Haha I'm getting to that stage now! Trying to last as long as possible before eating and grumpily texting my boyfriend. I think one of the problems is I've been in all day and have therefore been thinking only of what I'm depriving myself of.
Luckily my boyfriend and I are long-distance but I'll warn my housemates.
Good to hear that it passes! I hope your 5:2 experience is going well, sounds like it is!
, but for me it is hard to distinguish from my usual symptoms anyway. I'm at home on my own, but I'm suspecting that when I have to deal with other people, I may find myself a little grumpy! 
Hope the rest of your day goes well.
