Morning everyone – hope everyone is ok. Angie, think it would be a great idea for you to escape to London for a few days. Have some time to think and a bit of clear headspace will probably do you the world of good.

JFitzy and LD am fasting today as well. Think I am going to have to do another back to back fasting due to awkward work things BUT am going on holiday in 4 days time!

LD – I told a fried of mine that I had lost a stone and he looked at me and said you always look the same to me, so totally with you on the no-one noticing!!

Have a great day everyone and happy fasting! 🙂

Thank you Jenki!
good luck on your fasting, wow, that’s fantastic, bet you are getting excited about your holiday now!!
as for your friend, as we say here, he should have gone to Specsavers!!!!!!! ( spectacles company) silly moo grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

have a lovely day xxxxxxxx

Afternoon ladies!

I have been so busy today I have just realised that it is nearly time to go home and not a morsel has passed my lips – yeah that means a 500 calorie dinner for me tonight!!

Angie it is normal to feel torn just take your time and see how you feel over the next few days.

Have a great evening all and speak tomorrow 🙂 xxx

Hello everyone,

Angie sounds like you’re coping must be so difficult knowing what the best thing to do is. We’re behind you whatever happens.

Well done fellow Monday fasters – I’m very much looking forward to my dinner a little later on – day has gone well though. Ploughing on towards my first stone – no one has really noticed my weight loss yet but I have, my bellie is definitely smaller – can’t see my navel just yet but one day soon maybe!!!

Glad work has changed Little Dragon, must be such a relief to have got away and exciting (if somewhat strange) working with new people.

Ha ha Kilda we’re all a bit dozy over the pond today, must have been the glorious sunshine yesterday, we’ve all over done it!

Right time for that dinner!

x

Evening all,

Hope you are all ok and your evening is a good one, LD hope you are not working late!
Kilda that book sounds interesting, thank you for the suggestion, will look it up!

Hilly thank you too, yes its difficult but for now its one step at a time, but i have made up my mind that if i find out he is still lying or there is still some communication going then thats it, i wont leave but i will talk divorce then as there wouldnt be any point living a lie…

Enough of that, have a good night peeps, take care and well done all the fasters!! Xxxx

Morning everyone!

hope you are all ok, fasting today so I hope am not alone! feeling a bit drained today, things keep going round my head and I get the urge to throw at him some facts I still don’t understand but then I don’t because he is just not going to tell me anyway…. I stupidly texted this woman and asked her what was going on but of course she never replied…

well today is another day, i’ll keep going..

have a lovely day and take care buddies!! xxxxxxxxxxxx

Morning all

Where has the sun gone 🙁

How are you today Angie? I wouldn’t give that woman the satisfaction of texting her (sorry don’t mean to be blunt 🙂 ) but you don’t want her to think she has got to you. Maybe you should write down everything you want to ask your OH and give it to him and say you want some sensible answers from him by the weekend. By writing it down you can be more clear and precise and also you won’t end up in a slanging match or say things either of you will regret. Hope your fast goes well today x

LD that is great that you left early make that a habit and they won’t expect you to stay late all time! 🙂

On a non-fast day today; went to the gym at 6.30 for an hour and then had 2 boiled eggs for breakfast; I have an avocado and feta salad for lunch and dinner will be decided upon when I get home this evening. Probably roasted veg and sausages or chicken and roasted veg.

Have a good day all and speak later x

morning all – Angie, I’m fasting too today. I tried to get up for an early walk with the dog again today but it was just too dark out there at 5. In fact it’s still dark out there. Ah well, will try again tomorrow.

LD, your work sounds so much better – will you be at this new place long term now?

That’s great Kilda!!

