I sound mostly positive, but I *have* had several problems I’m yet to fully deal with. One of them is that my family have been helping me by cooking for me. As lovely as this is from one perspective I *really* need to control my own calorie intake or I’ll just fall apart again. Oddly, my weight has sort of stabilised at 154.3k, but this is far short of where I hoped and expected.
For example, yesterday I went out with my daughter to a specialist bookstore and we had lunch. I treated myself to fish, chips and salad. Ok, this was over the top, but I told myself I could make it up (or cover it) by having the smaller meal that I should have had at lunchtime, for dinner.
However, my daughter kindly bought some salmon for me and cooked veg to go with it. It was lovely but meant my daily calorie intake was far above my intended level. The problem is I found myself feeling ‘peckish’ and in need of snacks… which I controlled to an extent by eating some ham. Oddly this didn’t seem to make a major difference in that I didn’t actually gain weight, still, I decided today I’d have a late breakfast of fried eggs, and tomato with baked beans, but won’t eat lunch as such but will have two Kruskits spread with and remains of the cooked salmon in the afternoon if I need to.
I’ll pass on how well this works. I’m also considering a 12:00 ‘fast’ from dinner to lunch so we’ll see how well that works. In reality, I’m already doing that so maybe I should extend it and abandon breakfast. We’ll see. 🙂
