I have dabbled before in 5:2 but am now starting in a committed way as I really want to (a) lose weight (b) Change my relationship with food and (c) improve my overall health. I had major abdominal surgery in 2017, a life saving event, and said then that it was a life changing moment but it has taken me until now to have the confidence and resolve to make this change. I feel ready and start today with my first fast day.

Thanks very much. You too.
