Fasting update

It's an interesting thing fasting. I've noticed that I eat less now. Smaller meals and a lot less snacks. And without any thought out decision I've noticed I've stopped eating treats, like cakes and slices, even if they are vegan. It's just a general saying no to my indulgences I guess. It feels good to know I am capable of disciplining my stomach, and let's face it, our stomach's speak loudly to us.

After a while it was no big deal to not be eating all this nice Christmassy stuff, but this week it seems that suddenly I'm longing for roast lamb and mince pies and pudding and strussel cake and custard and ice cream.

After weeks of the same old lentils, I've finally got my act together and planned out a menu that involves no lentils at all. I even went to the supermarket, (no supermarket means more lentils) and bought all kinds of things for pizza and felafels and spinach triangles and mushroom croquettes and salads. Can't wait.
