The FastDay Forum

Hi everyone
Don't think that this topic has already been started...
Third fast for the week, to counter-balance being away from home and being offered mince pies and the like when visiting friends - impolite to refuse!
Is Christmas really that close?
Best wishes for the fasting day

Good luck to all Funky Fasters on Friday xox

Hi,
Good luck on your fast today - I completed my very first ever Fast day yesterday and I did it!

I must admit to really enjoying my toast this morning, as I had not had any bread for 48 hours!

Two months to Christmas today - and here downunder some Christmas carols are already playing in the stores, and of course the shelves are laden with the goodies including mince pies and fruit cake.

Happy Fast Day,
cheers, Maggie

Congrats, Maggie, always great to hear when others have successfully started! We do seem to appreciate food more after a fast, and I am sure that is a good thing
Best wishes
PS I am in Melbourne too, tho currently visiting my parents in Adelaide. Must fix my profile to show location.

Well done Maggie! I know the feeling - I fasted Wednesday and my bowl of porridge on Thursday morning was like a bowl of heaven

And greetings to all fellow Friday fasters! 2 weeks ago I fasted on a Friday and struggled all day, but today I'm really feeling in the "fasting mood" and I know it will be a breeze. Funny how it also helps if we're psychologically prepared.

And @Sassy1 - mince pies?!?!?! In October! Not that I would say no if I was offered one, haha.

hya am in today too:-)

usual friday fast for me... good luck to everyone fasting on this glorious sunny october day ( rain? what rain? )

Hi Kawberlin
Hmm, having family and friends who buy Christmas (and Easter) goodies as soon as they arrive in the shops probably is an indication of why weight has been an issue for me...the mince pie was yummy tho, especially cos I am really trying to cut carbs (but I do miss them).
Great that you are in a fasting mood today - that really helps you get through the day.

Morning all in for my usual fast today. Have a good day all!

I'm rocking a Friday fast, even if today in London I could really use a warm feed day! It's so dark and miserable out there! Good luck all your lovely fasters xx

Second fast day of the week to repair the holiday damage. I have opted for green juice and I'm not sure of the wisdom of that given the weather. Speaking of which, I see the BBC are trying to terrify us again about a storm on Sunday.
Good luck to today's fasters and congrats to all those who fasted yesterday

I'm fasting today - been doing it quite a few months now, getting used to it - good luck to everyone fasting

It is my aim to fast today, but I am already feeling hungry.
I fasted Sunday and Wednesday. I'm fasting today and Sunday as I'm going to a wedding reception tomorrow. But I don't usually even eat on a morning anymore and tend to only eat my evening meals, I am actually hungry! But I ate LOADSyesterday, which might explain it
I will see how it goes, but as I've already completed 2 this week, I'm not too worried
Good luck Friday fasters. Hopefully you're not all in a dither like me

Yes my OH & I are fasting today with just fluids until an early supper. I am off to my Classical History class on the bus so some fasting exercise walking from & to the bus station. I hope my stomach doesn't rumble loudly in class but I'm really hoping I have a good weight loss this week. Unusually for me this is my third fast this week to compensate for lunch out on Tuesday.
Have a good day everyone

Does anyone else wake up on a fast day and just think "meh". I'm not going to enjoy today.

Pip - absolutely! I do Wednesdays and then either Fri, Sat or Sun depending on weekend plans and also depending on how I feel! Wednesdays are always fine - that's the beginning of my working week so in my head I'm just ready to get going.

Sometimes I plan a fast and then on the day know I'll find it tough and resent it ALL day. When that happens I just postpone it to the next day. I've never given up on a fast or not managed 2 per week so far!
