I had a few of those moments, yesterday. *empathy and sympathy*

Chocolate hot cross buns with Belgian chocolate chunks! Holy fuckity fuck!
Sainsbury's. Posh range, mini ones. The triumph was when I opened the packet and realised that not only were they chocolate chip hot cross buns, they were chocolate hot cross buns with chocolate chunks. The tragedy is that I only bought one packet.![]()
Right. Sainsburys next then! Marks do some toffee ones that are nice.
Have you had your TSH checked (thyroid)?Woke up and had to leave on an errand. Didn't have a lot of time and thought even though it was a non-"fast" day so I could theoretically eat breakfast, why not extend the "fast" a little and not eat breakfast? Downed a cup of tea while getting ready, then ran out the door.
Big mistake! I felt crappy. Between errands, had time to stop at home and have a small bowl of a soup rice veggie thingy along with a short nap. Woke up feeling much better. Not sure if it was the dearth of food or just general crappies for other reason. Either way, a nap fixed it.
Went out again, did stuff, got home and ordered pizza and wings because I FUCKING CAN, HALLELUJAH. Ate 4 pieces of cheese pizza and three buffalo wings. Terrible terrible terrible, I know, but I needed the treat. . My small soup rice lunch soothed my guilt a little, as did the knowledge that Monday will be another "fast" day.
They claim that you not only can exercise on a "fast" day, but that doing so burns more fat than on a non-fast day. Last week I did my exercising on days when I was eating normally. Next week maybe I'll try working out on a "fast" day and see how I feel.
Tomorrow I'll eat normal but healthy - semi-healthy everyday food normal sized portions. Not pizza again. Monday morning will be my first weigh-in post-"fast" diet. Manu's been telling me not to read too much into my weight (he's being terribly supportive of this even though he thinks it's weird - like he always is of all my harebrained schemes), but I know that I will be disappointed if I haven't lost even a little weight. Fuck, even a couple pounds of water weight would make me happy.
But I'm in this for the longish haul. I've promised myself I would stick with this for three months. Prior to this, I spent three months eating under 1300 calories most every day (some days were higher, life happens) with no change in weight (which meant no gain, but still). So even if there isn't change the very first week, I'm gonna try not to stress too hard. Just keep moving forward. One day at a time.
The girl next door. The dirty, filthy, incredibly happy girl next door.
Have you had your TSH checked (thyroid)?
Yes. I was born with Graves Disease, spent up until age 15 on a thyroid repressing meds. At 15 radiated my thyroid, and I have been on a supplement since. I get my levels checked every 6 months. It's been really steady for the last 10 years, but prior to that I could tell when it was off by either insomnia and stress feeling (too high) or weight gain and sluggishness (too low)
When the weight started accumulating, my very first thought was, "Ah, time to up my thyroid dosage!" I was extremely disappointed when all came back fine!How easy it would've been if they'd up the dose a point and all would be well. I asked my doc, "Are you sure?" and he nodded and told me that I'm at the age where bodies start to change. Boo.
