The FastDay Forum

woke up today with a lovely cold, all bunged up and bleurgh
so gave in to what i wanted to eat yesterday and will have a normal food day today and will try a fast tomorrow, so hopefully a 6-1 week, which has got to be better than a 7/7 week.

thats the joy of this way of living, so adaptable and although i may feel like a failure (i did yesterday) this forum is great for putting it in perspective - it is only one day or one week out of a lifetime.

SW/WW et al have a lot to answer for with making you feel guilty if you have something 'bad' or a few too many 'syns; etc - so glad i am out of that way of dieting but getting the mindset changed is a bit of a slow process

good luck to all this week

Aww hope you feel better!!

I had exactly the same issues yesterday (and succumbed to a small glass of vino) and also woke up with the man flu!!!

Good luck tomorrow!!

Ah, sucks! No wonder why you weren't yourself yesterday...
You know, any day with a cold can be easily turned into a fast day, considering that our appetite goes for a walk when we have colds, flu, viruses etc.
BTW, what are "syns"? I read it somewhere and Google didn't provide any answer...

Thanks both

TML syns are the Slimming World equivalent of the WW points system. And sadly my appetite has not yet gone - perhaps that will happen tomorrow :-0

KrisGoo - hope you feel better soon too

Thanks I am going to try again tomorrow as well - I don't think I ruined it completely yesterday think I only went over the 500 by 60 cals. But I usually only have 300 so fingers crossed it won't do much damage :-/

My appetite hasn't gone yet either just had a very yummy Sausage and Salad bap!!

mmmm one of my favourite things sausage baps.

Good luck for tomorrow - lets hope our appetites go overnight so we can do it easily

Well, you need all the strength you can get to overcome your cold so don't worry!

true - the old adage - feed a cold, starve a fever comes to mind

Starve a fever? Oh my!
