Plan for today-
284 cals,
I think it will be a very easy day. My advice to all of those who are restricting in an extreme way - at any point - should discount breakfast on <350 days. As long as it is healthy, less than 200 calories and contains something like oats or protein that gives slow-release energy, there is no need to count it, it will not affect weight loss. As for the rest of the day, I will eat sporadically to keep up my metabolism. And my own personal rule is to never eat past 8pm (usually I try not to go beyond 7pm).
So I've lost 3.4 lbs already in 2 days. Life is pretty good.
I don't actually know when I'm going to be seeing my friends again. Most of them have exams sooner than I do (and stricter parents than I do, too) so I doubt anyone will make much of an appearance before half-term (around the 5th June I believe). Even then, it's the week before my first exam, so I won't be out drinking or anything. (Boo). I have got to stop using parentheses in my writing all the time.
I would like to turn up 10lbs thinner just to see what their reaction would be. Or whether they'd even notice? Sometimes I wonder. - Even though I know they love me dearly, they all have their own issues, and it's not like anybody got particularly worried about Charlie before she dropped a good 20 lbs eating nothing but baby food.
(And yes, in regards to the following picture, I am now a 90210 whore)
Sounds like you are doing amazingly! Your food sounds really really nice and the calories are great :) and I completely agree about the breakfast - you probably burn more calories with the energy it gives you than you would without it anyway :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck!

I am so excited to be doing this! Have my 500 cals for day one all mapped out - I'm letting myself eat exercise cals to an extent otherwise I would keel over and die! Thanks for being such a little ray of sunshine and an inspiration as ever xxx
ReplyDeleteYay you, that weight loss is impressive.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of trying it myself as it seems to be working so well for you.
It must be so motivating to see the numbers go down. I know it motivates me.
Much lovexxx
Not counting breakfast is extremely wise, especially as it'll be healthy and slow-releasing as you said. Without breakfast I would drop! ;)
ReplyDeleteI use parentheses all the time too! (and exclamation marks) When I try to not use them my sentences look weird. I don't know why lol
Thanks for responding to my question lady. I was asking because I wanted to know when is your deadline to get to your goal weight? I know I gave myself until next year to reach mine so no excuses for me.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to hear the ABC diet is continuing to work for you. That is almost 4lb in 2 days. That is pretty impressive. I look forward to hearing about more of your success.
