The FastDay Forum

I feel in need of a fast today...but the urge for the cold weather comfort food is building! I think I've probably been indulging a bit much in the past few days.

Who's joining in today? I suspect I'm going to be checking in often to remind myself why I'm doing this and to beat the comfort food urges!

May the fast be with you!

I will be, but it's not quite 11pm here. Pork chops and huge salad for dinner!

I will be! still 25th here, my daughters 5th birthday party today, so much cake consumed even though I felt really full I just kept on going. Now feeling bloated and headachey.

Does not bode well for my weekly weigh in tomorrow either....

On the plus side I am actually looking forward to a food free day and a lovely baked salmon coated with miso with lots of veggies for supper!

I' m in,Peony in Brizzy and everyone! Well will be tomorrow..bright eyed and bushy tailed!
@hari_b belated happy birthday to yr little one! Exciting time,turning five!
Let's all have a fantastic fast and give our systems a restful healing repairing day! X

Yes I'm in too

HI Peony Blue. I'm in. I've already been to Yoga!! It was the 6.30 to 7.30am class and is just around the corner from my work, so I'm at work super early, super clear headed! Already looking for activities for the early childhood classes. I brought my coffee plunger to work so I could have my black coffee. I feel so fabulous! Mostly I feel fabulous that I made it! I've been wanting to get back into yoga for ages and I've done it!! Lots of exclamation marks!!!!!! Freezing cold day here, snow on Mount Roland I've been told and I'm not surprised because it feels like snow. Plus it's raining. Have a good day everyone.

Oh, and another thing: we had a staff dinner last night at the Thai restaurant and I had to leave more than half my food on my plate because I was full. It was absolutely delicious but 'my body is not a rubbish bin'. I said that and the people around me, especially one who has a battle with weight, was very taken with that statement. I was kind of sad to leave such delicious food on my plate, but kind of happy that I didn't need to eat it and be uncomfortable. YAY!

Er, thank you. I am shattered and off to climb those lovely stairs.

Yep, I'm with you - best to all Lx

I'm in too, second fast this week. Cold but sunny here this morning and on my second cuppa to get going. Busy day ahead which always helps to keep my mind off food.
Happy fasting everyone

Hi Sallyo, we must have posted at about the same time. Congrats on leaving food on the plate, it is drummed into us very young to eat it all but so right to say we are not rubbish bins! Love that.
Have a great day
Cheers, Judio

Good Morning everyone. I'm in for a fabulous Thursday fast and I need it after the way I shovelled down a huge piece of mud cake with cream and icecream last night!! Having a black coffee before I tackle the mountain of ironing.
Hope you all have a wonderful day.

Very well done@Sallyo on the yoga AND the food left on your plate!
I like your statement," my body is not a rubbish bin"!
It's up there with@BreadandWines " the kitchen is now closed!"
Where is B & W lately? X

Ok I am really going to sleep now, kitchen closed and DRINK lots of water (fizzy works for me). I feel a bit jet lagged!

I have started my fast after tonight's dinner and will be joining you tomorrow.

But I'm mystified by your posts about the cold. Google seems to think it is in the 60s F in Australia. If that's cold, you are some very lucky folks. OTOH, I keep reading in the UK news how the temperature has "soared" to the mid 70s F. Cold days in my neck of the woods are the 20s F and when the temperature soars it gets up to the high 90s. Dreadful, eh?

@PeonyBlueThanks for getting us started. I'm in tomorrow with this week's guest faster, my mom. I'm planning on large salads with tuna & fresh fruit cups for dinner. Hope you all have a wonderful fasting Thursday.

I'm in and also cold and wanting comfort food. I've already tried to justify not fasting today to myself a few times, and it's not even 11am.
