Minols – sounds like you had exam season sorted properly! I love the idea of being met with cake. Might have to suggest that one… I’m studying French, Spanish and Italian. Yesterday’s was an Italian oral exam! But it is a massive relief to have out of the way.
Sarah – don’t beat yourself up too much over a sausage roll. Yes it’s annoying, but it the grand scheme of things, the effect of it will be minimal. Onwards to better things!
Kay – it’s going great thank you! I was thinking yesterday that when I was doing my first fasts three weeks ago, it seemed such a struggle. I’d be famished all day and thinking about food constantly. Yesterday’s FD seemed such a breeze when I think back to how I used to feel. I guess it’s just all part of making it a routine that you stop thinking about, once you realise that you don’t die on your fast days! I think doing my fasts on alternate days also helps with that as it’s a simple rhythm of one up, one down, and repeat.
Caspersmum – why don’t you try telling yourself you’ll just do one fast day a week for a few weeks. Prepare a delicious 500 calorie dinner and make plans to eat it with someone, so you’re accountable for it. Remember a FD isn’t a punishment because you hate your body, it’s a WOL to help look after it and be your healthiest. Pick a really busy day where you’re out and about and thinking about other things during the day. And you’ll be back in the swing of things in no time!
Dragonfly – keep strong. You’re doing great.
Jean – sounds like a fantastic day! Good luck with the fast.
NFD for me today. Stuck to my FD yesterday despite going to a house party. Stuck to my premeasured gin allowance (I feel such a loser but I know it’s all worth it, and I’m always surprised how tipsy even a little gets me haha!). Big night out tonight! I generally stick to spirits and diet mixers on nights out so I should be around TDEE without really trying today. Hooray!
