Hi all, I’m still a newbie at this and I’m determined to give this fast diet a real go, but this weekend I have been so hungry I have been food obsessed. It’s gotten to the point that I’ve just eaten a huge takeaway dinner after a full on weekend of food and snacking (mainly carbs too).

So I guess I’m just a bit annoyed at myself because I have been doing quite well up until now. I’ll do my diet day again tomorrow, and Thursday this week but I hope this weekend was just a one off and not a regular side effect of the diet. Has anyone else had binge days?

I was a little under the weather so here’s hoping that was the reason behind my lack of willpower. Overall I’m three weeks into diet and (before this weekend) had lost 5 pounds – I’m dreading weighing myself tomorrow incase I’ve undone all my work.

Hi Truffle_shuffle, you were kind enough to offer support to me – I will return the favour…You sound like I felt last week; I had a disastrous last Monday. So, you’ve not had a great weekend? don’t beat yourself up, just get back on track now. You know you can do it, you’ve done brilliantly for 21days -a weekend is only 2 not so great days. If you’ve gained then it’ll be mainly water from the carbs, & will come off as fast as it’s gone on. Let us know how you go this week, good luck!

Oh Truffle_shuffle we’ve all been there. I ate more this weekend just gone than I have in ages. It’s the middle of winter here, the end of school holidays, and I just went with it. Fasting today. I like to think of it as pressing the reset button.

Thankyou Bexcetera and Melbourne mum. Yes I feel a bit better this morning and ready for my fast day again, and you’re both right I can reset progress from today.

I guess bad days are to be expected it just got to me this weekend because I felt almost out of control of my eating – first time this diet. But feeling much more positive now. Thanks for the support as ever it’s wonderful in this forum and great to know you’re not alone.

Good luck to all on diet days today.

Hi Truffle_shuffle, I have fallen off the wagon too many times to mention (notably finding myself eating a mint Aero and drinking a glass of wine in the bath), however, I have managed to carry on IIF (intermittent intermittent fasting), progress is a little slower than I first intended. but there is still progress. I am restarting fast diet this week after a forced absence due to a virus!
Good luck today.

Hi Truffle_shuffle, hope you have a good fast day tomorrow. Today has been my first fast day this week, I’ve finished my supper but will spend the evening filling up on fizzy water as I don’t think I’ve drunk enough today. Feel a bit peckish but cannot bear to let it all go wrong now! Cals at 477. Next FD on Friday.

Thankyou both, it’s good to know that everyone has good days but also bad days too. I’m feeling much more positive since last weekend. I had a fast day Monday which was my easiest yet! and I’ve another one tomorrow which I’m hoping will also be ok.

Funny enough Notsoskinny… when I worked out my calories for my fast days I’m finding I’m usually eating about 600 calories not 500 but I figure as long as it’s working for me then I’ll stick to it. Oh and Bexcetera, when I get peckish sometimes I cut up a carrot into tiny batons then munch through them. It takes a while to get through them one at a time plus not many calories and by the end I can trick myself into believing I’ve eaten more than I have.

Good luck for this weeks fast days.

Yeah managed two fasting days this week. Thanks for advice re: cals truffle_shuffle. I think I was nearer 600 cals yesterday, but decided to stop beating myself up about it! Instead I will be super good today! Weigh in tomorrow here’s hoping there is some downward movement of the needle on the scales!
Ps also started yoga to take my mind off “negative eating thoughts” will let you know how I get on!
