The FastDay Forum

I always feel a little anxious on the morning of a fast day - it's weird, like I'm setting myself up for it to be really hard. Does anyone else do this?!

Yes, and it's odd because I've been doing fasting since the start of November...you'd think I'd be used to it by now!

Yes me too...I have been doing it for 6 mths...and always feel like this....I always think will I get hungry...will I do it today...don't know why this happens....because out of the 6 mths I have only had 2 FD which I failed in....and buckled a bit....just the morning I feel like this...it tends to go....least we know it's a normal feeling now....I'm fasting today...hope it's a good one x

I'm fasting today too, just on my second cup of green tea before I go out with the dog and then to work.
I think it's because I always worry that I'll feel weak or I'll be swayed by something high in calories! I tend to eat when I'm bored, or emotional, so if I'm heading for my period or I have an evening with nothing to do, I will just think about food. I've found that having something to do, even if it's just tidying/sorting through cupboards, or cleaning the bathroom, distracts me enough. Then I go to bed early!
I normally shut myself up by saying "it's only til tomorrow" but in a morning that doesn't always feel like a comfort!
