So, I'm back to trying again. A few months ago, I found out that my husband lost his job. I was hoping that by now he'd have a job, but no such luck. I've gained back I think 15 pounds. It doesn't seem like much but when I saw 243 on the scale, it hurt. So close to 250, 265, etc. It hurt. I'm sick of this cycle.
So I've been looking up the 5:2 method and intermittent fasting. So I'm going to try IF for a while. Maybe it will just help me prevent gaining anything. I've been trying it for a few days and it's not been that bad! And these were my long days at work. I come home from work and overeat some days. I'll see if it works next week. But I've also cut out any pop (which I was comfort drinking in the last months) and trying smaller portions/leaving some on my plate when possible. I'm still keeping an eye on calories through MFP and using my fitbit when it syncs properly. I'm having issues with it.
