Friday the 28th

Unfortunately at 1pm on Friday the 28th I decided to put a on hold my challenge. My mood had dipped a ridiculous amount that I could not speak to anyone and anyone who did speak to me I snapped at them. So for the sake of any friendships I still have I've had to stop.

At the start of the challenge I hadn't taken into account that it was not just my stomach that it would affect. It has taught me to have a tremendous amount of respect for those in this situation or worse. How they cope on a daily basis I do not know, I guess maybe your body gets used to the lack of nutrition and food but it must be a long journey to get there.

I will participate in this challenge again in the future but this time I will attempt to eat healthily and remain happy!

I suggest everyone takes the challenge to see if they can cope on 1 pound a day for 5 days and let me know their results!

Snack

Day 4 - Snack                    11.00am

I was needing something sugary to give me a bit of a boost so thought what better way than the free food samples in M&S! Pretzel with nutella you will always be on my mind. There was even a wee cheeky hot cross bun sample.

Meal 10

Day 4 - Breakfast   8.45am

Good ol' cornflakes

Meal 9…I WISH

I really want some fruit.  Now I know this picture is edited like nothing else to give off an angelic image of fresh, succulent fruit but surely no matter what it can't look like this;

Reality: Meal 9

Back to the tinned apple. It's the closest I can get to anything 'healthy' at the moment. I was meant to have tomato soup but I can't face the thought of it tonight so I've resorted back to the grainy, sour substance which actually tastes good tonight.

“As our liver runs low on glucose our mood and cognitive function changes. We can be hot headed, snap at people, lose the ability to focus and concentrate, and our memory might even fade."

HAVE SOME SUGARY SHIT TO KEEP YOU HAPPY

Tempted to spend my last 12p on something sugary. Anyone got an suggestions?!

Meal 8

Day 3 - Lunch                  12.00pm

Just looking forward to the end of this challenge now. Lack of food makes you so tired and grumpy - I now understand 100% why once you become homeless it is so hard to get back up on your feet. I'm only on day 3 and already I'm struggling to concentrate, feeling dizzy and exhausted. Sorry to anyone in studio 4 and especially Jacquetta who is receiving the brunt of my grumpy mood!
