The FastDay Forum

[janeg]

Not joining in today. I was really hungry this morning and I've got another stupid week work wise and staying in hotels. So, the plan is aim for 3 fasts on Mon, Wed and Fri and try hard to keep it sort of 500 cals - ish.
Will be ok and easier the following week. Just go with the flow and try my best.
Good luck Sunday fasters

This is the Stone Soup story...

Some travellers come to a village, carrying nothing more than an empty cooking pot. Upon their arrival, the villagers are unwilling to share any of their food stores with the hungry travellers. Then the travellers go to a stream and fill the pot with water, drop a large stone in it, and place it over a fire. One of the villagers becomes curious and asks what they are doing. The travellers answer that they are making "stone soup", which tastes wonderful, although it still needs a little bit of garnish to improve the flavour, which they are missing. The villager does not mind parting with a few carrots to help them out, so that gets added to the soup. Another villager walks by, inquiring about the pot, and the travellers again mention their stone soup which has not reached its full potential yet. The villager hands them a little bit of seasoning to help them out. More and more villagers walk by, each adding another ingredient. Finally, a delicious and nourishing pot of soup is enjoyed by all.

Ring any bells?

Er, Candy? @Candicemarie? I couldn't listen to the whole Dr Hook thing!! Very amusing though

Was it long @nursebean? Soz i thought wd only be three mins or so x

@nursebean great little story, reminds me of my favourite 'The Emporers New Clothes'

Oh I LOVE the Emperor's new clothes. So much of that happens these days doesn't it. Great story

Well I've had a great fast today. Didn't feel hungry at all and ended up having less than 400 calories. Hope I can be so well behaved tomorrow

Well done @Nursebean x
