The FastDay Forum

We ( OH & me ) planned to go shopping today so set off at 8 am with only one cup of tea no sugar in my tum. Don't like public toilets so tend not to drink much on trips out. On our way home realised it was gone 3 o'clock and we had not eaten or drunk a thing. I said to my OH "we could have an unplanned fast today" ( he is following the same WOE ) he said I was just thinking the same. So we have and how easy it was. Normal days are Monday and Thursday, but as Monday is my birthday anyway we have just shifted the days about. Does anybody else find the week ends easier than week days.
We are now thinking of making Saturday a permanent fast day.

I'm the opposite, weekdays (Mon Thurs as a rule) are much easier for me to fast on as i am busy at work so dont really have time to think too much about food. However weekends are another matter, & i find i do over indulge somewhat, but i dont go too much over my allowance so its not too bad. I think weekends are bad because i have more time on my hands and its too easy to snack. But having said that i am doing ok, 7 weeks in and 11lb down. You do whatever you feel is best suited to you.

I often fast on Sunday which gives me the opportunity to fit in a mini fast midweek if I feel like it. I can be quite busy on Sundays so its much easier. In the week I'm stuck in the house a lot by myself so time goes more slowly and there's more chance to feel hungry.

I like an unplanned fast when you don't actually get up thinking about the fact that you will be going all day with no food! I don't much care for the anticipation even though the actual fast usually goes OK.

Sunday is an easy day for me, I also do Tuesday, which I share with my OH who just does 1 day and is losing stacks of weight in the process due to changed eating habits.
