I started this week (on a Thursday) by seriously considering
giving this whole thing up. It probably
didn’t help that we went out to lunch (not something we do very often) and so
when I weighed myself on the Saturday (just out of curiosity) I had gone back
to 10st 6lbs. It was a fast day and by mid-morning I was feeling very grumpy
and hungry and really not concentrating at all well. This was a pain, because I wanted to start
planning for the service I have in a fortnight and it made it very difficult so
I had to give up on that and that made me even more grumpier. So then I had a think and I decided that I
wouldn’t have a fast day after all, but I would have a “eat as little as I am
comfortable with” day instead. I went
and had some toast and marmalade, felt much better and got on really well, with
a short break for some very frugal soup and another slice of toast. My frugal soup was all the spare veg I had in
the fridge, a bit of chilli and a tin of tomatoes, boiled up and then pureed,
it gave me several portions that worked out at 35 calories each – yes, THAT
frugal. Scrambled egg and salmon plus
stewed fruit and yogurt in the evening, but I didn’t count the calories because
I DIDN’T WANT TO!
So, on Sunday I decided to have another very good day but not
an actual fasting day. Just my prunes
with a bit of yogurt but no cereal in the morning. Frugal soup and toast at
lunchtime, and due to major cock-up on
the catering front, beans on toast for dinner.
Yesterday (Wednesday) I must just have been in the right
mood. I had finished my dinner by 7.00
p.m on Tuesday and didn’t eat again until 7.00 p.m. ! Apart from my morning
coffee I just had water, sometimes with a dash of lemon juice, and then in the
evening I thoroughly enjoyed steamed cod, lots of veg, rice pudding and stewed
apple. 490 calories. I didn’t sleep very well tho’
And now it is Thursday again. My measurements are still the same, my
trousers are still as tight, although I am down to 10st 3lbs (but that’s after
the fast so it will go up again) So what
am I doing wrong? I promise I am not
going mad in between, in fact this week I have been extra good all week after
last Thursday’s blow out. Answers on a
post card please…
There's a link on www.thefastdiet.co.uk for Questions and Answers and has a couple of conversations/information about 'what to do if not losing weight'. Quite a lot of responses on those topics so might have some useful clue for you? xx
ReplyDeleteThanks V. Old grumpy here again! I looked at the web site but there seems to be a lot of questions on the subject but no answers. And I have lost a bit of weight, and of course, I won't lose that fast as I don't have far to go, but I still don't understand how my measurements stay so big and haven't really changed at all. When I go clothes shopping the assistants never beleive me when I say I need a 16 (or a 34G :-( ) and I don't think I look that big either, so am I just full of hot air?
ReplyDeleteOh Janet, you made me laugh with that last question :-) bless you! Guess the answer is that we are all different. So, no answer at all, really. Hugs xx
