First day!

by KathyinLondon on 03 Jun 2013, 06:11

Well, I seem to be keen and ready to go but I know when I have a bad day then that is when I am more inclined to give up. I have read the book and seen the programme so want it to work. Glad I found this forum and hopefully writing a blog may help also.
First day back at work after a lovely three weeks off, so am a little bit anxious. I work as a manager in the mental health field and it can understandably be a stressful job.
I also developed arthritis last year and this is one of the important reasons why I really want this to work.
Anyway, let's see how my first fast day goes. Wish me luck!

36 hour liquid fasting - Monday & Friday
16:8 - Wednesday & Saturday

Good luck KathyinLondon, You won't give up. You just say to yourself: I can have that cake, bowl of chips whatever, tomorrow. I'll have a cup of tea. It's easy. It's a bit hard at first, especially in the late afternoon, but it gets easier and easier every time.

I managed ok and thank you for your kind words shoobie1 and Sallyo. It was easier than I thought it would be and I decided in the end to leave my main meal until this evening and to fast through the day. I managed on tea, coffee (with some skimmed milk) and lots of water.
I am not starving as I thought I may be.

Congrats for getting through your first fast! The first few may be tough but I'm on week 3 now and they do ease up :D X
