The FastDay Forum

I was in but have gone off the rails after eating tonight. Blame it on my recent weekend in NY. I think I'll try again on Friday as its my daughter's birthday tomorrow, there'll be birthday cake and it would be rude not to!

Good luck to those fasting today.

Well I did beautifully till 7.30 until I went to see a friend in crisis and well u have to take wine and when I got home I ate! Anyway weight still OK, but plan to eat easy today and almost, maybe fastish

Well I did it - phew! Feel back in control, onwards and downwards

@CandiceMarie: not eating my plate of fettucine was actually not hard. Really since doing 5:2 and also before that the Don't Go Hungry Diet, I find it increasingly difficult to continue to eat when I have had enough. I really had to learn it was ok to leave food on my plate and go against all the childhood training about eating everything and not leaving anything, but having accomplished that, I just can't eat when I am no longer hungry. I don't have any sense of deprivation about this. It wasn't that I was being 'good' or virtuous. There was no 'strength of mind' involved. 5:2 has really helped me with this because I have a whole new appreciation of what Hungry feels like.

Oooh nooooo Sallyooooo@sallyo! This is where we are verrrry different!
I am greedy and a Hungry Horace! I love to clear my plate even if already full..if stuffed i will stop but merely " full" means i keep on yamming! I' m trying hard to learn tho and of course, as i now calorie count everything, i generally just dont put too much on my plate!X
