Hi,
I’m new to this JUDDD business. I thought it might suit me because I feel like I’m actually addicted to food, in the same way you could be addicted to anything. It’s pretty much all I think about. I eat when I’m sad, happy, bored, content, devastated, whatever the mood I just love food. I know the only way to beat an addiction is to completely stop doing the thing you’re addicted to, but you obviously can’t do that with food so this seems like a compromise. I’ve tried every single diet going, I had a lot of success with slimming world but all the weight went back on as I started to resent fry light... and bloody baked beans... and quark... don’t get me started!
Anyway my first day of fasting was last Friday, it went ok. I had a special k cereal bar for breakfast which suits me as I’m hungry first thing, but need something quick so I can be off to work, then for lunch I had a meal replacement shake thing. The one I had was a breakfast one called fuel and was chocolate, it tasted good and it was just a fast, easy, convenient way of having the calories and having the right stuff.. I.e protein, fats, carb all in one shake. For dinner I had an urban kitchen soup with was 90something calories and tasted quite nice, and lasted a while as soup does... felt like an actual meal. In amongst the (admittedly quite rubbish) food, lots of coffee to keep me energised... to a degree. It wasn’t easy, but I did it and when I got home, I didn’t feel close to death like I thought. I had the soup, sat and watched tv to take my mind off it, and went to bed.
Next day i ate lovely things, and the day after more lovely things.
Fasted again on Monday, with the same foods as before. It was tough as I was working til 8 and after 6 was feeling a bit... peckish... but before that good energy levels, no different to usual really. If anything possibly more focused as not thinking about food.
Nice things tuesday
Today was the real test. No work, just a full day, me and my 3 year old. And a trip to our cafe, which we do every Wednesday, usually for a yummy lunch followed by cake and cappuccino. Today just a child’s lunch for daughter and coffee with a tiny bit of milk for me.
And the same things as the other fasting days except swapped the tomato urban kitchen soup for a carrot and coriander one. Exciting times.
Well I survived anyway. It’s been a long day... a really long day..
Just thinking about tomorrow now and back to normal yummy food.
Will weigh in Friday after fasting and add to profile
