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!

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!
