Hey

Here's the thread on fasting i began.

In fact my fast attempt failed. I got to just after midday.

I have completely underestimated the difference between fasting while in a sedentary desk job and fasting while having to care for and entertain a toddler. BIG difference. Within only an hour of missing breakfast i was feeling exhausted, and within another hour i was feeling disconnected and (physically) cold, like my blood wasn't flowing right. This was all fine at a desk and allowed me to think of my task/fast and why i was doing it, but with DD it was just EXHAUSTING. At one point she looked at me when she was doing something i'd normally have sorted out in 2 seconds and gone back to playing with her and today i was somehow unable to deal with, and she said "mama's angry" and i thought, i am choosing to do this to her, to us, for no real reason.

Basically by midday i knew i would only be able to get to sunset if i sacrificed her day as i just couldn't cope with normal activities and so when her tuna toasted sandwhich arrived in the play centre we were in, i had 2 bites of it and ate her left-over salad and felt a billion times better. Since then i've had some toast, a cuppa, and of course 3 portions of fruit

Fasting certainly is worthwhile, but for me, right now, and forseeably until my babies are all cooked, born and grown to school-age, it's too much to attempt on a regular basis. I was planning on doing your routine again tonight CQ, but i feel exhausted right now (not enough sleep exhausted, which will probably be because i didn't get enough sleep LOL) so i'm not sure. I'll see how i feel after dinner, once DD is in bed.
