The FastDay Forum

I'm booked in for laser eye surgery this afternoon, so the nerves are helping keep my appetite subdued for now. Good luck to all fasters today .

Hi Chocobunny, I hope you manage to have them done today or very soon. I had mine done about 6 years ago and it is brilliant!

I am fasting again today. Yesterdays fast lasted from about half 7 breakfast until about 8pm as my OH had booked us a table for dinner (unbeknown to me) at the pub he is now running. Haven't seen much of him this week so couldn't say no and the food was yummy and I had three courses and wine!! I forgave him for forgetting I was fasting!

Today I have just had a 49 calorie cuppa soup for lunch and will be having something with lots of veg later - need the goodness to balance out the last glass of wine too many last night!!

Fat Doormouse -- Good luck! I personally find that if I eat breakfast, it makes the hunger much harder for me to control all day. I have personally found it's actually easier to just not eat until dinner. So if you have a rough time of it, you might consider trying it next time. If it's too hard - you can always just eat something!

Chocobunny - wow - good luck! I'm sure it will be fantastic and worth it.

Bellalou - I actually have the opposite problem and I find that the day after a fast, my plumbing really clears itself out. Have you tried something simple and natural, like psyllium husk powder mixed into some orange juice?

Ah yes, so I'm in today too. I gave in and put about a tablespoon of cream in my coffee this morning, because it was feeling so weak and thin >.< Sometimes the cold makes me a big wussy. But it's supposed to warm up here so that should help. I'm going to spend the day working on my french lessons and hopefully skyping with an old friend. It's a bit harder fasting, since my son is off from school today. But he's 12 so we're talking about why Mommy's dieting.

Thank you mariathome and Tracieknits. Tracieknits I had the same problem when I first started but 4 weeks in its back to normal.
I bought some duphalac today and have taken a dose now, so hopefully it will do the trick.
Thanks again.

Thanks tracieknits and Rachel, but have postponed op till next month, made for a great fast today tho not eaten yet and plan on a light dinner as still not hungry I find it easier to eat all my cals as late as poss so not to trigger the munchies

. About time I had a good one as my last 3 fasts were failures, as i can't rely on weekly operations for motivation I think I'll have to go with the thought of being thinner by the time I can see properly!

I thought I might join in . Feeling like a fast should do today, it's really weird but I actually looked forward to a fast. Today's my 5th fast day, but only my second week. Celebration coming up this weekend, so I won't be able to squeeze in my usual fast

It's about 1 in the afternoon here, not quite hungry and I think I can last kcal free until dinner. Haven't decided what I'll have for dinner but will check in later this evening lol to resist any temptations

Hi all, it's my first day of fasting and it's gone really well. I've had three small meals of tuna salad. I've hardly been hungry at all, I'm so surprised by that.It's going to be an early night for me so I don't get too hungry before bed as that will stop me sleeping I think. So gald I've found this board with like-minded people - hurrah and thankyou!

It's my 2nd fast day didn't do yesterday as was out, struggling today & I'm thinking it might be due o time of the month as was so hungry yesterday too (feed day) nearly dinner time will rob go over 500 cals but still better than a normal day!

How's everyone doing?

Just broke my fast with a nice plate of chicken stir-fry for about 250. Pretty happy today went by so easily, no hunger pangs...

Hope the next few hours go smoothly as well. Saved the rest of my cals for a late night snack.
