Re: [fast5] Re: Abstinence Rules !

Oh yes, the las 2 hours seem to drag a bit. I found that by moving my window forward to 4pm its much easier. 4-9 seems to suit me better as I am never really that hungry after 9 anyay. Sometimes I just hang on till 4.30 and adjust my end time accordingly.

The real tough challenge for me is the week-end when everyone is eating bacon and eggs for breakfast. - The dog will get 2 long walks this weekend. The dog (Mollie) is now looking very much like an airbus with legs!

Since I started this diet she is now getting all the food that would normally have entered my digestive system! I have had to start throwing scraps away instead of feeding the dog......which leads me to another thing that I need to work on. "Throwing food away" - I find it so difficult, and no my mother did not tell me about the starving children in Africa, and I was never forced to eat anything I did not want. I just find it so hard to throw away good food that is still edible. I keep practicing though, tears rolling down my face when the food hits the bottom of the bin.......I am sure it will get easier....everything else is.

Yay for you!

I was able to skip a whole day yesterday with no food, and it was easy. But today was I hungry, looking at the clock, is it time to eat yet? I started eating a bit early, around 3:30. I ate a little more than normal, but not overstuffed.

Tomorrow I will eat dinner with my friend.

I have dieted on and off for 28 years which inevitably led to a loss of normal eating habits. I would continually pick at foods all day, overeat at all meals and generally cram food into my mouth at any opportunity.
