Haven't written anything in a while, I guess I'm not really a "journally" type of person, lol, it's just really not my thing, although I do love creepin' and occasionally commenting on other peoples journals. :) Canned the 5:2 Fast diet, it just wasn't feasible for me, especially being severely hypoglycemic. I was a shaky, sick, irritable mess. At the beginning of this week on Monday, I actually weighed in at 167 pounds due to a total throwaway weekend, and a throwaway week before that. I mean, I seriously ate everything in sight for like 9 days straight. My weight skyrocketed from 157 up to 167. So like I said, I stopped trying to adhere to the 5:2 Fast and just went back to doing what I know how to do, which is simply eating well, watching how much I cram in my craw, taking in a lot more fluids, not snacking and not eating after dinner. As a result, I weighed in at 162 today and was super happy about that :) Currently have a flare-up of lupus and EBV, have been taking care of myself and not doing a damn thing but resting. A lot of people are really ill right now it seems, I hope we all start feeling better.

I keep trying these crazy diets and I keep realizing...they are CRAZY...best to just eat sensibly...treat yourself here and there and keep on moving :)

I agree. I stopped weighing myself daily because every time I gained (even though I was following my plan perfectly) I would start thinking of doing all these wildly crazy things. For instance, fasting, severely restricting my calories, exercising all day or some other nonsense. Now, I eat healthy, exercise, and ignore the scale. Instead, I measure my success by how I feel, and how well my clothes fit, and of course, how I look 'starkers'.

I couldn't agree more. I am always in awe when I read on here about people who can completely cut out certain things, like sugar, flour, carbs, fats, you name it, I know in my heart that that's just not for me. It's not something I can do long term, you know? Nor would I want to. I love food, all kinds of food, and I truly don't believe that you have to go hog wild crazy and freak out and start editing your food intake down to where you're only eating freakin' lentils and quinoa and taking in a lousy 500 calories a day, lol! Forget it. It just ain't gonna happen. It's just not sustainable, not for me anyways. Every time I go back to just doing what makes common sense, I lose weight.

@HeyJude..."starkers", lol!!! Too cute! :) I am also backing way off the scale, I try to only weigh-in twice a week now because I really let that piece of metal dictate my emotional state and that's just not right or normal :/ I also go by how my clothes fit, I know that when my underwear are digging into the sides of me, I got a problem, lol!

I'm glad you're figuring out what works best for you. Sometimes it seems easier to do the "diets" because it is a plan to follow, but I'm like you, I'm better off to just do what I know I should, eat healthier. I hope you're feeling better soon!

@mars2kids, I hope you are feeling better too, I also follow your journal updates, I look forward to them a lot (probably because you actually have a life going on, unlike me, lol!) I see you are finally on the mend, I hope you have a great weekend and take care of yourself and enjoy new Walking Dead on Sunday :)

LOL! It's funny that you say I have a life going on, because I feel like I have no life. It's really me running my kids around to their lives. But thank you! :) I'm sure I will immensely enjoy The Walking Dead this weekend!! That is my "me" time. :)
