The FastDay Forum

Anyone else doing a Saturday fast?

It is my first fast since last Sunday. I thought I might fast on Thursday (as I needed to...), but was so hungry at lunchtime that I decided against it - and as I had promised my mum I would make her bread and butter pudding, fasting really wasn't an option!!

And I am struggling today, though at least I am not at home until later afternoon, which helps. Just having the first black coffee for the day. Ate well and too much yesterday, so really do need a cleansing day...

Best wishes and good luck to fellow fasters!

Hi, its not Saturday here yet, still early Friday evening but, yes, count me in for a Saturday fast. I am hoping to do Sunday too but will not commit to that just yet. As I don't work, Saturday is no different from any other weekday. Good luck @Sassy1 and any other valiant weekend fasters.

Good luck if you do decide on back-to-back fasts @lovemyparrot, I think I have only ever managed that once.

I am not in paid work either (yeah!!) but I do voluntary work on Saturdays which gets me out of the house for a few hours and really helps the day pass. I staff the kiosk at a nursing home, which also gives me time to go on the forum as it rarely gets busy here. Will be packing up very soon thogh, then off to do assorted shopping so, by the time I get home, it isn't too long til dinner time (yeah again!!)

Hi there, I am fasting too and decided to make it a back to back as I was unwell yesterday. I thought I was feeling sick with hunger, but it turned out I had a stomach bug instead and ended up eating very little. Today I just feel delicate so have decided to stick to yoghurt and chamomile tea for the day

Hi @Debs, look after yourself first and foremost!

Btw Debs, is the York meet still on? Do you have any details of time/place?

I'm also fasting today to complete my first 4:3 week. It hasn't been difficult. Yesterday I went a bit crazy eating over TDEE. Hey ho! Today is another day and I'll feel fine. Good fasting everyone!

I' m in
Good luck super satday fasters and get well soon @debs xx

I've seriously blown it.....start again next week!

I've seriously blown it.....start again next week!

Blown it how?

@Cyclonetithanks for asking! I had a very stressed pre exam session with piano pupils this morning -exams on Monday - and came home to eat my heart out on all the wrong things. Chocolate, cheese and Eccles cakes x 3. Feel bloated and annoyed, so a new start required on Monday. This WOE is forgiving and I'll be OK again. Family staying today till tomorrow and I will be mindful now.

Bit of a late check in but I am in today. Just got in from work and have had my mothers day flowers and box of chocs already because I'm working tomorrow. I now have to make it through the rest of the day without attacking the box!!! Arrrggghhh and they are my faves .

I know what you mean@minsmum

Not overly optimistic of a fab result but there should be some sort of downward movement
