Surgically happy.
Hi,
I once lost an entire Xmas to lighter life. It was a most miserable day. So, I decided I would never put myself through any major restrictions again - it leads me to have issues further down the line.
now, I intend not going insane but I've decided that I will have to be off plan from Xmas eve to Boxing Day. It won't be unrestricted but in the main, I'll be allowing myself to do what I want. I want to find somewhere in between being on plan and binging. I wouldn't even consider trying to go for it being a flexible syns day.
so, to mitigate things, I've planned ahead.
on plan from now till the 22nd.
fasting day on the 23rd (as per 5:2).
off plan 24th to 26th.
on plan 27th and 28th.
fasting day 29th.
on plan 30th.
off plan 31st/1st.
on plan from the 2nd until Valentines day.
having done 5:2 and having also at one point lost 11st on lighter life, I can fast easily enough to ensure that whatever happens I don't gain too much.
how is everyone else planning to deal with it?
