Down days

I've struggled with my intake the last few days, it has not been especially high: between 1100-1400 the last 3 days. I just have not managed to do any exercise at all, so I am feeling kind of sluggish.

I am really not feeling fantastic after being ill, it has taken its toll big time, I just feel completely wiped out at the moment. Hopefully as the week progresses I will be able to get back to doing some light exercise.

Weighed myself this morning, still at 118lbs which is fine because I think my intake has been too high and I have not been burning off as much as I would like.

Some days I don't hate myself every waking second of the day, sometimes I feel actually maybe I don't look so bad at this weight...I've just felt a bit low the last few days...I feel absolutely huge...I just find it hard to do anything or be around people at all when i feel like that...

I think I am going out for a meal with the boyfriend for lunch tomorrow (great! Calories), hopefully I will just eat half of it, and then I won't eat for the rest of the day, I want to keep my intake under 1000.

Exhausted and hungry

Today has been pretty naff. I had a rubbish sleep, didn't actually go to sleep until long after 2am then woke up several times, at 6ish I could not get back to sleep, so I've just had a major headache and felt really sluggish all day.

The long awaited snow has arrived, so Britain has inevitably ground to a halt. I made the most of it, and made a snowman (I felt like such a kid again, we haven't had snow this deep since I was in primary school) and I hiked up the hill near to where I live, it was a bit treacherous but the views were stunning from the top.

I was trying really hard to make this another day of under 1000 calories, but i've just felt really hungry all day today, no matter what I have eaten or how much water I have drunk, I still feel absolutely starving. Im at around 1200 ish and I have yet to have dinner, so I'm going to make this a maintanence day, hopefully it will kick-start my metabolism, and I will aim to be under 1600 calories which I think I can manage.

I'm a bit disappointed because I've been doing really well, so I feel a bit of a failure today, but i'll just use this as a maintenance day and hopefully feel better tomorrow. As a side note, I haven't eaten anything really bad today just olives, nuts, and houmous have really racked up the calories....annoyed.
