The FastDay Forum

This has to be my hardest day fasting. I can't seem to find a reason, this would be my 20 something fast, been at it since end April and with 3 weeks convalesces mixed in.

I have read somewhere here, that what you eat the evening before may determine increased hunger on a fast.

I havent been tracking properly as new scales just threw me with 3 kg extra. But somewhile ago I was 64.8kg now I'm bouncing between 62.4 and 63.2 now. I want to be real with my goal and get to 61kg, 58kg is just too hard to stay there.

I am sooo hungry and just finished my chicken semi dried tomato cream pasta and its only 6pm. I am a sook and think hormones are wreaking havoc with my will. Heck I was starving at 8 am this morning.

I am drooling and dreaming about food once more. Bring on the next day.

Strange thing is watching cooking shows is helpful while I'm starving.

don't be hard on yourself you've come this far!
hope you make it to bedtime, I'm just waiting for dinner...chicken salad never tasted so good since fasting

Hi Zamale. I've been doing this since February and I sometimes have that kind of day. Last Thursday was horrid. But this week has been fine. So just hang in there on the bad days and think of all the good it is doing you.

Yes I had a hard day fasting on Monday. Headache came on mid afternoon, and just would not shift, and I felt all spaced out and light headed the way you do in the first few fasts. I'd had nothing untoward or unusual the day before. I think sometimes this just happens, and we've got to roll with the punches

I dont always want to post how tough it is, cause so many folk seem to breeze on through, but it seems it aint always the case.
Yes, we got to focus on why and push through and do what we can to make it. Its only a 2 out of 7 day diet. You can tell by my post its not a fast day.

I certainly find the odd fast here and there more challenging! Usually I'd say it's hormonal for me, that time of the month can make it a bit unpleasant but I just power on through and think of the goal! I try to make sure I eat bulky low cal stuff on those days, like a giant salad, so if I feel ravenous in the evening I know I've a couple hundred calories to play with still (though will usually end up just having a mug of low cal hot choc, which makes everything better!)
