Hello.

I have spent many years dieting. WeightWatchers, Slimming world, cabbage soup, slim fast...you name it. They always started well, but then I would always fail.
I spent a few days scouring the web for information about this diet after my 15 year old son told me about it. The idea of being able to eat what I like on a feast day (within reason), well...it meant I had to try it, last chance saloon really as my GP has been pressuring me for a gastric band.

So, it starts!

I had my first fast day yesterday. Filled myself up all day with tea. Ate an apple without calorie checking it - BIG mistake! Note to self: no eating fruit on a fast day! Then my 334 calorie evening meal, follwed later by a slice of ww bread toasted with a scrape of spread. I must admit by 2pm I could have eaten anything not nailed down. However, I made it! clap on the back for me yippee.

Today, I thought I would be raiding the fridge, first in the queue for McD's etc. But no, it wasnt like that at all. I had egg and toast for brekkie and a tangerine and apple at lunchtime. It's just gone 5pm and the only thing i fancy is a cuppa!

Sorry, this is such a long post, but i'm so excited!!! :grin:
That's great start vennessa, it is exciting isn't it?
Long may it continue
Well done Vanessa. It really is surprising at first how your appetite changes after fasting. Two fast days done for this week and I feel great with no food cravings!

Best of luck.
