The FastDay Forum

OK I don't call it 'fasting', but it works with the alliteration in the title!! I call it 'repair day', because the OH grimaces at any word of a 'diet', but also because I am doing this for repair reasons too!!

Anyway, I'm fasting today and feeling good. Thought we could play a game. Describe in 5 words how you feel / what 5:2 means to you. I'll go first:

I'm in control of food!

I don't actually 'need' breakfast

Feeling rather smug right now

I like this word game!

I can eat that tomorrow

Moogie and Caroline are wonderful

I enjoy cake quite often

Body repairing and using fat stores.

Eating well and losing weight!
Three stone gone, love fasting

Love feeling totally not bloated!
Empty tummy not that bad!
Green tea drip is needed!

Love this game idea muchly

Just today to get through.

What a coincidence Only today I was thinking up single words of emphasis re 5:2

Eating mindfully and delay gratification
Oh that tastes soooooooooo nice
Hey I can do this
Noooooo scales must be wrong
Nothing fits me anymore

Fasting today roll on tommorow

Fasting is easier when busy

Exercise and fasts sometimes works

Clock watching gives difficult fasts

Put fasting failures behind you

Miss snacking far too much!

only on my first fasting day, unsure whats good to snack on and what isnt

Fasting fits for thrifty feeders

Fasting today, I own it !

I get the impression it's good not to snack, because as soon as the body realises there is food about, it asks for more.

However, if tea or coffee just isn't cutting it, I choose celery and blueberries.

I can eat that tomorrow
Wait for 20 minutes more
Know I can do this
Fitting into my target dress!

oh fantastic responses so far I'll have add
Bloody brilliant way of life
