:?: Here's a thought: If you are in recovery from alcholism/ drug addiction - you put the lion in the cage and never let it out.

If you are dealing with compulsive overeating - then you must take the lion out of it's cage three times a day and take it for a walk.

That's why I like fasting - I only have to walk my lion one time a day.

It goes without saying ALL addiction is excruciatingly hard to live with.

There were four people fasting at the class last night. They only issue I found was that my energy levels were significantly lower, it's difficult to say whether I would have worked harder but either way it felt great!!

Happy happy happy!

Afternoon everyone, glad to hear the sun is shining somewhere, just wish it was here :neutral: Worked a night shift last night and got stuck in snow on a hill trying to get home at 6am. A very kind gentleman came out of nowhere with a shovel and helped me get up the hill :victory: Had a sleep now and have lit the log burner so nice and cosy now. Glad its not a fast day so i'm off now for a big bowl of tomato soup :smile:

Second fast day today!
Found it a lot harder this morning to go without food. I think I was in the wrong frame of mind (starting to come down with something).
However I lasted until around 1.30 when I had a slim-a-soup just because I was determined to eat something and thought at least that is only 54 calories. Unusual as Monday I lasted until 6pm for dinner.
I ate my soup and then as it's my holiday I sat down to watch TV and fell asleep! A sure sign I'm unwell... anyway, when I woke up after around half an hour I felt a lot better and am now ready to wait until dinner time for my last 450 calories. Planning a small chicken dinner (at 350 calories, all measured out) and then a hot chocolate before bed (40 calories).
So glad I'm nearly there, today was more of a struggle but not long to go :)
