Have had a very busy and crazy few weeks - where everything has happened at the same time, so been full of stress and only just come out the other side in one piece, but unhappily my diet has gone out of the window in dramatic style. I have started the process to get back on track as it does seem to take me a while to get away from the cravings and food binges.

I have put on just over a stone in weight in about 6 weeks - so really need to sort this out and also feel awful in myself - one thing that has gotten better is most of the stomach pain I had been having has reduced a lot, still get occasional twinges and spasms in the back but so much improvement - but I know I feel so much better on LCHF so over the next few weeks I am aiming on getting back in slowly. I have tried this week but so far haven't managed to sort myself out properly, tried to do a fast to kick it back in faster but ended up bingeing both days so think I need to take a slower journey this time, so a total rethink and going to aim for getting myself to under 50g carbs over the next few weeks and then will reduce it down to 20g once I am in the groove again - I also did love going ZC and it is something I am going to aim for but need to get rid of cravings first and take it a small step at a time.

Have really missed getting on here and having the support from everyone - but that should all be easier by Friday when we get our wifi sorted.

Am starting to see the light at the end of what has been a very long tunnel.
