At goal & now beyond... 5:2 officially rocks!

Proud of you for not freaking out and trusting what your doing :) you have come so far !!
 
Well today's dd has gone ok, am at 550 but I didn't eat all the dressing that was with my salad so probably knock 30 off for that so I'm ok. Up day tomorrow but will try & keep it sensible as am at the coast on Saturday with my bestie & families for a late birthday treat so fish & chips will happen of that I'm sure. If I can get back to 11:5 for next Thursday then I'll be happy
 
Well done on your DD x
 
I'd love to get a tattoo but have a fear of getting a tattooist that can't spell and being stuck with it...or a wonky heart or bird that would irritate the ocd me :eek:...I'll stick to drawing on myself with felt tip pens!! Well done on not freaking out about scales, it'll be back down before you know it as we all know it isn't all "real weight" x

Oh believe me I had a rubbish one done on my wrist & I don't even like the cover up job so I'm about to have a third attempt at it!!!!
 
How many tattoos do you have? I'm not bad with pain, seem to have a high threshold, and needles don't bother me but it's the fear of it not looking right that holds me back :rolleyes: Maybe I'll get one as a reward if I get to target! x

I have 6 but have been under the needle 9 times, one was covered & 2 were added to, they're all quite small though apart from the base of my spine which is bigger at about 6" square
 
I've a couple of designs picked out, but like you they will be small if I get them done...though to spite my mother I may just get a multi coloured sleeve done!!:p

My mum hates mine & when she called in unexpectedly today I panicked about her seeing my foot! I'd got my trousers rolled up & I really quickly unrolled them...
 
Scale update 11:7:0, they were 11:6:0 but day at the coast yesterday but I'm not worried 2 fasts to go yet this week so should be around 11:5:0 at official I'm hoping then slowly back down. I'm gonna be 5:2ing forever so I'm in no rush anymore
 
Who are you? Do we know you? lol

I'm asking myself the same question at times!!!! It s strange but I think I've finally (1000 days in to my "diet") realised thanks to 5:2 I've found the plan for life so what's the rush. Honestly I'm happy where I am & if I get lower that's great but I don't need to beat myself up daily anymore.... Erm ok did I really just type that??????
 
That's so true, Lexie. I'm getting to that same point myself, I think. I'm off plan for a few days, for my birthday, and my weight was up 4lbs today, back to 11 stone, after just one piggy day, lol. :O But I know now that I've done this many times before, and it always comes back down again pretty quickly. As you say, what's the rush?! :) xx
 
Go Lexie!! What a great attitude to take :D

Remind me when the freak out me reappears!

I have so much going on I need one less thing to worry about I think that's what it is. I'm really unhappy in my job at the mo & can't decide whether to start applying elsewhere but it's been almost 17 years I've been here & I'm on really good money, id earn less full time most places as I do for working 28 hours. I'm going to start getting on with my nutritional advisor coursework so maybe I can do something with that.....
 
Know how hard it can be when work is making you unhappy. When I was working in the office it was fine and I was there for years and would have happily stayed ad infinitum but then with the reshuffle at Christmas and working from home..if I hadn't been made redundant I could have seen me just walking out. It was making me so stressed and miserable. It ends up affecting all your life because of the mood it puts you in. It's a hard decision to make whether to look for something else. Can you see the situation improving if you hang in there? What's the nutritional advisor course? Sounds interesting x
