I was put on my first diet when I was a totally breast fed 4 mth old, because I apparently had rolls of fat - my Mum threw all my baby photos away as I was 'so ugly' so I can't comment. I went on constant diets after that, and as I became more reluctant to do it my Mum would 'motivate' me by telling me how physically…

Soubnds like hubby needed a day off - I think we all do occassionally.

So proud to be a MLP sinner!:devil:

Different things have worked for all these people, but there is something that they all did - by plan or by accident - they all had a fairly major change in their eating.

Another update - on my second semi-fast day I did 25 minutes of pilates - and didn't really have any issues doing it. I have read a few blogs where people talk about regular fasting, and it appears that your body gets used to it, so to a large extent you get over feeling weaker, which is good news, not that I have felt…

Meal plans are the opposite of what Intuitive Eating is about really.

I just don't view diaries - I don't know anyone well enough, what they are struggling with, what their diet plan is like, what they can eat, can't eat - what the stress levels in their life are like - the thought of commenting on someone overeating to find that they had the worst kinds of day - well, I just don't want to…

I would be keen, if you son;t mind that I might be doing more than the 2 days a week.

Walnuts, even in small amounts set my reflux off. Some tablets do it too, even vitamins can. I avoid most manufactured stuff where possible. A commercially made treacle tart sets it off, even though all the ingredients listed on the package seem to be fine when I use them to cook! Not that I minded too much, not a big…

I have found drinking Aloe Vera pulp in the morning on an empty stomach really helps calm down the reflux if it goes haywire - haven't had the guts to try without the meds though yet! I have a hiatus hernia, and the reflux gives me an inflamed oesophagus, which feels like I have a steel bar from my throat to the base of my…

Maybe I know why love. Maybe it's because last time you thought you had cracked it, and now you are aware that after all the hard work, there will be the hard work of keeping it off, and you are not sure that you will succeed at keeping it off. And if you can't keep it off, is there really any point going through the pain…

I thought I would round up my first three days of a semi-fast on alternate days. On Wednesday and today I only ate at lunch time. I picked lunchtime as I don't really get hungry in the morning, and my evenings are busy - but felt that I would not manage a whole day at work with no food. So, on Wednesday morning, I weighed…

Let me know how it goes.

That was a very interesting read, thank you.

Umm, can't help you I'm afraid.

Interesting blog who came up with an intermittent fasting idea all by themselves http://forgetdietingforever.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/experimenting.html

What is a BCAA? And I wondered - were you on a total fast? On this plan I eat one meal of up to 522 calories on my restricted days, so maybe I just wont get that hungry. I did see a blog from someone who did 24 hour fasting/ 24 hour eating, but she started at 6pm, which seemed a sensible idea, and may suit you if you do it…

Sounds like a plan. Different things suit different people, maybe this will suit us!

Thank you, Daisy has Kennel cough, and was not choking to death as feared. She has already started responding to the antibiotics and anti-inflamatories, and is breathing much easier. No idea where she picked it up, she hasn't been near any other dogs, apart from our other dog, as she is scared of them. I'm quite enjoying…

Lots of different opinions here, but I am trialling this for 4 weeks, and if I start binge eating, or find I am eating double the calories on the unrestricted day, then I will re-think. I'm still only mildly hungry, at 6.20pm. I thought that the most interesting information online came from someone who uses this way of…

Well, due to circumstances my 500 cals were a coffee with sugar, and a pack of driet fruit, nuts and seeds. I wont be doing it again, it was kind of an emergency today as my dog got really ill and I had to rush out from work to get her to the vet. But to be honest, I haven't been that hungry yet (4pm).

Wow, that is quite a difference. And what a beautiful baby!

I wish there was a way to favourite posts so that they were easy to refer to!

I'm just so glad for the friends who have stuck by me through the last couple of crappy weeks, seemingly happy to see me when I log on, and rooting for me. And I intend to pay that back.

I have the same problem - have you tried the free mediations on http://www.getsomeheadspace.com/ to help teach you how to train your mind to looki away from the stressful thoughts? I find it very helpful.

Thanks for ansking the question raregreeneyes (not so rare I have some too!) - I have loved the answers and am very inspired!0

I find it a bit weird that people would want to see my diary - I have no interest in seeing anyone elses - what else are you going to do but nose or judge? And I am certainly not going to judge for so many reasons - 1. I'm not a nutritionist, so don't have enough knowledge to comment. 2. Even if I was a nutritionalist, a…
