Lunch: Weight watchers chicken soup (the watery one) (51 cal)

Dinner: Tuna steak (150 cal) + Broccoli (30 cal) + carrots (6 cal) + Lettuce (5 cal) + cucumber (4 cal) + radish (3 cal) + tomato (22 cal) + mug of tea (25 cal) + apple (50 cal).

I do feel a bit hungry, I may eat Jo's breakfast now..... or maybe I'll take the dog for a walk to distract myself for a while.

Looking forward to breakfast now but also my weigh in

You know that bit you left?

No, forget it, it would never get here in time

Think I'm delirious from lack of cals ...

This is my second fast day and it's been much easier for me today. I had a couple of tricky food social situations today. A student brought me some yellow sweet rice, I felt awkward turning it down, thankfully she's muslim and so understands the concept of fasting! Though, I think for her it might not have been a proper fast as I was drinking coffee. I explained why I was doing it, though.
The second, I was working later than usual and my boss gave me a chocolate but I took it and I still have it in my bag for tomorrow! (I don't feel like sharing I'm on a diet with colleagues yet, waiting to see how it goes first)

But generally I'm feeling brighter than I did on Monday, though I think that was a fairly stressful day so that might've have more to do with it.

I go for a small breakfast in the morning and a large dinner and nothing in between. I did pack some cucumber and carrot in my bag just in case but I didn't need them. Maybe next week I'll have a go at not having a morning breakfast and see how long I go.. It's amazing how satisfying, after a long day of not eating, a big pile of steaming veggies, an egg and feta cheese can be, a sort of Greek salad for a winter's day.
Now, what to not have on Monday!
