The FastDay Forum

First off, hugs to Judio. What an experience!

Don't know what I'm having for dinner. I have some frozen meals around the 300 Cal mark and I'll just stick my hand in and pull one out. Doesn't really matter what it is. By 6 o'clock I'll eat anything!

Here's something that was posted on another board I frequent. It will help pass the day and make you forget your hunger pangs. It's Nellie Melba singing Willow Song and Ave Maria.

Judio: how appalling! I wouldn't have been able to fast! Thank God it wasn't worse!

Oh Judio how awful I do hope he's as OK as he can be and that you are looking after yourself too.

I am in today although I wish I had done yesterday instead as I have just booked last minute tickets to see BEYONCE tonight so it is going to be a very long day. I'm wondering whether to give in and fast tomorrow but tomorrow is Friday..?

Stay with us LilSmiler! Beyonce will take your mind off fasting

You'll be so glad you did when you wake up tomorrow morning.

So sorry to hear about your sons accident Judio. Best wishes for a full recovery. Lilsmiler, why don't you eat no more till dinner tonight and fast all day to borrow till dinner then eat and drink what you like both nights - would that work?

I don't know.. what do you think? I had a chicken pad Thai and some wine last night so I really wanted to be good today and I hate not completing fasts.
I will probably only want a sandwich or something but I'm guessing it will take me to about 600-700 cals.
Tempting!

Judio what an awful thing to go through, comfort chocolate, wine etc of course. Hope all goes well with his recovery
Well I must rush off the neighbour is cooking something that smells delicious so I'm going to have shut all the windows and keep the smell out

fasting here, after a terribly nibbling day yesterday - must focus and preparing and eating before I get hungry!

I'm glad to hear your son is ok Judio, can only imagine what a scare you would have had. I wish him a speedy recovery.

I'm doing my usual Thursday fast on this (now) sunny day. Dinner will be tuna patties from my daughter's FODMAP book, with a lovely big salad.

Have a lovely day everyone!

Not fasting today as my sister is up from Melbourne and we just had a delicioso Italian lunch in Haberfield.( Sorry to brag)
But I'll fast tomorrow instead as she leaves in the morning.
I still did my laps this morning- dragged sister along as well.
Have a good day everyone.
PS Judio- so glad your son is sort of Ok and wishing him( and you! ) a full recovery.

Fasting today but the fasting apathy has set in. This morning it was "another fast day *big sigh*. I guess it's because it's not really showing on the scales and the pre-menopause I thought was done with isn't (again). It's a feeling of nothing is ever going to end!

That's no good Lady Muck!
I'm peri menopausal too but the weight is coming off slowly which proves that ladies 'of a certain age' can do it, however long it takes. Have you been mixing it up at all? E.g. 16:8 or what have you?

Hi Debs, I started 16:8 a couple of weeks ago, but no noticeable difference.

The hormones, which had seemed to be settling down (6 months no period), have been hitting me back - 3 periods in less than 2 months and a pizza face with a gazillion spots. My OH 'joked' that 5:2 was making me young again! (I know it's not 5:2 doing it, just crazy despairing hormones. ) Perhaps a final hoorah?

[Debs]

Bloody hormones, I know all about those!!! Feel like a doom laden, angst ridden teenager some days. Maybe soon I can be a teenage weight to go with it?!

Feeling better, thanks Deb. Just turned down a banana. This morning I probably would have taken it!
