I would get hangry and hurt someone if I had to fast until dinner!

I did get all spun up because the report I reviewed this week used a word I didn't like and I got overruled by the PM on getting rid of it, but I just kept saying, "I HATE IT," and that didn't go over well.

OK, I really need to read my book for book club this week. It's long and I've been lazy...

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

My SIL is doing this twice per week, because she's got a lot of cancer in her family and body fat is linked to that cancer.

My cancer fear is why I've been toying with trying it, but I keep backing off because 1) seems hard, and 2) I don't want to lose weight. I know they actually advice eating 600-700 calories when fasting, but still... that's not much.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Found my missing coffee grinder lid, woohoo!

Fasting twice a week sounds really hard. If I get less than about 1000 calories in a day my brain stops working.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I basically have never missed a meal in my life, and am often lightheaded and hangry in between breakfast and lunch! Fasting I think is not for me, although I sort of wonder about strategic deployment of small amounts of food throughout the day.

I've been having to eat 6 times a day on my Gestational Diabetes diet, and I have maybe felt hungry once or twice in the past several weeks.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I just eat way too much, I would need to taper before fasting or my body would freak out. I have never been able to stay on top of calorie counting.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

This was true of me when I had a fast metabolism. Also when I was trying to gain weight.

These last few months I've had times when it was mealtime but I just wasn't hungry. So I've been skipping meals from time to time.

Yeah, I bet that would be a better way for me to eat, really.

I'm not sure I could fast on a work day because of a) the plentiful food at my office, and b) how I would cut someone. Right now I'm just trying to be mindful and only eat when I'm hungry, not just because it's there.

Some dude started using a leaf blower non-stop at 8am this morning. SO LOUD.
