The FastDay Forum

And I think I'll make it!
Hello everyone. Have been reading through the posts and can see that it's a great idea to have such a supportive forum.
Today hasn't been too difficult and I'm pleased to have rediscovered some willpower.
Fingers crossed I'll stick with it

My first fast day was Fri and I went to bed early as I was so hungry but made it! Woke up with a headache but keep hydrated and it soon faded, going to make sure I drink more on Tues which will be 2nd fast day

I've done 22 fast days (and reached my target!). By about 9pm I usually pat myself on the back for having had a successful fast and go to bed early before temptation kicks in (it doesn't because it seems a shame to ruin all that fasting!), promising myself breakfast in the morning, but as countless others have said, I'm not usually very hungry when I wake up. Well done for your first day!

another early bedder in the initial phases here but that was because I was shattered! Nowadays, I'm doing 18 hour working days on a fast day and thriving on it. It definitely gets better- may take a while though!

Thx for the replies! Went to bed hungry, fell asleep quickly and then woke up after about 15 minutes and spent about 2 hours planning what I'd make for dinner today!! )
But woke up this morning feeling really pleased I made it. Not looking forward to day 2 but am determined I'm going to stick with this.
The really good thing about this approach as for me is that you don't have to diet every day. Brilliant!!
