The FastDay Forum

Hi All!

I'm fasting today instead of my usual Thursday as, with the long weekend for Easter, my OH and I are heading off straight after work tomorrow to Sydney for the weekend, hence I can just imagine my 'I'm-off-on-a-holiday' brain telling me to celebrate with a glass of fizz!

Safer to fast today I thought - although I am very hungry (shock) and it's only 11am. Oh well, lots of water and lots of veggies tonight.

Good luck all Wednesday fasters

I'm with you kelkelkelster! I too am doing Wednesday instead of Thursday to allow tomorrow to be the start of a loooong weekend - not ending for 10 days!

Unsure why I had a munchie attack last night of crisps and chocolate?? Certainly making me feel very much in need if today's fast. Soup tonight. The weather is getting cooler.

Good luck everyone

Where do you live, Otter? I'm in Melbourne and am in a scarf today...! Heading to Sydney tomorrow where I'm promised warm(er) weather. This isn't what I signed up for when I moved from the UK to Aus...!

My munchie attack last night took form in lots of mashed potato! Almost worse I think?!

Fasting today and I'm hungry lol. I am only having coffee with a small amount of milk till I allow myself my one milky coffee then my meal at dinner. Had to really motivate myself today because I think I am already in the easter holiday mode. My kids are on school holidays after they get home from school this afternoon .

Hi ladies. I'm in today instead of tomorrow for the same reason as you both. Plus we are going out to lunch tomorrow with my mum and kids so I asked hubs if he minded swapping from Thursday to Wednesday. He agreed and pointed out that Thursday will be the equivalent of a Friday night and the start of easter break where wine will be mandatory!
Monday nights dinner tonight- stir fry chicken and veg with chilli,black bean sauce. Its looking an unappetizing color but it tasted really nice on Monday so I'm hoping for the best. My munchies attack last night was pork crackling! ( note to self- next time only chop it up when everyone's home)!

I'm in today rather than my usual thursday too. Dinner party tomorrow, so definitely wise! Struggling a bit today, as I absolutely gorged on chocolate yesterday (though weirdly seem to have lost weight anyhow.. oh the vagarity of the scales!)

Hi everyone, yes I'm in! Very busy in other ways, feeling the stress if going away in less than a week - I usually eat when I'm stressed, hmm, I'll see how I go...
Good luck to Wednesday fasters out there!

Hello all, lunchtime here and managed to avoid all food until a handful of nuts so I can take some tablets which can't be taken on an empty stomach. Being kind to myself today as it's my first day back at work, although that doesn't extend to comfort eating!!
Good luck all.

I'm in too - Fast number 20 - Tomorrow Easter begins with all the food related to it, ready or not

Yes I'm fasting today willingly after an Indian buffet meal last night including very little alcohol and feeling fragile this morning!! Carb overload I reckon.

Good luck @Debs @Jools7 And @julianna
Let's make this a good one together.

Me, me, me. I'm in today. Easier to fast at home.

All OK Karen is the hubby well @rawkaren ?.

Hi @sue.q. He has been better. Left a report on the chatterbox thread. Need to get him fixed. really lovely to be home though and hear the dawn chorus!!!

Me too. Fasting because I have a small operation this afternoon (thankfully under general). Should be a breeze as only small sips of water allowed up til 12pm. Probably won't be eating something til well gone 6pm. Good luck Wednesday fasters.

I'm fasting today instead of tomorrow as I am sure I shall want to celebrate the start of my Easter break tomorrow evening with a drink or two!
