The FastDay Forum

I am hoping for a standard fast day today, or at least a light day.

As you may (have) read elsewhere, last night I rather overindulged in very delicious home made French food. I feel fine today, but know I am not really hungry (yet...) so will try to keep distracted and put off eating for as long (and have as little) as possible.

I don't suppose there are too many other weekend fasters out there?

Good luck @Sassy1! I'm not even sure I want to fast tomorrow, let alone on a Sunday. I've done two weeks of two fasts each but the scales aren't nudging downwards. Perhaps it's due to it being summer, eating lots of stone fruits, ice cream, drinking wine and beer?!

Nope, am gearing myself up for tomorrow. Good luck though, you can do it. Keep busy!

I am fasting with you today - had a girls outing last night and food and drinks were involved

Thanks everyone! I am pretty happy with my fast day. Didn't eat til almost 8pm, that is the longest non-eating period I have managed in ages (mind you, I was still eating at 11pm the night before!!).

I had my usual (tho at lunchtime) meal of salmon, avocado, feta, olives, mushroom, tomato, walnut and sultana salad (red and white cabbage, iceberg lettuce, baby spinach, carrot, capsicum, cucumber, fresh mint and coriander made into a coleslaw). Think I had 500 cals, even more, with that, but I am fine with not sticking to 500. And some berries and cottage cheese to follow. Was still lighter than my usual light days. If I aim for a slightly light day today, then I have compensated for my indulgences!!

@Wmr309 - at least your fast days allowed you to have those wonderful summer foods without gaining weight. Do you need to fast today if you don't feel like it? I love the stone fruit and icecreams too, tho the latter we have anytime of year... Ditto the wine of course...

Hope your day went well @Zesty, and good luck for today, @Babyfish. And to any other fasters!
