I don't know how to feel about putting on so much weight.
I used be very overweight, lost a person and enjoyed being slim, then skinny, then super skinny and ended up really underweight with no energy.
I put weight on and meant to stop with a bmi of 20. But of course, once I started eating again, I remembered how much I liked food and I am now 3lbs overweight and feel like an elephant.
Theoretically I should be able to lose again but 5;2 is not possible - I now exercise 7 days a week and cannot cope doing a hard aerobic workout on 2 days when I am eating very little - it makes recovery impossible and I end up exhausted.
I am wondering if I could do 16:8 but I exercise at 7-8 in the morning and feel light headed if I don't eat afterwards. The children aren't home until 8:30/9pm after activities twice a week so I'd never eat with them in the evenings.
Realistically I need to stop eating sugar and I'd easily lose weight but I crave it so much, that each of the last 4 times I have tried, I have failed within hours. I wish there was a drug I could take that would make me feel sick every time I ate sugar!
