Well hello there.
Radio silence has, indeed, meant a complete and spectacular tumble off the wagon. I've put all the weight on and possibly more (too scared to get on the scales this morning although I intended to). I'm absolutely miserable but have still found no willpower to dig myself out of the hole.
I'm hoping today will be a fresh start for real, this time. I'm trying a somewhat modified fast day - aiming for roughly 600 calories, not going to be bothered if it ends up around 700. I'm also planning to go back to calorie counting (to 1500-1600) tomorrow, for my non-fasting days. And a proper fast day on Thursday, which I'm actually going to plan ahead for this time.
Breakfast today was coffee with milk, lunch was 2 boiled eggs with some vegetables stir fried in gochujang, all topped with a bit of Japanese furikake rice seasoning and some black sesame seeds. I've taken to following on Instagram the owner of a cafe in Bristol who posts some impressive and inspiring fast day ideas, so hopefully that will also prod me a little.
I've now to see the dentist this afternoon, which I'm dreading. I haven't been in literally years. My teeth desperately need a cleaning and I'd love to get them whitened too. I've been meaning to do something about them for years but I find when I'm overweight I'm so less likely to bother with anything else related to taking care of my appearance, which probably just makes things worse.
Anyway, here's hoping today is a success, and I can finally start plodding my weigh (oops - rather apposite typo there) back to the straight and narrow (narrow also being the operative word...)

Hey Gabby. Good to see you back and posting. I know how hard it is to get going again but it can be done! Make it your priority and write everything down!!
ReplyDeleteI also went to the dentist this morning but for 90 mins of root canal drilling and filling. It was awful. I'm currently trying to persuade myself not to comfort eat to make myself feel better.
Good luck hon. Lxx
