Hope everything starts getting better for you - your tone certainly sounds very positive

 

[Purple Patsy]

I'm tired just reading about all you've got going on. Hope you don't tire yourself out too much. Changes at work sound interesting so hope that all goes OK.

I hope your new ADs help, I was on and off every possible AD for 10 years until I was eventually diagnosed with bipolar. I've been stable now for 5 months on new meds (not ADs as they send me manic) and it's been the longest time I've not been in a depressive state. Best of luck on your journey x

Morning Donna, lovely to see you back -hope your busy life is settling down, it's amazing how you can manage to squeeze 3 small meals on such little cals x

I did buy 3 weight watchers meal but they are so small I think beans on toast will be more substantial...planning early night tonight as well and lots and lots of water and fizz as a treat

 

[donnajt]

OK ... off to weigh myself and do my 30 mins WiiFit

 

[Cas3]

Good luck with wi, those ww's meals aren't very filling but are nice with a jacket or baked beans to bulk them up but wouldnt be good on a low day, baked beans on toast is a good choice and chicken stir fry is another x

Good first fast day Donna. You still ate a minimal amount of calories so I wouldn't worry about going over a bit. Well done!

When I was doing the 5:2 diet I found it easier to skip a meal, breakfast in my case.

I'd have a good long fast then from say 8pm to 1pm, have a lunch of salmon salad or a ready made salad from tesco for under 200kcals, then I tended to have a stir fry for tea - prawn or squid, or a vegetable dish like a veg and bean chilli with a tiny bit of rice if I had the kcals left.

I bought the fasting recipe book which is really good and I'm still making recipes from it even though I'm not doing the diet anymore xx

 

[donnajt]

Well I survived its been pretty easy but I`'ve never looked forward to a bowl of porridge

Also managed 31 mins on Wii fit and 60 minute walk

Work tomorrow catch up in the evening

 

[donnajt]

Forgot...I gained 5lbs....here's to a quick shift!!!

 

[Aaleigha]

5lb is nothing not with what you have been through - comfort eating is what got us where we are and that is what we need to learn NOT to do - but its hard - so baby steps

[lil miss chatterbox]

you'll have those 5lbs back off again in no time! hope it's a good day for you at work

 

[Charleybarley]

Hey

Glad you had a good first day Donna. 5lb is nothing hun. You will get that off in no time.
