some people look forward to seeing me just to see if I have gained or lost weight. Its really messing with my head and self esteem as well as my bank account! My huge concern is insomnia and binge-ing!
My first question is I want to know if its a good idea to start this new-me on a work-exercise day (in that order). Will it be too much for my 1st day?
Ok I wrote too much... *just press submittttttttt*
