The FastDay Forum

Ok I'll start us off today. Good morning Wednesday fasters. I know there are a few of us today, I was waiting for someone to start the thread while trying to talk myself out of fasting at all today. Well I'm here now. Tuna steak for dinner tonight, not sure what with yet. Will try to fit a walk in and some gardening this afternoon. Have a great day

Good day everyone, I am in as well for my second fast this week. It's 10:30 and, so far, it's going well. I had a black coffee, an out of date tea (I found sealed tea bags, without any date, while I was cleaning up my kitchen) and I plan on having a soup, either one there is in my freezer or a fresh courgettes one. A lot of cleaning up left to do, some dance lessons, anything to keep as busy as possible all day

Good luck

Good luck everyone - I totally failed with my fast yesterday. I was ok until I ate - and then the ferocious hunger monster arrived! Hey ho! Here's to tomorrow.
Hope you guys have a great day!!

I feel your pain, @nursebean, that's exactly what happened with my fasts for the last month or so. It seems that it all calmed down, I did a succesful fast Monday so the vicious cycle seems to be broken. Good luck for tomorrow

I don't know why, there was a double post, the same exact one. Can someone please delete this one ?

Thanks

I'm here as usual for a Wednesday. I'm actually doing 2 in a row this week as my daughter arrived home from Berlin for the week on Monday and we were going to an event on Monday evening so I deferred Monday's fast till yesterday. This is only the 3rd time I've done a back to back but it is surprisingly easy - maybe a different story come dinnertime tonight! I'm planning a chicken gumbo for dinner tonight. I'm going to aqua shortly which will keep me occupied for a while.

My fast has been quite horrid today tbh. I've told myself I'm quitting todays fast a few times, but somehow I've still not eaten anything yet. I'm not really hungry (a few times I have been a little bit but only for a short time) My head is just trying to talk me out of fasting. Well it's 7:45pm now and I'm waiting for DD to call for me to pick her up, then I can cook dinner. So it will be about 9pm when we eat,,, it looks like I'll make it after all. How's everyone else getting on? Hope you're finding it easier than I am.

So sorry it's a bit of a struggle for you today@justdee

Today has been surprisingly smooth for me, much easier than Monday, without the bitchy mood and not so many hunger pangs. It feels like my body recognize that pattern and, after a bit of a struggle is okay with it.

I had a minestrone soup and is underneath 500 cal, around 300 cal, but I don't plan to eat anything else.

hello all ~ hope everyone's had a good day today

second fast today & all went well. no work this morning (go to work at 3.30am normally) so laid in til about 9.30. forced myself out the door for a 3 mile run & came back & boiled some eggs & had one as soon as they were done. just drank tea & fruit tea today until dinner when I ate omelette & salad & new potatoes with that extra extra light mayo. did give in & have a small bit of toblerone that daughter offered me earlier but other than that have been on track all day, although may have gone over the 500 calories by a little bit. off to bed now as work in a few hours but felt that today went well. definitely need to do this on my 2 days off each week as its much easier when Im not up at stupid o'clock, cause by 9am I could eat my weight in chocolate.
