A lesson learned
Posted: 25 Jun 2013, 20:13
Wasnt sure where to post this but here goes... I started 5:2 on 1 May and am really enjoying this way of eating. In the last 2 weeks I've incorporated 16/8 on the non-fast days. I've had some weight loss and now my weight goes up and down. So feeling a little disappointed I decided yesterday that I would just stick to 5:2 and see how it goes so today was a full feed day after yesterday's fast. I had porridge for breakfast this morning and have not been able to stop eating since. I have ate, and ate and ate all day today. I dont even want it but havent been able to stop. Right now I have just put away half a bag of yoghurt coated banana chips. They are sweet and sickly and I feel sick. Whilst it made a nice change eating breakfast this morning, I will be happier going back to 16/8 because I find I can easily stick to it and can easily stop when my eating window has closed. I'm disappointed that I havent noticed better weight loss, but when I weigh it up (excuse the pun), I'd rather be able to limit my noshing to 8 hours than have free-reign for the whole day because I really go to town. For whatever reason, I cannot be sensible when I have the whole day to eat as I please. I just needed to get that out there. Thanks for reading. Tomorrow is another day and I'll be so glad to get back on track. Sod the weightloss!