I went for early morning walk with dogs but its very overcast here today, not nice but at least its staying dry…

How’s your fast going so far? I didn’t have anything this morning,just coffee so waiting for around midday to eat something, maybe a yogurt, not sure yet but it’ll be very little cals as I want to keep most for this evening 🙂

have a good one!! hope it brightens up where you are!! xx

Hi Kilda that happens sometimes. Yesterday, because I was so busy, I didn’t have time to think about food and managed to get through until 8pm!! Other times I am starving all day. Today I am not fasting and I have been to the gym and I just had lunch now! It is all psychological if you ask me!! 🙂

Good luck for the rest of your fast day

Ha ha I have just realised that my lunch today was a whopping 530 calories – unbelievable as it was mainly rabbit food!! It was a delicious healthy salad with wheat, avocado and feta with a mint dressing. As it looked as if it was a very healthy salad, I hadn’t bothered to look at the label which goes to show how easy it is to go over your TDEE when not watching closely. I think maybe that is why some people complain 5:2 doesn’t work – they might not be watching their calories too closely on the non-fast days.

Luckily I have plenty of calories left for dinner but I just thought it was food for thought (hee hee excuse the terrible pun!!!) 🙂

Until tomorrow x

I know Hilly66 – mad. I was in a hurry so just grabbed a salad that looked healthy!! I normally have a huge soup for less than half that amount. Anyway I will still be within my TDEE just! Have a good evening 🙂

evening ladies! Had a big salad for dinner which came in under my 500 cal and I’m stuffed. A few chunks of fresh pineapple for dessert. For some reason this was a long, hungry fast day, but it’s behind me now.

JFitzy, I think the culprit in your salad was the amount of fat in the avocado and the feta. That sounds really good though, and avocados are really good for you.

LD thank you for asking!

I am ok, no no more texts lol, but I found some disgusting stuff on his pc and the pic of a woman he swears doesn’t know how it got there, hahaha!!
I am just too numb and cold to confront him now…

Hooray with the skirt!! you go girl, well done you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! told you you will need to go shopping very soon, fantastic!! 🙂

hope your fast goes well, stay strong, and have a good day too!

take care xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

awww thank you LD you are sweet!!!

believe me, and I mean this, if I could pack up and leave I wouldn’t hesitate…but we are married, and I have my dogs whom I cant bear to leave behind… that is why I want to stay close by if I do eventually go… its all so complicated, its going to take a lot of thinking and practicalities too..
financially I am not in a position to rent anywhere, not now anyway… so I am going to sit tight, something will have to give, it has to!!!

anyway enough of me lol, am sure you’ll do ok on your fast today, its only for today and tomorrow will come quickly!!
hope work is ok too, take care and thank you again xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Morning all – what a lovely day!!

Angie I am not in position to comment on your situation but as LD says your OH doesn’t sound like a very nice person. I cannot begin to imagine how difficult it must be for you but you have rights and he will know that. You should speak to the Citizens Advice Bureau as it is free.

LD well done on the skirt girl – that is fantastic news. You can always get it taken in at the cleaners if you really like it!! I feel like I have hit a plateau as my clothes don’t feel any looser but maybe I am just used to being slimmer (ha ha). My Mum is coming to stay next week and I haven’t seen her since 3 January (started 5:2 on 6 January) so it will be interesting to see if she notices (unlike your Mum) 🙂 🙂 🙂

I am fasting today; have some fruit for lunch and then a chicken stir fry for dinner.

Have a lovely day one and all and speak later x

Thank you guys, you’re all right of course 🙂

LD I have to keep a cool head otherwise I would just fall apart, I am a strong person but inside it feels like something’s died… but if I dwell and dwell on it all, I feel like am going mad..don’t want to go down that road…

JFitzy, we have a welfare assistant at work and I am going to arrange to see her, she is a gem, seen her on many occasions before and she is great!

As for your mum noticing, if, and I doubt she will, does not notice, send her packing to Specsavers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂

you two have a good fast today, and a lovely day xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thank you JFitzy xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Jenki2 I certainly will give my Mum grief if she doesn’t notice!! 🙂 Where are you going on holiday? I have to wait until 5 June before I go but I am going to Dubai for a business trip in a few weeks so will get to see some sunshine there!

LD I too get cold hands and feet but only in the office – it is boiling in summer and cold in winter. I never feel the cold (too much blubber!!) so my hubby says he has married an Eskimo 🙂 🙂

Just had 2 satsuma oranges and a diet coke – that should keep me going until my stir fry tonight me hopes!
