The FastDay Forum

Just about to go to bed but have had a successful fast today; the first one for weeks that I haven't sabotaged. We have the dreaded Ofsted in tomorrow and Wednesday so I think that probably put me off my food!

Good luck with the Ofsted! It would put me off my food, too! We'll done for your successful fast, mine wasn't quite as good as I would have liked!

I had a really tough fast day yesterday. I felt really unwell in the afternoon and went home to take a nap and work from there. I got through it, but it wasn't pleasant. I haven't had that happen for awhile.

It's Tuesday in Japan, but I'm doing 16:8 on non-fast days, so I shouldn't eat yet...

I'm in today, too! Good luck to all! The Tuesday post has probably already started!

Today was a really tough one. I made it & am going to bed in 10 minutes. I am wondering though, I haven't had artificial sweeteners in drinks (or food) in 3 years or more & today I used some of that squeeze in drink mix in water. I was so hungry all day I wanted to gnaw my arm off. This has not happened in the entire time I have been fasting. Anyone think it could have been the artificial sweetener? I'm going back to tea & lemon water, if I had to do this twice a week, I don't think I could keep it up. Thanks for any thoughts.

Sorry to hear that, Mary Lynn. I think you have days like that occasionally and who knows why. You have a theory, now you can test it and see if the evidence mounts.
