I've completed my 16 week fast last night!!

Topics

The clock struck midnight on the 30th April which signalled that I had made it through 16 weeks of a confectionary fast.

Not a single piece of chocolate has passed my lips, not a boiled sweet, cup cake or slice of Victoria sponge.

I've battled through birthday's, Easter and the temptation of the biscuits which are part and parcel of the coffee break during courses.

The secret: tell everyone your doing it and there is little opportunity to fail (unless you go home brandishing illicit confectionary purchases).

So my treat will be a Magnum ice cream.

I may do another 16 weeks later in the year.

Yes, a little although I need to get more active. I also guess not having all that sugar sloshing round my system has it's own benefits.

Thanks Rog. TBH after a short while it became quite easy and it's only occasionally that you feel like a bit of the naughty stuff

OMG.... you poor thing.... you're broken.

Well done you .... I, too, would have to let everyone know or I'd give in. So, I never tell anyone, then by elevenses, nobody knows I shouldn't be having that biscuit. Hey ho...

"Go You" means cheering someone on, Saint. You knew that right?

If its a wind-up its a bit tedious.
