The FastDay Forum

@lovemyparrotthanks for the response. Do you find it hard being the last one up on fast days? I managed to get through the evening so far by phoning a friend and talking for an hour. It's now 9:45 and I only have just over an hour before bed. I have eaten about 550 cals so far and am toying with the idea of eating a 50 cal slice of back bacon to tide me over till noon tomorrow when I eat my "breaky". It is interesting to feel hungry. I am beginning to feel it more often, even on my non-fast days, when I used to snack all day never feeling hunger but eating anyway. I am trying to get back to eating meals so this fasting is teaching me to notice when I am hungry.
I hope your evening meal was satisfying. I envy you your jello. It would send me into a binge if I were to have that sweet. Have a lovely and relaxing sleep! Take care.

Yes, @stephd, I do have to find ways to keep occupied the last few hours before and/or after dinner, often before dinner I will try and do a little exercise (we have some home equipment), even lifting a few light weights to take my mind off of food and hopefully burn a few extra cals.

If I were you, I'd have that extra piece of bacon before bed - nothing worse than trying to sleep while hungry on a fast night - bacon is all good on a low carb/high protein way of eating and shouldn't interfere with any fat burning. Good night.
