The FastDay Forum

I have entered the dark place....this isn't good as I am meant to be doing my first fast back on this diet

Hey you, stop it!

In my opinion Sunday is a crap day to fast, but each to his/her own.

How's your doggie? and your nice OH? haveyou taken them both out for a brisk walk today?

Huggsssss

Sorry I meant to put I am meant to be fasting tomorrow. Just had a big sunday dinner and pudding. Wondering if I should weigh myself tomorrow...will it motivate me or just depress me more so I want to eat for comfort?!

Doggie and hubby are good, we went for a walk earlier which was nice. Just been doing housework this afternoon which made me feel cheerful(must be the physical exercise releasing happy endorphins) but now im just sitting her with rubbish on tv.

Hmmm good question - to weigh or not to weigh (when you know you are going to be heavy)?
I can only say that in the past when I know I have been gaining I didn't weigh, denial I suppose. When I feel in control I weigh. So I suppose better to weigh and acknowledge it and take control.
Enjoy your rubbish TV

Ah, cammon, it's only a fast. It will be over before you know it.

Hey, you have a hubby and a dog. I've just split up with the love of my life and my dog is old, deaf, arthritic and can barely walk. As TML13 says, the fast will be over before you know it. Good luck!

Aw, Franglaise... are you OK???

Hugs all round {{{+}}}
On a positive note 'Young Montalbano' will be glueing us to BBC4 next Saturday night *dreamy*

That Sunday feeling is horrible isn't it. I had years of sorting out cover for absent colleagues on Sunday evenings/Monday mornings. On top of feeling meh myself, it almost finished me off!

At the moment I'm watching dreadful tv and eating too much chocolate. Can't be bothered to move the (huge) bars of temptation out of reach.
I know that depression is much worse than this, so take it easy Claire. One step at a time and stop worrying about tomorrow being bad before today is done. :hug:

Hope to see you on the fasting today thread tomorrow Claire, don't worry about it and if you don't fancy it after all then just try to eat healthily for the day, you can still come here and tell us about it ether way. I know you probably can't come on here when you are at work but think of us with our green tea, water and bovril keeping us going till dinner time anyway and know that we are strong together

Claire

I WILL be with you and supporting you tomorrow.

Go for it girl.

Broken promises Claire ? Well I don't believe it we haven't even made it to Monday yet so pull yourself together girl
On the subject of the scales well after a holiday earlier in the year on my return I didn't deffo well I could tell from the seat belt on plane.
But before I started on here I really Wanted to know what I was up against, so big decision for you but they're only numbers and if you get your head in gear those numbers will be a hell of a lot smaller
If your ''dark place '' is because of the other shits in your life Forget them move on jump on walk on (dog wise ) come on with me Sue

Hi Franglaise,

Good to see you back here again but sorry to read that things are not working out for you in your personal life and sad about your dog. I hope things pick up for you soon, please don't go AWOL again, we had all noticed that you had slipped out of the room, so to speak.

A big hug on its way for you and also one for your dog.......................got it? That was the dog's, this is yours.................

Take care of yourself and your faithful old friend,

Yes it is good to see your smiling face Franglaise. Sorry things are not so good at the moment.
Claire I've started my fasting day and hope to see you on the fasting thread soon. As everyone says its only a day, not even that really if you take out sleeping time. If I can do it and I love eating more than I love most other things, then you can do. See you fasting soon
Christine.

Claire - I'm fasting today, for the first time in over a month. Was supposed to start last week, but put it off so had to give myself a shake to get going today - we can do it!

Franglais, I'm so sorry to hear about your split. You have been a constant on this forum since I joined, and I know it sounds silly, but I think you really get to care about your cyber buddies! I'll be thinking of you.
