Hi all,
It’s a beautiful day here, and have just comeback from a morning.
Mcca, I’m about to get back on it this week, and fasting tomorrow and Tues. I find Back to back ‘easier’ than separating the days! I’m with you in spirit.
Queen, I feel your pain. This time of year, i.e xmas to about April is when I pile on weight, through overindulging on chocolate and biscuits. I have got better on the binge front, as just don’t keep the culprits in my house, I’m a terror with biscuits at work though. I’ll be glad when the whole Easter egg thing has gone and we can get on with the summer!, one more indulgence next week though ๐ I had a sobering moment last week when the Dr told me my Cholesterol was high, moi? Anyway it seems I don’t fit into the lifestyle categories, as such, don’t eat butter or cheese, or meat, don’t smoke and I’m a recovering alcoholic, I also exercise regularly, so it must be the chocolate and biscuits. She didn’t explain why but just said it raises the chance of me having a stroke or heart attack over the next 10 years! I’m hypothyroid which does increase cholesterol. All in all I think it’s a good warning bell, and I’ve been very aware of what I put into my gob!
My core diet is pretty healthy, beans and lentils, yoghurt and nuts, some fruit and veg, it’s the treats that don’t help ๐ The 12 step programme has helped me find some peace and more confidence, and I think it works for all addictions, sugar, wine etc…
I think I shared on the forum that I was giving Latin dance classes, for 3 years, but sadly didn’t break even, so have given those up ๐ I still go to classes, but I’m sure that has added to my weight gain since Jan, Annette I took my waist/belly button measurements ๐ not pleasant, but I’m ready now and hoping for success!
Happy fasting days to all!.
xxx Tango
