1 day to go
6.5lbs to go!
28.5% body fat
74 hour fast

So I fasted til I was stuck waiting at a tube station for my eldest daughter

Broke my fast with nuts, followed by salami. This was double the length of any previous fasts.

So I thought I would be hungry and eat to my appetite. I can literally hear my belly grumbling, but don't feel hungry. This isn't what I expected at all. Is this normal? Any of my fs friends who fast.. is this what happens to you?

So.. busy day today
Daughter has a Japanese lesson at 11, while I get the car valeted
Need to collect cardigan and shoes I reserved in the sale yesterday that match my dress perfectly ( have to borrow the money first, I'm 5 days from payday)
The cardigan is a size 12 and I appear to have gone down a shoe size, from a size 6 to a size 5!!
Nails at 3 pm
Airport collection at 6pm-sooexcited to see 2 aunties, an uncle and cousins😁
Cant wait to wash my face...looks it like Groucho Marx where I had my eyebrows dyed 😳

Tomorrow I'll eat what I want but there'll be no alcohol except for the toast.. so I know my weight will go up, but I can deal with that

Woke to rain ☔️ today, hope it is out of the way for my cousin's wedding tomorrow 🙏🏻

Have a happy and successful Thursday fs friends 😁🤗

Yes Poppy that's what happens. Your body is burning fat and doesn't need much food. Well done.

Compared to fasting you are doing. It's just that our ancestors would have broken their fast by killing something and gorging on the fatty meat - apparently hunter gatherer tribes still give the lean muscle meat to the animals and the old - and innards of whatever they killed, ready for the next fast.

Great job on the fast. Really, really great job on what you ate when you broke your fast.

Eat Drink and be Merry, but don't set yourself up to undo all the good you've done. Remember to fill 2/3's of the plate with vegetable/fruits, so that the meats and carbs are limited to that 1/3 space. Sounds like you're going to be something to see. Please post a photo. It will help you stay true whilst enjoying that piece of cake.

You must show us a photo of the dressed up you! 🙋🏻You have got me as excited about this wedding as you are! Make sure you report ALL about it! 🙋🏻It is normal, at least the times I've inadvertently fasted recently to not be excessively hungry when you are done. 💁🏻Especially if you have kept your liquids up. Our bodies are pretty smart sometimes! 😁
