I think I would do the same tbh, may give the fasting thing a go in the future if my losses are really slow but I think I would struggle.

It's mainly because I've found a couple of meals that I really enjoy and that fill me up for not many calories. So I tend to stick with them as I know they get me through my Fasts. I don't find them too bad to be honest - the first one is always the worst but surprisingly, on Tuesday, I completed my first Fast of 2015 struggle-free.
I love 5:2 because it literally feels like I diet two days a week and eat whatever I want the other 5 days. That's it in a nutshell basically! It's also amazing how much you can get out of your 500cals if you plan properly too - Fasts aren't all that bad. It's more mind over matter than anything else, in my opinion x

This is my chia pudding! I have to admit it does look a bit strange (my mam said it's like frogspawn!) but it certainly didn't put me off. It did the job

Oh, they are amazing!! I actually prefer them to a "proper" Creme Egg and you can have two biscuits for only 4cals more than what is in a Creme Egg!! I am all about quantity lol! You only get 6 in a pack though so I have been stocking up - our £ shop have them in at the mo.
Thanks lovely, really looking forward to a cosy night. I've not really let on, but I've had quite an emotional week. Not really over anything specific, just one of those weeks you know? All I've wanted is a cuddle from Warren and not been able to have one because of his work hours. Boo!! Roll on tonight
Have a lovely weekend xx

becoming a happier, healthier me
The chia pudding sounds lovely but im not sure i could get over its frog spawn like appearance.
Your food always looks so yummy on 5:2. It seems as if you can still enjoy the nicer things without worry about them being really high in syns. I'm a SW faithful though so not sure I could make the move over xxx

Yes, they've changed the chocolate! I don't know why they would try and fix something that isn't broken!? But hey ho, hopefully they'll still be just as nice! Funny you should mention the boxes of 6 - they are now boxes of 5 - there's one missing!! How ridiculous is that. I bet they still charge the same price too
Not that it'll stop me buying them :giggle: I love them! Have you had the Creme Egg Pots of Joy too? The chocolate dessert things. Oh my, they are so good. Well anything CE related usually is!! xx

That's exactly why I love it - I can eat normal food without worrying that it's bad / Synful on SW. For example my lunch was relatively healthy really. A chicken salad sandwich on wholemeal bread and some low calorie Special K crisps. But on SW that would have been 17 Syns - more than a days allowance!!
I was a die-hard SW'er too and had followed the plan for over three years. But I just found it had become too restrictive for me. Especially since I got in a relationship. It's nice to know we can have meals / drinks out without feeling guilty. Or if we're having a day out somewhere I can run into any shop and pick up a sandwich / salad or something and not have to worry about working out the Syns in it!
I never thought I'd do anything apart from SW, but my passion for it just burnt out and I lost interest. I'm so happy I discovered 5:2 though and I've never looked back since. Some people have tried to tempt me back to SW but now I've had the freedom of 5:2 I don't think I'll ever look at SW in the same way again. That being said, it's all about finding what works best for you as we're all different! xxx
