Back again!!
Hey everyone,
I'm Sarah, 33 years old, wife to Tom and Mummy to Cole (who was 1 on NYE). Having struggled with SW, WW, RC, VLCD's I've found myself still stuck at a weight I don't want to be and I'm not happy with. As soon as I tell myself I'm on a 'diet' I want ALL the food!! So I've been looking for a new way of life where I can still eat realistically without counting and came across fasting. Having stalked a few of your diaries I've decided to give it a go.
I do have another diary in Silvers but it was originally a ttc diary, then a pregnancy one and now it's just day to day rubbish more than food related. So I though I'd start afresh with a food diary here in case people don't want to be bored with hearing about my day at soft play or how many hours Cole slept the previous day
Luckily I dropped my baby weight within a month of having him so it's just a lot of pre baby weight that I need to sort out.
I did my first fast day on Saturday (which will be WI day from now on) and was 102kg. My goal weight is somewhere between 66 and 72kg but I'm not concentrating on that yet, I just want to change the way I see food and find something that works for me. I've decided to weigh in kg as I don't really understand them and when I weigh in pounds or stones I get hung up on each stone bracket and give up! Plus my scales don't do .something of a pound whereas it does in kg and a loss is a loss, right? The plan is to work out how many calories I need in a week, minus off my fast days then divide the rest over the week. I'm aiming to do 2-3 fasts per week.
Anyway, I managed to fast both Saturday and Sunday to give me a kick start and yesterday morning had so far lost 1.9kg. I'm an obsessive daily weigher, which is something else I need to change, but everything slowly slowly. Yesterday was an UD and because I'd not been thinking about food the previous two days I only ended up eating 1068 calories so need to plan better.
Looking forward to getting to know you all.
