Binges...
On Thursday I binged on three slices of pizza and felt horribly fat and ugly. I cannot believe I let myself do that, after all of the hard work that I am putting into losing weight and I did that?! Then on Sunday I binged on chocolates... It really is heartbreaking, especially since I have been eating less than 1000 calories every day in between.
But, the only way I can keep myself calm in these situations is by thinking about this quote:
So I have been trying to make it up to myself...
24 hour fast...
This is the only conceivable way in order to lose some of the weight I put on, and actually I lost 1kg according to my scales! It was a lot easier to fast this time, compared to my first, because I was at home - doing Uni work and watching Skins (my new addiction... I am sure Cassie is like my soul mate) - and between both of those things (and playing Animal Crossing), I did 50 minutes of step and dance exercise, which burnt 400 calories that I hadn't even eaten! So that was a great start and I only ate 753 calories because I had to have dinner with my boyfriend or he would kill me.
I made sure I was drinking plenty of lemon water and I had two cups of green tea as well - I am really getting into Green Tea, I would definitely recommend it as it helps to boost your metabolism, as does lemon water and almonds - which are all things I love. Just remember that one almond is 7 calories, so don't eat too many!
So that is one way I have helped myself this week, and I am actually going to do another fast from Wednesday evening to Thursday evening as well, in order to keep the weight off even more.
Sickness...
When I was younger (and much thinner...), I used to feel sick when looking at food, which would help me to avoid it, then I found chocolate and other disgusting things which made me put on even more weight and made me the horribly fat human being I am today.
Anyway, I have adopted that trait once again, which is really helping me to avoid food and I hope to try and encourage it to take it's place in my head again by making me not want to eat and therefore not eat! It does make food shopping a bit difficult, as I cannot look anywhere without seeing food in front of my face.
Considerations...
I am thinking of doing the 2,4,6,8 diet, to try and boost my metabolism and speed up my weight loss even further. I am not sure when I am starting this but I will keep you updated!
