The FastDay Forum

I hope I've not missed this thread somewhere else. I'm surprised to be the first here today.
It's my second fast since getting back on track last Friday. So far so good. Unfortunately I have to go food shopping, but I've never found that to be too hard on fast days in the past....just my least favourite activity, especially with kiddies in tow!!
Anyway, I plan on keeping busy with school holiday activities. I have miso soup nearby in case I need something later, but hopefully I'll make it through to dinner tonight.

Hi @suzed I am joining you on the fast today - i too plan to keep myself busy and have an emergency Miso - good luck!

Fasting today getting back on track. At an unexpected event last night where there was not much healthy food so didn't eat much which may make today different...starting from hungrier than usual. Have not yet remembered to buy miso soup when in town. I Have plenty of lemons in the kitchen, and lemon juice in hot water or fizzy water seems to be a help. Also trying black red bush tea. Have started the day with black coffee. Best wishes to everyone today!!!

I'm still doing ok, although I totally forgot myself earlier and had 2 cups of tea with milk and half a sugar in each. I'm a bit annoyed as it'll mean I have to cut a few cals later, but it's not a complete disaster so I'm keeping going. I know I'll feel proud of myself when the day is done!
Good luck to the rest of you!

I'm in today for my second fast, already feeling tired lol. Good luck all who are fasting.

I'm in today. Totally despondent and demoralised. 7lbs heavier (and it's apparently water retention but utterly demotivating).

I'm in today for my second fast, but my weight is all over the place and I don't know if I will lose anything this week. Anyway, here I am ready to go and will keep busy in the garden and enjoy the sunshine - when it arrives!

Im in today. Don't normally do Wednesdays but am going for 3 fasts this week. Fingers crossed I can do it. Not so keen on having only one day off between fasts.

Shuffling in this morning...with a guilty look on my face. This is my first fast of the week because I kept putting it off. Don't know what I am doing at the moment.....but it involves eating all the wrong things....

So, today is payback time. Am already on my second cup of tea and determined to claw back some control....hopefully!

So sorry @loversghost that you are still having a tough time. I can totally sympathise with you about water retention, but you are also dealing with pain at the same time - so it's not surprising you are feeling down. Anyone would in your position, so it is only to be expected at the moment.

But.....I have just had a sneaky peek at your tracker....and girl, you really have come a long way! Please please please see this as a blip....because that's what it is. You clearly have shed loads of determination to have got this far, so cut yourself a little slack just for now. Things will improve and you will pick up where you left off...because like the rest of us, you have found the answer...

Sending you a big "all will be well" hug

Take care xx

Count me in today back2back with yesterday.
Off out to do some DIY shopping very thrilling indeed

Morning fellow fasters I'm in today.
Good luck all and may the fast be with you x

Other than my 2 teas slip up earlier, I've had nothing but water for the day. All I have to do is bath my kiddies, put them to bed and I can eat when my husband gets home. Almost there!

I' m in today too..not a usual fast day for me but i abandoned it Monday,couldnt face it Tuesday,so here i am Wednesday,ponying up for a successful repair and sipping Moroccan Mint tea! Good luck everyone and well done@suzed!
Hang on in there @loversghost " this too shall pass" x

Hmm struggling to concentrate at 12:30 mid day, a long wait, and need to prepare a class. Have already had a small coconut water drink as an extra..... Will try to persevere!

Hang in there @eyup It will pass. If not don't beat yours3lf up, just have a low cal day and try again another day
