The FastDay Forum

Hi all, so I began my first fast today, as it was a day at work I found it surprisingly easy! I last ate 10ish last night and didn't eat at all today until 5pm - that's 19 hours which is better than I thought I could do, just drank gallons of water but as it was Valentines day yesterday and there were chocolates still in the cupboard, I ate quite a few of those!! Then I made chilli con carne with quorn mince, chopped toms etc with no rice. I know I have probably ruined my fast now due to the chocolate but at least I know I won't be faced with that next time....Hummmm x

Ease yourself into it.

I've just succumbed to scraping the bowl after making a fruit cake for OH's b'day tomorrow.

You might be OK, depends on how much chocolate you had I guess. I think the trick to the fast days is to keep all temptation as far out of reach as possible!!! Kepp going, it gets easier.

Hi, that sounds like a good attempt. I found it really hard at first but you get used to it after a bit. Today instead of two or three tiny "meals" I have just had lunch and I feel ok but I don't think I could have done that at the beginning.

At work I found it fairly easy, just if you know there is chocolate in that cupboard then how can you resist temptation? Mmmm cake, atleast it contains fruit DDDD.

@RachelT7 - It's the evenings I find the hardest, I guess that's because I am usually watching tv. Can easily miss brekkie, not told work though as I don't think they'd understand. My partner knows though Well done by the way, impressive

Thanks - yes, evenings can be bad as I have chocolate in the house!
