so i had a salad - 1 large iceberg lettuce leaf chopped, one tomato, one closed cup mushroom and an inch and a half wedge of cucumber chopped. i also had about 5 grapes, so overall today about 40 cals (i think!)
but i didn't eat it all. i put it into a new bowl that i bought today (my other ones were too wide and flat so food spreads out and seems like less). anyways, in my new bowl, my salad came to the top - it seemed like loads! i ate it quite slowly but got full quite quickly. i think i may be a bit hungry now, but i don't want anything so will probably down some water and have a green tea.
I've been having loads of green tea and grapefruit juice today to try and raise my metabolism after my little fast - the last thing i want is a slowed metabolism when i start eating again! i need to go back to eating breakfast tomorrow as i need to do some solid days revising for my exam on tuesday. i find a small bowl of cereal keeps me going for much longer! then melba toasts and lettuce for lunch, and then i rarely get hungry in the evenings anymore. I've been drinking loads more too - but robinsons squash. i prefer the taste of it to water. its got no sugar and is low cal, but I'm still drinking loads of it so it must be adding calories. i think its about 5cal per 250 ml, and I'm drinking at least a litre a day :/ ah well, at least there's no sugar!
i am going to allow myself a krispy kreme as an after exam treat, but i think ill juice fast the next day or two to make up for it - can't let myself get back into old piggy habits!
hope everyone is doing good, and i wish you all your perfect body!
:)
