The FastDay Forum

Hello Wednesday fasters! I'm in, today. I'm not sure why, but I've struggled on the last few fasts. I got through them, but it wasn't pretty.

Today feels a bit better already. But… I'm already looking forward to my Mexican pizza tonight! Yum Yum.

In the meantime, coffee coffee coffee!

Good luck, Wednesday fasters!

Hi there! I'm fasting today.
I've been suffering tummy pains and cramps and bloating, which started yesterday morning. They got progressively worse and during the night I had to get up a few times as it hurt to lie down. Cue this morning and a few unpleasant trips to the toilet. Took some gastro-stop medicine which worked wonders and have spent most of the day on the couch. It's 3:30pm and I am not the slightest bit interested in food yet.
Dinner will be pumpkin and spinach salad then blueberries, strawberries and yoghurt for dessert.

I think I spoke too soon about today going well. I'm suddenly ravenously hungry. Miso now or miso later. hmmmm

Good morning all. I'm in also.
Good luck MaryAnn, I hope you managed to keep it under control. If not have a low day, but not as low as you liked. We're only human after all.

Good luck you Wednesday Wonders
@pineconesjay hope the tummy pain has passed ..it sounds like the horrible IBS episodes i used to have. Hope its just a one-off x

janeg is in today, second of the week of three for me. The anticipated feast yesterday which caused the change of days for me, didn't materialise
However, I had a sneaky weigh after the Monday fast and like what I saw. So onwards and , no doubt, a straight line. downwards would be so much more acceptable though *sigh*
Hope the hunger pains pass @MaryAnn and the tummy trouble settle @pineconesjay
Hope the Wednesday Fast goes quickly and well for all fellow fasters

I'm in again, second fast of the week, just having my first cup of tea. Feeling optimistic, managed to jog for 22 minutes this morning which has suppressed my appetite. Stir fry for tea tonight

I'm in, couldn't face it yesterday, feeling more in the mood today, may try Friday as my second day. Good luck everyone!

Good morning
I am in as well, second and last fast of the week.

Good luck to everyone

One of my usual 4:3, so I'm in for a day of fast and abstinence

I'm joining you today for a Fast, the only day this week that I can fit one in. Liquids only till dinner which will be some sort of Mushroom, Chicken and Slim Rice stew. Good luck everyone

Just fell off the wagon today. I was sooo cold and it's wet and miserable here. Anyway ended up having a normal lunch with apple pie. Might try and do Friday to make up for this.
First time this happened and hopefully not again.

@alexandra happens to all of us at least once,specially when it's cold grey and miserable
Apple pie is so cheering and comforting
There's always a next time! X
Hi @SianS good to see you * waving* x

Back on the wagon after seeing some photos of me at a family gathering this weekend. Doing well & not hungry so far, and am running on a large black iced coffee from McDonalds this morning and afternoon. The plan is to do something with spinach, butternut squash and lentils this evening. The bacon in the back of the fridge is tempting, just trying to remind myself I can have it tomorrow.

Waving back at you @CandiceMarie
I've made it through the day, with a bowl of very low cal soup from the freezer for lunch and a Quorn Chilli also from the freezer for dinner. In case anyone is wondering if you can freeze Slim Rice, the answer is a very definite NO, something very odd happens to the texture when you defrost it.
Enough calories left for some strawberries while I watch Bake Off and a mug of low cal hot chocolate at bedtime.
I really must get back into this properly but today has been a good start. Good luck to everyone still fasting
