First day on 5:2 - Anyone else?

[Greengardenpixie]

So in desperation..i have started this today. I am currently 5ft5 and weighing the heaviest i have done for an age 11 stone 12
Pissed off seeing myself looking this way so am starting this as of today. Anyone else?
My fast day today :) Didnt find it too bad. Never usually eat breakfast as i am never hungry in the morning so that was easy! Cup a soup for lunch. 1/2 can of beans, one slice of toast, 2 small funsize = 500 calories or a little less actually :)
My birthday tomorrow so looking forward to eating normally [ or maybe a little more calories than i would normally!]
