Hi all!

I'm Stina and I am a total beginner :) Today is my first day fasting, and I do hope it get's easier :) Got a terrible headache and my fingers itch to get a snack :smile:

I live in Sweden and am a bit of a sugeraddict, so I got some lovehandles to get rid of. I have two sons, a husband and work as a teacher.

Welcome, Stinaliza! I think for many of us the first fast day was the toughest. Tea and coffee for me have been a blessing, though I drink both without cream or sugar. Some people find a bit of salty broth helpful on their fast days. Keep up on the (calorie-free) fluids, and you'll do fine. :)

Best of luck to you.

Welcome aboard ! I think the anticipation of the 1st fast day was the hardest. Drink lots of fluids and good luck ! It has really been the best thing my husband and I have ever found which really isn't a diet but a way of life eating ! Lots of luck !
