The FastDay Forum

Am I alone? I get the feeling others don't like weekend fasts. I find them easier because I can make myself busy doing things, whereas at work I spend alot of time thinking. Anyway, it's a gorgeous day here in Okinawa, so one of the things I might busy myself with is a swim in the ocean!

I'm here too. This is my fourth day in a row. I've been away in Europe, cruising and staying with relatives. So needing a re-boot and re-start. Already lost 3kg this week. Don't care if its water or whatever weight. My tummy is less prominent. That makes me feel much better.
All the best for today MaryAnn and others that join in later.

Not fasting today, but a refreshing ocean swim sounds very appealing..

I'm in for a semi-fast today - liquid only till 5.00pm then going out.

Bit tested by the smell of bacon sandwiches in the kitchen But will stick it out, as I'm finding the gap is too big between Thursday and Monday fasts, if I'm going to go out and drink as much as I am doing at the moment

I like fasting at weekends. I'm retired and live in a tourist area, so don't usually leave the house at weekends. I can quietly potter in house and garden and fasting fits in with that. I'm definitely fasting today. Since my last fast on Monday I've had lunch with a friend, a cream tea with my craft group and a boozy pub meal with relatives last night. I need a break!

I wouldn't normally fast at the weekend but my husband is away so I thought I'd give it a go today. Will be my third fast this week. Hope it will compensate for my birthday blow out last Tuesday!

My problem with weekend/home fasting, rather than in the office, is lack of routine - so I've forgotten to drink any water today Will remedy that now

I often end up shopping on fast days, and it's always been fine if I have a list. But today... OMG... I went to a different store than usual. One that's right next door to a donut shop. I don't even really like donuts, but they sure smelled good! What a struggle. I ended up leaving without things I needed just to get out of there.

I'm about to go to bed now. Unusually, I'm a bit peckish. I guess because I had time off while I was away, fasting has been a bit of a struggle this week...
