The FastDay Forum

I wonder why that happens from time to time, when mostly you manage then out of the blue you have a hungry fast day, it's happened to me before, did you eat differently yesterday? good luck with rest of the day.

Hello UN2NET
You'll be fine (says she soothingly!) Any changes we make can be accompanied with a wee bit of fear/anxiety etc. Plenty of people are reporting being a bit scared to start and then loving this w0e. As for eating anything that's not nailed down, again, seems to be quite a common thing. It balances out usually.
Let us know how you get on.

Woke up really early, it's gonna be a tough fast day today...

Morning!

7th fast day today and I'm on a day off from work. Always find it a little tougher when fasting at home but it'll be fine. Keeping busy!

Good luck everyone else fasting today! Second fast day of the week for me - started off the day with a 7k run along the coast - first time I've done exercise at the start of a fast day so hope that isn't my downfall! Un2net - I was exactly same - and the first few fasts are hard but soooo worth it once you have got through those and they start getting easier - good luck!

Second fast day of the week for me and I am already hungry, think it could be to do with all the gardening, exercise I did yesterday, so am going to have some eggs in a bit to keep me going til my salad at lunchtime. Have to work till 10.30 tonight so will have to decide whether to eat before I go or when I come back as I split my 500 between 3 meals/snacks. Would have swapped for tomorrow but going to see my mum and it always involves bad food!!

I was supposed to fast today, but I just couldn't face it. I'll fast tomorrow. I have meetings most of the day, so it shouldn't be hard, as long as my tummy doesn't start rumbling...

That's the good thing about this WOE MaryAnn you can swap days. Second fast of week but something tells me it's going to be a hard one - no - positive thoughts!

Second fast for me too, this week. Going 4:3 as an experiment to work on my self-sabotaging appetite!! Going to be fairly easy for me today as I'm going to be out and about which will keep me occupied (touch wood!!). Just done my morning HIIT and that's given me a MAHOOSIVE booooooooooooost feeling good about the day ahead.

Have a great day everyday (everyday?? EVERYBODY! )

2nd fast day here too, both of the week and ever! Unfortunately due to bad planning I am going to have to do some food shopping, going to look through the recipes first for some ideas!
Am also hungry already, going to make myself some green tea...

I am joining you all today fasting but it feels very odd with only one day between my last fast on Monday. I usually have my second fast on Friday but will be taken out to dinner that day so have changed. I will be having a massage today which will be enjoyable but after one black coffee I already feel sort of empty not hungry exactly but slightly off kilter. I will eat at dinner time with unplanned pork chops to cook since they need cooking today, I suppose I will just have to have lots of veg. It feels very weird today but I have loads of shirts to iron so I had better get on with my day.
Good luck to everyone I hope you have a good fasting day.

Third week in ...Second fast day this week and have had to go for two consecutive days because of family commitments. I was really daunted by the thought of two back to back days but now I'm into my second, my mind is clearer and less fearful. Just had a boiled egg and small grapefruit - tasted sooo sweet ! Good luck everyone- will catch up with you all later.

Good Luck everyone I'm doing fast #22 today.

Janeg,
Thanks for the well wishes. Time is now 6.30pm, 22 hours since I have had any solid food! Have only had coffee and water all day and feeling pretty good. Got a bit dicey about 4pm but got busy with work so forgot about it. Distractions are a wonderful thing
