5:2 was brilliant for me and I have lost nearly 2 stone; I would quite like to lose another stone but am also pretty happy at the size I am now after more than 10 years of being overweight.
I would love to stick with 5:2 as a lifestyle as I feel it really works/worked for me, but unfortunately I seem to have lost the plot a bit. Fasting itself is ok and I can go until about 5 before I eat, save for a tiny bit of skimmed milk in coffee. However, once I get the kids home and give them tea the floodgates open and I start picking at their tea, eating blocks of cheese, it's basically a bit of a binge until after we have our tea at 8ish. Not counting calls but I reckon I'm getting to 800-1000. The issue is that it's mindless eating that I can't quite see to control and it feels a long way from the way of eating I was managing before.
Then on my eating days I find that I'm trying to make up for the fact that I haven't fasted properly the day before, so I heavily restrict my calories for most of the day, then basically binge a bit again in the evening!
Does anyone have any tips on how I can 're-set' a bit and get back on track? Anyone experienced similar? I'm staying at the same weight, but it feels like I'm struggling, and right on the edge of losing the plot completely and getting fat again....
