Hann's IF Diary - 7 months and counting :)

I had my sausages and mash, I think my ma gave me about 20 potatoes... couldn't finish it but gave it a damn good try haha

Completely full! Have got some goodies for later, and im not even interested in them just yet. I think I was that used to a down day on friday that its a bit of a shock having an up friday evening...!

Frickin love sausage and mash. One of my all time faves in cold weather espesh, ummmm! Showed my mamatron ur 'plan' for a weeks eating and she struggles to get her head round it to begin with but now she has she has decided to try next week. Check you out, inspiring the nations mums n shizzle! xx
 
aww your mum should join us on minis toooooooo, the more the merrier :D xx

I remember seeing loads of people talking about it on here, starting threads about shift work and doing their days differently, but I've never seen anyone actually do it! So I thought why the heck not, and now I love it more than regular days!! whoop :D

I love my mum more than anything but minimims is my domain, she enters at her peril ;-) tbh she reads all my shiz anyway lol.
Funny she actually said re ur pattern 'oh this would work really well for people who work shifts etc.' And why the hec shouldn't it work, its still 24 hours of no food/ food. She asked though and i can't remember, do you eat anything i ur fasting hours or literally nothing? her fear is the nothing but seeing as ur going to get a meal at some point she will be fine xx
 
On my up-up-down day I don't really "need" dinner as I've been well fed from the breakfast up and lunch up. So you could easily have something small (200 cals maybe)

On the down-down-up day I just don't eat anything til 5. I'm at work 9-5 so I can usually distract myself enough until I get home. (300 cals left for this)


I do fast asides a cup of tea every now and then. I've just kinda got into the way of fasting nearly by accident...and I just ended up liking it. Don't count cals on my downs, don't count cals on my ups (just *try* to have a bit of sense on ups... and I don't think I could physically drink 500 calories of tea on a down day :p)

I find it a lot easier mentally cause I'm not constantly thinking how many cals I have left. And because I'm giving my head a break I'm not stressed about it and not wanting to binge half as much.

Literally the most amount of sense ive read! You my dear are a fricking genius! Might rename this 'hannata-ing!' Sending that to the madre right now! X
 
Yesssss I am queen of awesome (and pizza) :D



I am so happy right now!!

Its WEEK TEN tomorrow and I haven't broken my dd's once. I don't think I've got this far on any diet, without cheating, ever. And I've dieted a lot. Amazeballs XD

I'm in an insanely good mood now I've dealt with my anxiety, actually talked to my GP and was listened to, and helped. Happy pills are ****ing awesome because I no longer feel frantically ocd and scared of everything. I have some galaxy caramel cake buns and I'm not even hugely interested in eating them right now because I am actually.... settled?

I don't feel like I have to dampen down the choas in my head with the happiness food provides, if that makes sense?

by the way; this is at everyone, you can call me Hann/Han if you like, infact I'll change the title of my thread lol xx
 
Han, your diary is so inspiring! I have been reading it diligently every day. Any one who is thinking of judding should read it, you are doing so very well too.
Hope you feel better soon.

Yep sat is my official weigh in. I'm still really chuffed with 3, and hopefully if I'm bunged up still it'll come out for next weeks weigh in :) I think I'll give the husks a try my dad suggested them too x

I'm still in a great mood despite being full of the cold! I'm considering rejoining my gym again maybe before Christmas, which is pretty insane :)

Yeah it took me a while to get there, and I have to say I do NOT follow a calorie restriction on ups at all which may or may not make things easier. I'm just really settled into the *doing* of juddd rather than the *thinking*. For me total fasting removes all of the thinking about it. I just get on with it. It's still horrible being so hungry at times but I find it fine when I know ups are only a short time away.

When I dieted on a conventional diet I drove myself mad remembering points/calories/syns in things, now my head is free of all that madness.

I too have embraced this. Eating whatever on up days,I used to count but stopping that. Also going to exercise whenever I can. And count vaguely on down, I know what I can have roughly x
