Have you ever dieted so hard and then eaten like a pig?

Today I had almost a bottle of wine, pint of peroni and a sandwich and a bag of crisps. The rest of the stuff was porridge and bananas. Tomorrow I'm going to be more strict or I'll never shift my lockdown pounds. Trouble is though, I'm still hungry.

That happens after a religious fast, I eat much too much.

Thanks for the heart on my photo.

@samueltyler2 yes if you starve yourself too much you crave food more than ever. But I'm doing very well on my diet so far and are still managing the odd treat and are not so hungry anymore.

@meggie I lost 40 pounds on weight watchers. It is now 40 years later and v I am within 5 pounds of my low weight.

@samueltyler2 you learnt to eat properly which is what I'm doing and keeping a food and exercise diary. I waa eating at the wrong time and having too many cards. You have done so well as sadly many do put the weight back on.

@meggie I also took serial photos as stimuli.

@samueltyler2 I was about a stone over weight and have nearly lost it all now. I thought if I don't do something it will creep up even more. Now I am starting to like looking in the mirror again.

@meggie my weight loss started with my daughter's wedding pictures. I looked fat, and old. I decided to do something about that. So we keep that photo near the pantry.

@samueltyler2 that is often the turning point for many. Mine was my clothes getting too tight. We had a long lockdown in the UK and I ate more and exercised less.
