5:2 Faster

Good reason to end my fast early...
24 Jun 2013, 21:13

I fasted today, but only managed until 8pm...

Tomorrow is my birthday, and I had to make cakes to take to work tomorrow. Two pecan fudge slices made, and two lemon drizzles, and I really couldn't resist any more, so I hoovered up all the crumbly bits and the odd broken corner

They tasted yummy, and I can't wait until tomorrow so I can have a proper slice of each!

For years I followed the advice I was given to eat low-fat diet foods.
To eat regularly to keep my hunger under control.
To fill up on starchy foods,
And I never missed a meal.
All that happened was that I got steadily heavier.
Now I know better....and am losing 23 years worth of flab!

Well, you had to make sure they were okay before sharing them didn't you?

Hope you have a lovely birthday tomorrow!

I remember baking chocolate brownies for my sis & her hubby when they visited at Christmas. I was fasting, so just snuffled up a few crumbs - boy did my brownie for breakfast the next day taste good!

Hi I'd say half a fast is better than none !!! And most of us would crack in those circumstances, Happy Birthday :heart:

Can't say I blame you! I have made a lemon madeira cake ready to be decorated for a birthday tomorrow and 36 cupcakes for a local bistro. I am SO tempted to steal the leftovers!!

Absolutely NO calories in crumbly bits, especially when they are birthday crumbly bits. :wink:

Happy Birthday for tomorrow Heucherella, your workmates are in for a treat. Zero calories as long as you were standing up and didn't use a plate :smile:

My personal take on 5:2 is;
Fasting on Mondays and Thursdays 5:2 36 hours
Green tea all day then less than 500 calories in one meal in the evening.
16:8 all the other days, wey-hey at weekends and daily weighing
It worked for me sloooowly :-)

Height 5'4"

Well, darn! I completely forgot that birthday cake didn't have calories. :doh:

If I had thought about this earlier tonight, I might have had a real piece of my daughter's cake and not the 100 calorie bite size version, LOL. Hope your birthday is overflowing with happy moments and cake!!
