So off track in a big way for a few days. I was struggling to find my way back after Mondays blow out and then my gran died on Wednesday night. I know this is terrible but then I just threw myself headlong into food.
So I feel I'm back at square 1, which I'm probably not. Anyway, I'm going up to London to visit my folks tomorrow, and then I fly up to Glasgow for the funeral in 2 weeks. I'm seeing a lot of family then so I'd like to be feeling better.
I think I'm basically going to vlcd for 2 weeks to shift a stone, then resume intermittent fasting. I don't want to delay starting so even though I'm away this weekend I'm going to start but I'll low carb for a couple of meals and vlcd the rest.
Let's see what happens. What I do know is I'm exhausted and a bit down. But I'm sure I'll feel better in a few days.

Really sorry about your gran ((hugs))) Maybe a vlcd isn't a great idea ( don't shoot me ) but fasting while stressed is hard enough and a vlcd is going to be even harder.xx

I don't know what my plan is, day by day at mo. So here's today...
L - s&s spag bol
T - s&s cottage pie, broccoli
Snack: s&s choc orange bar, tassimo cappucino
Total cals: 540
Didn't drink enough water & no exercise but hey ho, at least eating vaguely back on track.
Thinking about it, the fact that I'm sticking to fasting cals rather than vlcd cals (which would include another 100 for another pack instead of the cappuccino) makes me think I'm subconsciously fasting rather than vlcding. So prob fasting or low carbing tomorrow.

I can see why u wanted to do VLCD. Id be the same. I know where ur coming from x
xlooks like we both have a 2 week ''deadline'' - albeit for very different reasons. don't worry about what's happened. you have gotten back on track from the sound of that last day you posted so that's great. I am impressed you bounced back- I certainly know how hard that is!

Thank you I fully intend to return to fasting, but at the moment I really want to have a diet where is can eat all the time if I want!
I struggle to run on low carb so when I've shifted a stone or so and am feeling more positive, I'll be back! Fasting works v well for me when I'm positive and can stay away from bingeing. Otherwise it turns into a bit of a binge / purge thing.
Anyway, I think I'll update this diary weekly so it's still live, but I've started a daily diary on the dukan diary board called I can dukan. Feel free to visit if you wish, I'd love to see you there
