The FastDay Forum

After a successful fast day yesterday, I am doing it all again today for added good measure.

Anyone going to join me?

cheers, Maggie.

Good on you Maggiee for doing two consecutive days
And wishing all FridayFasters an utterly Fabulous Fast x

I'm sort of half here. I'm meeting a friend later for dinner and I'm expecting I won't stick to the 400cal I have left. I'll probably do another half-fast tomorrow to make up for it.

I am in today, third fast day of my 4:3 week.
Not feeling too bad, cos the sun is shining and it's warm, for the first time in what seems like ages!
Just having my second black tea for the day, will put off lunch as long as I can.
Maggie - good for you doing 2 in a row, I have only been able to do that when I was sick!!
MaryAnn - just enjoy catching up with your friend, the fasting can wait if it has to

Not me but I wish I was.
I fasted yesterday but just had a staff lunch at work.. I had a large chicken breast, 2 mini pies, some ham, few tablespoons of potato salad and a rather large portion of tiramisu washed down with 2 beers and I feel so uncomfortable that I'm annoyed with myself. My tummy hurts, I can't keep off the toilet and I've probably maxed my TDEE and it's only 2PM.
Grr.

Very frustrating for you LilSmiler - but maybe the visits to the loo mean it is all going straight thru you?!! And you might not feel like eating any more today - stick to clear (non-alc, non sugar) liquids for as long as you can for rest of the day. Peppermint tea may be good for the uncomfortable tummy.
These things happen to most of us, but the great thing about 5:2 and its variants is that it does seem easier to get back on track. Make tomorrow a fast day (always easier I find after a day of indulgence) and hopefully it will be as if today's extra food consumption never happened.
Hope you do feel better tomorrow

Thanks so much Sassy.
It's just so typical after I was starting to think I was getting a grip on eating on the feast days. It was still a lot less than I would have normally eaten at a buffet though.
Hopefully I will remain full up but not uncomfortable all day. I will try and last for the rest of the day on liquids (easier said than done on a Friday!) but if I am absolutely ravenous later and can't wait until the morning I'll have have some salad and tuna.

Hi LilSmiler I agree with Sassy -clear liquids and perhaps Peppermint tea might be a good idea for the rest of the day.

Eat something when you feel like it, and fast again tomorrow or whenever you are ready.

Take care.
cheers Maggie.

Hmm, I have to be honest and say a fast is not likely to happen on a Saturday or Sunday :/
I have calculated my calories and they come in at about 50 cals under my TDEE. So with the 2 fasts done for the week, if I don't go mad over the weekend I SHOULD be OK.
I'm just sooo annoyed with myself that I went and binged like that, drinking when I didn't really feel like it and eating when I was very full already.
Still, as I said I have been to the toilet 3/4 times in 2 hours because I just don't think my tummy can cope with that anymore. So hopefully it is going straight through :/ Sorry for TMI

Morning fellow fasters. This will be my third fast of the week. Still repairing holiday horrors Well done if you are almost done and good luck to those who have just started their day

Hello fasters
I also did yesterday but need to fit in a half fast today too!
So just liquids until tonights curry!! Hoping a few spoonfuls will fill me up after being hungry all day!!
Enjoy Friday everyone xx

Morning all,

I'm in today although it's a national holiday in France, the other half is working so I'm just going to have a day of cleaning and looking after the kids. Have to plan an outing for later though as I know my danger time is about 3-5, it's pouring down outside so fingers crossed it clears up so we can go to the park or something!

I'm in today, it'll only be a half fast though! Eating at my parents tonight so it won't be 500 cal. Have a good day all Hope you're feeling better LilSmiler!

I'm in and looking forwards to it. Good luck Friday fasters
