Need motivation?

Step 1:Go into a store with harsh lighting & 360 degree mirrors in fitting room.

Step 2: Try on a bikini in what you consider "your size"! Job done!

2nd day of fasting on 5:2 and I'm starving! Not sure I would be able to keep going if I didn't have those images in my head and on my phone!

Ha ha ha good idea!

Lol whatever works for you go for it, we all have our own little quirks that keep us motivated

Good for you! The 5:2 Diet is brilliant, and you can maintain easily afterwards. I've been the same weight, and a size 10, since April 2013 and I haven't been that size since I was a teenager.

Now, don't ever say you're 'starving' - at least for us it's only one or two days a week - and if you have a drink and keep busy that feeling of hunger will pass. Hunger goes in waves and doesn't get worse, and you can eat more tomorrow!

Loved the post. Nothing like humor to nudge your brain away from 'feed me' mode.

Oddly enough one of the things that helped me was getting fitted for new bras. I was dismayed by the size I was told and the style of bra which fitted wasn't what I would have chosen but I looked better in my clothes instantly.

I've always thought carrots work better than sticks...

No where to hide in a bikini though! Love handles and flabby abs!

Hahaha, I hope it works for you!
