The FastDay Forum

I'm also in today, fast # 18 I think, that squab sounds really interesting, not something I have ever seen here. Although I have seen it on cooking shows etc. Maybe I should find a fancy restaurant and try it out.

I'm in - casually checking waste bins for food as I pass them on my way to work.

Still Weds here so off to bed but will join you all in the morning.

Hi all and happy fasting to all. I will be joining you all today. My Thursday are busy so hoping for lots of distractions to keep me going.

Morning all!
This is the first time I have posted in the Fasting Today thread for what feels like a long time!!
Have been away, ill and self sabotaging my fasts and actually have seen a definite correlation between not posting up and giving up!
Anyway thanks to @juliana.rivers new buddy scheme I have a brand new diet friend to keep me on track and encourage me to step away from the biscuits!! (Hi @Lizbean!)

Hope you all have a good day xxx

It's about 6pm, definitely dinner time. I've had a difficult day: fighting with CentreLink - the government office which deals with pension payments. Too much stress at the moment. I couldn't get what they were telling me and felt aggrieved because I thought they were in the wrong and wouldn't apologize or acknowledge a mistake had been made. I have to spend hours of my time waiting and then a simple matter becomes complex beyond belief. I am trying to do the right thing and they are making it impossible. I might have responded differently had I not been fasting, working too hard and under too much pressure.

Any way, the bbq is primed and the squab are marinating in lemon and garlic.@brian1raising squab is an ancient homesteading practice. It was a way people used to grow meat in medieval times and was very popular in the US during the first half of the 20th Century, so I understand. I think it was widely practiced in Europe too.

Morning! I'm in too. Already done my workout for today. Not sure what's for tea yet. Got a quiet day, just a play group with the little one - dressing up for World Book Day.

Morning all I'm in again - not sure if it's a good idea as did yesterday, but going out with a friend tomorrow for coffee and cake, my parents are taking us all out to dinner on Saturday evening, and Sunday will be my birthday, so I feel I have to really!
And then Tuesday will be my fastiversary!

It all makes today seem more do-able! Have a good one, everyone x

I'm in today for my fourth fast. Lentil soup for lunch, boiled eggs and a slice of toast for dinner! I woke up dreaming of food so I think it's going to be a loooong day!

Morning all, I'm in for the third Fast of the week, I have my food all planned out for lunchtime and will be having chickpea and spinach soup with some fish in it, I have my measure of milk for tea and coffee, and my fizzy water to keep me going. I eat at lunchtime

Have a great day and I hope the Fast Fairy is good to us all

Morning Folks, I'm in too, and need to do this as I feel that me weight could creep up.
I seem to be eating too much on normal days (weather might not be helping at present).
Good luck fellow fasters...

I'm in too. Been a busy week so far too. Went on my first walk with a group My friend and I started on Facebook yesterday. It was lovely.

I'm in! And need to be. Blimey I was naughty yesterday. Fish n chips, cream sponge...some crisps with my sandwich in the evening. Naughty, naughty Bean

Anyway, tonight I'm having spinach and ricotta cannelloni. Looking forward to it already xx

Had rather an unusual week as I've barely been eating most days...but making an effort to sit and eat with fam because I need a bit of support (super depressed this week!).

So everyday I've done a 20:4 or a 22:2...and then say with them eating chocolate and other crap. Somehow still been losing but I think it's coz my calories are so low-about 1000 a day so far.

Today's my normal fast day but I'm having jacket potatoes with cheese and stuff tonight so going to do another 20:4.

Third fast? Are you doing ADF @Loosejesns?
