The FastDay Forum

Safe to say that that's me done.... This evening has felt like a struggle, weird cos I never have any prob in the evenings usually - what am I saying, that's a lie! OK, so this evening was particularly difficult!

@jools7 yes, this has been a revelatory week with mum. While she still gets her digs in (though I'm down 28#, she said "well, no one will notice until you lose at least 60 pounds, you've been so out of control for so long..") but is happy I found something that is "finally working". Doesn't bother me the way it used to. I can detach from it most of the time. Anyway, we're doing well today, will have dinner soon & get through the evening. Congratz to everyone who has another one under their belt & we're almost done for the rest of us!

Ok, I think I failed a fast for the first time in 6 months since I joined. I'm just in from work - a day long board meeting followed by reception that ended at 9pm. There was a lovely salad buffet at lunch and at the evening reception a fabulous Brazilian buffet. All great produce and I did not eat much, no carbs etc. Long work days like that and not able to guess the carbs was difficult for me. I think I'll reduce the cals tomorrow to ensure I keep momentum and then get back to my Mon/Thurs fast next week and weigh in for the challenge next week rather than tomorrow.

Well done everyone and for those of us who found it challenging I do think that is the moment when we learn how to manage fasting and adapt to succeed.

Keep the fast

For those who watch (BBC) question time is starting - not sure I have the appetite

OK, made it to and past dinner; winding down for the night (11pm). Night, everyone!
