The FastDay Forum

So I think I've decided ...........
veggies and lentils it is for tea follow by low fat greek yogurt with a few strawberries im feeling like something sweet. Fast day meal sorted

Fasting today but I ate a lot birthday related food yesterday so am afraid today may be a struggle. Feeling a bit hungry already. Do you find the day after eating a lot is a difficult day to fast? I'll have liquids only until dinner but haven't planned what's for dinner yet.

Was out of milk this morning so had to have my coffee black, wonder it that will make the fasting harder or easier.

I'm in exam tomorrow so hoping today's last minute revision will keep my mind off my stomach!

I over ate yesterday and I do feel hungrier today. I do however feel more focussed to do my fast knowing I ate too much. Physically it is harder but psychologically easier. Does that make sense?

Hi all, no internet for a couple of weeks and I certainly did overeat last week so I'll be lucky to stay the same weight this month.
Have a good day all x

Funnily enough that's how I usually feel on Mondays after eating a lot during the weekend. It feels appropriate to fast. Maybe my mind and body are just confused because of an unexpected 'feast' day in the middle of the week! I'll just pretend it's Monday!

Having a driving lesson on my lunchbreak today so that will definitely keep me busy and not thinking about eating.

Count me in. Have had a busy morning already, however the afternoon will drag by no doubt.

Going well - tummy full of Miso soup, itsu brand which has 44 calories, more filling than simple Wakame that I usually have. I made it through the staff room to the kettle, everyone was eating chips. Hurried back to my room, past two people carrying chips. Waiting for my soup to cool, someone sticks their head in and asks if I want him to pick up some chips for me?

Actually doing fine, keeping busy and looking forward to prawn omelette

Hello all,

I'm a newbie, my first post here, though I've been lurking for a couple of weeks. Today is my fourth fast - the first two last week were horrible, I had headaches and a gross taste in my mouth all day, but Monday's fast was much much better, so I will persevere. The weight is just falling off so far, and no feelings of deprivation at all. Long may it continue!

Good luck to everyone today

Welcome to the forums, Dimmit!

I'm in today, tea for breakfast and more tea during the day with a veggie frittata and still more tea tonight! Good luck all.

If it was a lot of carbs - yes. But if I stay low carb and eat a lot - the day after involves less hunger actually.

I'm in - mid afternoon and still going well, just plenty of fluids - do feel a bit cold though.

I'm a newbie & I'm in

So far I've had a banana & lots of water. I've got some blueberries to eat later when the kids come home from school which is when I tend to feel really hungry. I've got grilled Cajun salmon with salad for tea which I'm looking forward to.

I'm here, fasting today Not going too badly so far. The kids are off school because of a strike but I've resisted nibbling along with them! Chicken salad for my tea tonight then I'm doing circuit training this evening eek! Will make a smoothie from a banana and some milk afterwards.
