Fasting / 5:2 diet

Is it normal after a week to really look forward to next fast day?

Did first fast days last Tues and Thurs - managed around 600 cals so need to take it down a bit. But since Fri have really looked forward to next one. Is this normal? Can't do tomorrow as going to a friend's for lunch but will do Tues.

I look forward to my Tuesday fast (my usual days are Tuesday and Thursday but after the weekend I often feel like I need a fast day!) I have found Thursdays more difficult than Tuesdays so far.

I'm looking forward to my fast days too! - (Tuesdays and Thursdays here as well)

Only done one week so far but felt very energised by the fasts and yes, I never thought I'd say I was looking forward to days of barely any food, but I am! As well as the physiological effects (energy and about 3lbs lost) I found the fast days very empowering! I am only one week in though, ask me again in 6 weeks time!

I do not fast in the holidays
I look forward to fasting on the first Monday of each term

I look forward to my first fast of the week, but am more ambivalent about the second one!
