So, I did not do well at all while in Singapore. Something about travelling - even the airport/plane trip part of it - seems to lead to uncontrolled eating, or at the least absolute inability to even roughly stick to a plan. When I got home late Monday night instead of just going to bed like a normal person, I did the whole "you've blown it anyway so why not go out with a bang" binge, consisting of giant bowl of ice cream and a huge bag of chips. Idiot!
With the wedding trip just two weeks away, and my planned dresses not even zipping up, I am in dire straits. I'm planning to do a combo of 5:2 and low carb, which has been working ok so far (for 3 whole days! My goodness, what willpower!). On the non fast days (I refuse to call them feast days because, I mean come on) I'm trying to stick to 1200 calories (although I got to 1300 today - there's that amazing willpower again!)
I don't think I could maintain this long term - I love carbs, and 1200 feels a little too restrictive, but maybe just for 2 weeks I can manage? I've been googling weight loss constantly and came upon the idea of a fat fast - low carb but with a hellish twist, where you eat 1000 calories a day but 80-90% of that has to come from fat. The idea is it shoves you quickly into ketosis and your body becomes super efficient at using fat for fuel, and it's supposedly good for people with very slow metabolisms. Sounds pretty awful but maybe doable for a few days - if I were convinced it actually worked scientifically. I haven't read convincing enough proof - so the search for the miracle cure continues.
I used Seren's tip and changed my scales to pounds so I would have a less clear idea of where I was, weight wise, but then when I was putting it into some bullshit weight loss calculator thing online it did an instant conversion and I was mildly horrified with what I saw. I was headed back to my highest recorded weight ever, which is just beyond demoralising and mortifying. Anyway, I'm weighing myself again on Saturday, and we'll see how I go.
