The FastDay Forum

Goodness, it's hard! I only had 3 beers last night with my friends but am a complete lightweight, and fasting today is REALLY difficult! I just want a big fat naughty breakfast!
Will I make it to dinner??
AND this week is my first 4:3 week ever, making it extra hard as it seems I have such a good excuse to skip this fast!

Better list my reasons to keep going, for much needed motivation:
*I am 0.8kg away from my target!
*Tomorrow is the 1 month anniversary of my starting this diet
*I have a huge dinner and party on Saturday so I want to be able to eat without guilt
*I love feeling like I can beat hunger and be in control
*That food tonight will taste AMAZING, much better than if I don't fast today

Still, it's going to be tough: 8 hours to go

You can do it - hang in there

Don't say "hang", Debb, it reminds me of my current predicament!

I'm hungover today too. I'm not usually hungry when I'm hungover, so it's easy for me to fast. I'm extra thirsty, too.

Welcome to the club, MaryAnn. Who said dieters were boring?
I am always starving when hungover. My favourite thing ever is a big English breakfast when hungover. I also used to have a weird obsession with plain rice + lots of salt and butter. I get terrible cravings, it's like being pregnant all over again!

I tend to spend the day thinking some particular thing will help but it never does. An ice cold diet coke is usually the first thing. Then coffee. Sometimes it involves food on a non fast day, but it never helps so its easy to pass up.

oh good luck, Im another always hungry when hungover. Your list is good though, just keep reading it whenever you feel like you're going to crack!

I made it! Woohoohoo! It was tough. I ended up having a cat nap at work! Delicious green beans and meat balls tonight really made it worth it

I was hung over yesterday, similarly I didn't have a massive session (only 2 pints of ale and a G&T). I was starving from the minute I woke up. Just about got through the day with a sneaky Jaffa cake at lunchtime! This morning, normal day; not hungry at all!!

Well done to the hungover gang! Lol You all have more power than I do, I wouldn't have even considered fasting while hungover.

Good work, hungover folk, I always want a fat sausage sandwich when I've been on the sauce.
