The FastDay Forum

today is my 2nd fast day and i have been in a bad mood with a short fuse since tea time, does this get better the more fasts you do or is it just a side effect and is there anything to make it better. I have also learnt not to attempt an online tesco shop on a fast day as am now starving

Hi Jacks....Im doing my 6th today.....thankfully have nt had any mood swings so far....try and keep as busy as possible ...i find that helps....and tonight have a long hot soak in the bath to relax?
Im finding my fast days get easier as I do them
good luck

If you look at previous posts jacks you will see that this is a common thread.You are not alone

Keep going jacks, it does get easier the more fast days you do.

I would say the same... Keep going you'll get there and fasts do get easier

Definitely gets easier. Although I hate cooking a proper dinner on fast days because as soon as I smell the food cooking, I turn into a grumpy beast until I'm fed! Last night I actually made tonight's dinner so it would not be an issue.

I was really grumpy and irritable my first few fast but it passed quite quickly, probably by fast 4 or 5. Just accept that you are in a bad mood and keep out of everyones way.
