I’ve just started week 2 and currently on my 3rd fast day, it feels such a relief to finally find a way to be in control!! My fast days are mondays and thursdays for now as this seems to be fitting in quite well with my shift patterns and life in general, i have decided to water fast on fast days because i have a feeling that if i eat anything it will make me want more so i’m guessing its best for me to stay away from food 😉 and for now i’m coping quite well with the water fast.
I’ve decided not to weigh myself as i have a tendency to start obsessing over numbers, and i don’t want to go back down that road, i feel i’m happier just having my 2 fast days and then eating normally but sensible for the rest of the time as i can see and feel results already. I’m a size 12 at the moment and would like to get back to a size 10 and then i am planning to maintain from there.
The thing that has shocked me the most is i have some how managed to control my wine problem, without even really trying to. I’m actually astounded by it and rather confused! As in i am not entirely sure how this has happened to me. Working long hours, soon as i return home i am straight to the bottle of wine, the whole bottle, every night that i am not working.i would also ‘reward’ myself with wine. After finishing all my chores and errands on my days off i would quite happily knock back a whole bottle, and here i am tonight relaxing and i have absolutely no urge or need to drink wine. I am completely fine sitting here with a pint of water. Last saturday evening i had 2 glasses of wine with my dinner and xfactor 🙂 and that was it! I just wasn’t bothered at all about having anymore than that. I know this is still early days for me but i just hope this continues as i never thought i could part with my wine and when i have tried it has been complete misery, but not anymore!
Anyway, i have been hopping around this forum for a while reading up on 5:2 before i decided this was for me. And i’m so glad i did. I have read people’s journeys and find so many of you a complete inspiration and extremely kind people. Holly
