Week 2: Fasting Day #2

Friday 31st August 2012

I took sandwiches into work on Wednesday, then didn't eat them because I got taken out to lunch by a customer. We went to a carvery, where normally I would pile a load of food onto my plate and scoff the lot. Today, I chose a smaller portion than usual, and found I was getting full towards the end. I didn't quite finish the meal, which is unheard of!

It feels like something is starting to change. I have a smaller appetite now, and I notice that I feel full towards the end of the meal so I stop eating. These are new behaviours.

The upshot of the client meal on Wednesday meant my sandwiches were left over. Not wanting to waste them, I had them for lunch on Thursday, meaning that Friday is now my second fasting day this week. It was very strange to finish work this week, then come home and not crack open some wine or a couple of beers, DOH!

Breakfast, around 10:30am:
Scrambled egg (two eggs) with a knob of butter - 300 calories.

No lunch today!

Afternoon snack around 3:30pm:
100g banana - 95 calories.

Dinner around 7:00pm (and my god was I hungry by then!):
Tin of drained yellow fin tuna - 128 calories.
Garden salad with a little olive oil - estimated 50 calories.
Mayonnaise! Just half a tablespoon - 50 calories.

Total calorie intake today - 623

I feel full of energy. This is new too.

I feel slimmer and want to weigh myself, but don't get the opportunity.
