The FastDay Forum

I really didnt realise I had such willpower.After a very disappointing weigh in today, and feeling down in the dumps, I decided I would waver from my fast today and just eat chocolate and anything else I could fancy.....So off fo the shops for a binge I went...........
Im back now without having any treats whatsoever......I just couldnt bring myself to spoil my fasting and the hard work the last four weeks......How good was I ?!?:-):-)
Sooo pleeeeezze let me start to lose this week......Onwards we go for another week..:-D

Welcome happyholidays. Congratulations, you are adapting! It's really funny that this WOE often makes you feel like you want to eat less. Don't worry, the weight will start shifting soon. I was a slow starter too and I'm also a slow loser, but its better than dieting every day. Good luck

Good for you!
It's incredibly frustrating sometimes when the scales don't register your efforts, but further down the line you'll more than likely get a week where you lose more than you expected. It just seems to happen sometimes!
Have you taken lots of measurements? I know at the beginning my shape changed more than the scales seemed to show.
Keep going, it's frustrating, but effective!

I suffered through a very frustrating month-long plateau. Every disappointing weigh-in would have me deep in negative self talk: why suffer through a fast day to see no results? etc. When in reality, the fast days at least helped me maintain and not gain. Good for you for sticking with it. I think that carrying on in light of disappointment is what proves this plan is a lifestyle and not a quick fix. (Certainly not quick for me, anyway. "But I'm ok with that," she said to herself...)

Thank you all.....xx

It could be so easy to have a big blowout and then live with the regret. A small trat every now and again is so much nicer

Don't be disheartened. I have times when I lose easily then stick at the same weight. It's how it seems to go. Slow is better anyway xx

Oh well done happyholidays that is willpower at its best!! And RawKaren is so right. Slowly and steady is the way...just like the tortoise!

Haha nursebean....I am slower than a tortoise I have just finished my 5th week, 10 fast days and Not lost one ounce!!!

VERY proud of you for not indulging. I have a "goodie cupboard" and sometimes I stand in front of it with the doors open .... look and think.... look and think some more.... then walk away..... I walk away far more than my hand goes into the cupboard these days!!!

Haha nursebean....I am slower than a tortoise I have just finished my 5th week, 10 fast days and Not lost one ounce!!!
