Three pound gain over Christmas.  Now the effort starts to ditch it.  Bit disappointed I didn’t lose any yesterday because I did adhere to the 8 hour eating slot but I think my giant sarnie followed by two types of Christmas cake was the problem.  Nerves are slightly less frayed as younger son has apologised for Christmas behaviour but property wars start now which makes me feel so on edge.  You are only as happy as your unhappiest child!  

169

Christmas eating and only a 2 lb gain.  Goodness me.
Well, maybe I didn’t overdo it as much as I thought.  I now have to get back to 166 which was my terrifying post wedding trauma weight.

Back to 16:8 fasting plan.  

178

It was 179 yesterday.  Back from amazing Italian eatathon.

Sober October.  16.8 fasting but not today.

175

Shoot me.  Blissful break in Suffolk.

171

What am I doing right?  Fast 800.  I go way over 800 cals but it is less meals.  By eating two meals a day and swerving snacks the drop is dramatic.  Oh wow.  Don’t know how I will have done at SW because there is always that thing of clothes, time of day and what it was last week.  

173

In a desperate bid to get into this dress, once I have finished making and altering it, I am on a 1,000 calories a day diet.  I might die of hunger.  Actually I ate 3,000 yesterday.  

174

Going down.  Four days of no Mr Smith makes it easy peasy.  A bit of military diet and military determination.  Nice weigh in at SW at 1lb down.  Ended up in a bit of a gin fest with Suzanne but none planned for today.  

174

How come I am SO desperado to do a poo but when it comes, feeling like a giant sack of potatoes, it is harder to push out than a baby?  Answer: Dulcoease.  Forget leafy veg and oats and all that crap, it doesn’t work.  Nor does lots of water.  But one sure thing that does get a stubborn Poo out is starvation.  You can honestly starve out a poo.  Of course you need to be a young person not an oldie who poos a teensy bit once a fortnight.  So here goes folks.  Nil by mouth for 24 hours and my Bowen will empty, Mark my words.  I might actually take the ease stuff so when the mountain boulder decides to roll out it can do so without splitting me in two.

173

Actually this is easy.  Down from 180 in a week, good grief, amazing!  No snacking.  No booze.

179

I watched a mini documentary about a lady who is addicted to sugar.  She couldn’t go fir longer than an hour without eating something sweet.  I suddenly realised that is me!  Oh God.  I can’t go longer than 4 hours without sugar.

Today is no food only water day.  Do you think I can actually do it?  I will be mighty hungry by 11am let alone 11pm.  Really I need to do this to sort out my digestion and help get me off sugar.  Just one day with no food.  I can’t remember when I last felt hungry.  I know I hate hunger.  I will have to celebrate it as a sign that my diet is working.

176

This is weird.  No matter how much I stuff myself with cake and sarnies and sausage rolls I am not gaining weight.  Very odd indeed.  I am currently stuck in some sort of strange binge fest from which I seem unable to escape.  

O

178

It could be worse.

179

Eat eat eat totally out of control.  Hate food.  I am stuffed and it is morning.  Back to old ways.

Despite huge walk and not too much dinner I still piled it on.  Mrs Fatty Fatso.  Will I honestly get those 4lbs off in 5 days.  And it’s bank holiday.

Plan for today
Light breakfast
Salad lunch
Roast dinner.

Beach day today.

175

Oh woe is me.  Am I to be this hideous weight forever?  

176

Going the wrong way due to Fat Friday.

175

Bad day.  Lovely day.  I didn’t eat until 2pm.  It was lunch at SW.  Delicious chicken curry and rice.  Then I went to the tea shop and ate 2,000 calories.  I had cream tea followed by millionaire’s shortbread.  I was celebrating my 4lb weightloss.  Then it was dinner at the golf club.  A good 2,000 there.  Dinner there again tonight.   But I feel full.  For the first time all week I am not bloody starving.

174

This would be so exciting if I hadn’t been here before a hundred times.

175

800 calories. I am starving.  Two weeks of this?  You must be bloody joking.  

175

This is not fair.  I eat so little.  I must lose weight.  I suspect my body has not yet starting eating its own fat despite me not giving it an awful lot more.  Perhaps my fat doesn’t look very appetising and food would be preferable.

Bloody hell, make me thin.  

175

oh I hate this weight.

174

This is weird.  I am eating 800 cals, or as near as possible, and I am not hungry.  Mmmm interesting. 

175

Small anorexic flies have eaten more than me and I went way over the prescribed 800 cals.  3 days 5lbs.  None lost yesterday which is odd because I thought I was super good apart from 2 digestives.  Sparkly kitchen, well walked dog, meals planned.  Golden girl.

175

Aim 800 cals per day
Achieved 1000 cals per day
Weightloss 5lbs in 2 days
OMG

Now for TRE - time restricted eating.  

One hundred and eighty

Oh bollocks!

181

I am hoping this is some sort of April Fool and my weight really is 175.  I know I had two breakfasts yesterday but I did swim first thing.  I was just hungry all day long.  

Hate all diets

Swimathon on Sunday.
Bootcamp tomorrow.
Leominster cake today.

178

Just shoot me.

176

So bored with the whole diet- food - weight - body thing.  Why don’t I just eat anything I want and enjoy being fat?  

173

Lots of lemons.  Least I have weighed since I can remember.  Just 3 lbs to go to my Feb goal weight.
79 kilos. Next goal 76 kilos.  

176

Going down.  Apparently only 4 lbs away from my first (actually second) goal on Our Path.  Excellent week.  Yet another bloody weekend.  Back to normal on Monday.

Exercise, diet, accountability.

Made frozen yogurt - delicious and low cal.  

178

Yogurt banana and nuts
Beef goulash and brocolli- the very thing.
Fish cake and cauli cheese - jolly good.
No snacks.

No booze.

180

A nice rounded figure to start off the New Year.
Aim 10lbs in 20 days.
