Right so I've had another cookie thing (I was giving them out at uni and thought it might be weird if I didn't have one...) and some lentil bake. 250 to add on, giving today at 721 thus far. I could have more, but I want to mix it up a bit, particularly given I had a few more calories on a few more days this week.
*EDIT* I got hungry. Going with the "listen to the body" thing I'm trying, I had some prunes (about 40) and a couple of small yet filling bowls of gruel (100). 861. Still good!! And I just watched Supersize v Super Skinny last night, the girl was orange!! And clearly had contorl issues with food. She ate 800 cals per day and weighed 6 stone 3 (87lbs), which was a BMI of 15.3. So small!! And far far too skinny. So I also figured that if she ate 800 cals per day and I was doing something similar (but more because I'm taller) then I'll probably also lose weight. Hoorah!
I'm thinking of maybe doing a fast on Friday?? I'm not a huge advocate of fasting but I know some of you ladies are. I was planning on maybe going to the gym then though, so might do it on Saturday instead (when I will be working instead...too much study leads to thinking about eating purely through boredom). I'd be worried it'd give me a totally false reading for weight on Sunday morning though... any advice? On fasting generally? I could always go buy a coffee if I felt light-headed? Or maybe info on Fast 5, whatever that is??
Speaking of coffee - Caffe Nero is so much less calorific than Starbucks!! For cappucino anyway. Quick comparison for the smallest soya cappucino
Caffe Nero - 36cals
Starbucks (this is the short size, not even the smallest on the menu!!) - 62cals (72 for the small on the menu)
Costa - 47cals
So I guess I'll be sticking with Caffe Nero!!!
Also, my skinny jeans (size 10, Zara) are feeling a bit looser round the bum area, so maybe there is a difference in my body!! It's weird - I still look EXACTLY the same (ie round) on my bottom half. Just a smaller round I guess, or it's fat replacing any muscle I ever had on there. I'll re-measure up on Sunday to see if I lost any inches (doubtful!! Particularly with the bloating I had earlier this week). I did weigh myself to see if the bloat was doing anything and it was 129.0lbs which is good for an evening weight.

My biggest tip is to keep a bottle of water with you AT ALL TIMES. And take little sips, not regular swallows from it. Sip when you feel hungry, or have a craving. And try to get at least 80oz. of water per day you are fasting.
Something I have now for fasting is chicken broth in my fridge, it's only 10 calories so if I start to feel weak, I can heat some up. The warmness is very soothing. But this is a last resort for me.
I've also thought about doing juice fasting, and seriously cutting the juice with water so it's less calories and lasts longer. Just avoid any acidic juices, as your stomach acids start to build up on their own when you are fasting and you don't want to add to that.
Good luck! And grats on the skinny jeans ;)
