2nd fast day and gone over

:curse: As my title says it is my second fast day and gone over my 500 calorie limit. Trying not to get depressed and turn it into a feast day. However, I'm probably around the 800 calorie mark which is still much lower than what I normally eat! I have a few glasses of wine last night, then I had to get up for work at 5am and work a 10 hour shift. Normally I raid the chocolate machine but stayed away. Next fast day I will stay under th limit!

Well done on not raiding the chocolate machine!
Don't go beating yourself up 800 cals is still good, just cut back slightly on your other days & your weekly total will still be down.

Good luck with your next fast, it does get easier.

800 calories, good.
Not raiding the chocolate machine, better.
Being determined for next fast, best.

That's really really good. I had a 'bad' fast day the other week - decided I couldn't have my second day owing to various reasons. I tried not to really overdo it but wine was involved and some homemade gravy... (not together!!) :) Anyway, it didn't make a difference as I tend to average out over the week. You just need to make sure you're not eating excessive amounts on feed days. It's more a 'law of 7 day averages'.

It's very difficult to dive straight into this way of eating and get it spot on from the off. You need to be prepared to experiment with a few tactics and see what works for you. Are you planning in advance what you will eat on fast days?

You've made a great start!
