Can you say, YUM?!! Light day for me today.

@KateNkognito ANY time my husband wants to take me out to eat, I'm gonna say YES! Hope you had a wonderful time. @sjgold123 What is cream tea?

I wonder if this is what it feels like to be Naked & Afraid? Lol! Just kidding. But for real, how do they survive without eating for days and then split a tadpole? I can't hold out for 20 hours on a boiled egg. ha! I am telling myself, just hold out a little longer. I have a nice dinner planned and then I will feel fine…

Saturday was the annual family campout. I think my group is growing up or growing old. lol. No drunkenness, which is a good thing. I was proud that I only had 2 beers and I can honestly say that I didn't have a taste for a third. Looking forward to this week! Happy Monday Ya'all!!

@kpsyche Exactly! The more I moderate the less I really care if I have one or not. It's taken some time to get there, but it's getting there. Doing good @jecky74 !

Thank you @ryenday and @jknight001 for the good advice!

Saturday is our annual family campout. Lots of food, booze, sitting by the fire telling jokes. Even though the whole weekend is moderation time for me, I think I'm going to abstain tonight, so I don't have to worry about going over my allotment on Saturday.

I made is yesterday, 692 calories! What are some tips for not overeating the day after a light day?? Last day after didn't go so well for me... @sjgold123 I have to make strawberry cupcakes and brownies for a family campout Saturday. The temptation is real, girl.

@salleewins I'm so sorry. It is a very sad day when you are Daddy's little girl and he leaves you. It's like your champion is gone, but he will never leave you.

@JenT304 What a day! Prayers are heading your way.

I hope I don't wear you out with questions. Should you see a decrease in the scale after a fast day? I was disappointed that I did not. I don't expect to lose alot of weight just by one fast day, but I thought at least it would show decrease weight of food in my stomach.

Thank you! I was worried that someone was going to order food out and then I would be tempted or just have to smell it!

There's something that I've been wanting to share with you all for the last 4 days. Friday night, I saw the Alcohol Devil. Yes, I did. Sure as anything. After our long stressful week at work, we (co-workers) went for a late lunch at 4 pm. To call it a day. Most had alcohol. I did too. 3 low cal/alc beers which I'm ok with.…

Today is my first official week on 5:2. I tested it Thursday and found I could hold off eating until about 4 pm so I had a small snack. When I got home, I ate a regular nutritious meal. Does anyone else wait until dinner to eat their main calories? What I know about myself is that I don't need breakfast. When I skip, I…

Beautiful evening here in GA. Got up early and drove 45 miles to make my mama breakfast. Love that lady! It's been since June of 2016 that the Lord took my dad. We had a good talk about him and I blurted out that I have been feeling resentful that she had given all the grandchildren and my brothers a personal item that had…

@donimfp and @NovusDies I work for an aircraft maintenance shop. We service small aircraft and private jets at a small local airport. It''s fun, interesting, and sometimes high pressured work. My job is all the bookkeeping, but I end up doing a lot of other things. However, I don't touch the planes. No one would want that.…

The plane is gone! Bye!Bye!

Hi All! I'm going to give 5:2 a try. Yesterday was my first fasting day. I did 600 calories. Is it all right if I join you all in this group?

I got to work this morning, the plane is still here! aargghh Hopefully it will be gone today and everything fixed and flying high. I went to a yoga class yesterday for lunch and it really helped. It was a more advanced class than I normally take. I am just doing beginners, but I needed to go badly so I did an intermediate…

Thank you for your response @NovusDies. When we are busy and stressed, I sometimes have to eat standing up while multi-tasking or take 5 min lunches. I have a great job that allows for alot of flexibility WHEN we don't have a plane in with the pilots standing over our shoulders. I 'think' the plane we have in right now…

Work has been extremely stressful this week. I dream about it at night and don't get good rest. I'm tired. I'm up on the scale. I only caved Tuesday and had one glass of wine, but I am feeling particularly vulnerable today. I need to change things up or everything is going to give ... moderation and diet. I hope I can stay…

This is a great question that I've been wondering as well.

I had one more drink than I was suppose to on my AF days and one less drink on my moderating days, so I guess the week was a pretty good one. However I had some self realization on Friday. I brought home some wings and fries for dinner. My husband and I stood in the kitchen and devoured the fries with our cocktail. While…

@JenT304 Sending warm thoughts your way.

I'm shooting for AF Mon-Thurs, but I had a small glass of wine last night. I wish I hadn't. I woke up not feeling well and therefore not sleeping well and feeling drained this morning. I don't think it was the one glass of wine because I wasn't feeling well before I drank it. I think it's anxiety about my job, but I don't…

For me, the reason is because I'm hungry and I sooth hunger with drink. The earlier I eat dinner, the more successful I am in moderation. :smiley:

I totally get where you are coming from. I think above all You have to know yourself and do what is right for You. Some days I think that we should split this group into two different groups. One for Moderation and one for Abstinence, but I think both groups would miss the wisdom from the other group. We all have alot to…

Still in! Goal is AF M-Th and the equivalent of 1 bottle of wine (total) F-Sun. I went 1 drink over last week on my AF goal and 1 drink over on my weekend goal. (the weather has just been so darn beautiful!) One thing that I noticed was that I really thought about it before I did it. I asked myself, "Do I really want a…

I really like what @donimfp said, "don't judge your inside against someone else's outside'. We are all on different journeys. All the people on the inside of this thread and all the people on the outside of this thread. :) This reminds me of a Maya Angelou tape I listened to once. She said everyone should be allowed to…

Yesterday was very stressful. So when I got home I decided to have a glass of wine. One 5oz glass of chard. I drank it and was fine. Last night when I went to bed, my chest felt like it was doing somersaults for about 30 min. And then I woke up 2 hours later all sweaty. I generally slept like crap. Pretty much no good…
