This is a reply to # 1,308,582I think alot of people that fast have that problem at first. You never realize how much you spend eating until you give it up for a fast.
I always find a bunch of stuff to do. These examples might help you find something yourself to keep you busy and your mind off food.
I read (alot) color in a coloring book (very relaxing)
play video games
take long walks
play with my pets
watch movies
visit my friends (as long as it isn't when they might be eating)
Go to the library
I pick up one of my many hobbies such as crocheting, knitting, sewing, drawing, writing poetry, working on my novel
I clean out my trailer, separing things I don't need and things I can give away
I try to entertain all the small things I seem I never had time for before like reseaching a new idea for an invention
This chat thread talked about what others do when they are fasting. It might help you.

This is a reply to # 1,308,654Hello clawsonc,
From reading your previous posts I see that you are fasting to lose weight. Today is my first day so I'm not bored yet but I'm pretty hungry lol.
Before I started my fast I got in the right frame of mind to give up the food, I kept telling myself that when Monday came I would not be eating anymore until I felt it was the right time to eat. I'm also fasting for weight loss, I'm planning on doing several short fasts and eating properly between fasts. I believe that anything we do in life can be accomplished if we set our minds to it. It really is mind over matter.
It might also help if you looked at Mouseclicks story and his before and after pictures, they're amazing!

Whenever you feel like quitting take a look at him and tell yourself you can accomplish the same thing. My outlook is, food is always going to be there and when I've reached my goal weight I will be able to enjoy it again. One of the things I will accomplish with my fasting is to change my eating habits. If we fast to lose weight and go right back to the same old way of eating, in my case, not very good at all then we will end up right back where we started.
I wish you every success with you're fasting, just remember to listen to you're body and keep you're eyes on the prize, a normal weight for yourself and a healthy lifestyle.

This is a reply to # 1,308,703He he, thanks Willow!
Yes if you can do a fast for 7-10 days or more and not have any emotional issues with food, I think you can lose weight very easily by fasting. Once you get past the hunger stage it is fine. Also you may get some silly cravings, but you will know it's not hunger. I did for coffee and curry, that was probably about 10 days into my first fast. Go back and look at my posts between November 14 2007 and for 27 days thereafter to find out when. I think it was the first fast.
Be prepared also for the aching legs, back, thighs. Ohhhh, how about the smoking? Gonna try and kill two birds with one stone?
You might also want to get some Ketostix - if you like pretty colours, especially purple

Anyway, I hope you DO get past the hunger stage - after that it should be plain sailing

Hey Steve,
I don't like to say it but I did smoke 8 cigarettes today but that is about 25 less than I would have smoked in a day. I knew it was going to be hard to quit and I know I should have quit when I started the fast so anybody that is new to the forum let me just say don't be like me, you shouldn't smoke when fasting. I'm going to taper off tomorrow and plan to be done with it by Thursday!
I prepared my mind for the fast but didn't prepare to give up the smoking, I should have known it wouldn't be easy but I'll get there.
Thanks for telling me about the Ketone sticks, I can get those at the pharmacy here I'm sure it will help to know I'm burning fat. :-) I can't wait until my stomach stops growling, I'm tired of listening to it.

This is a reply to # 1,309,103I'll be interested to see how you feel in relation to smoking. If the tendency for that goes down maybe a slightly longer fast is better, you will know how you feel about it soon I guess.
Don't forget acupuncture, that sure worked for me. If you do stop smoking, you may find a shift in your emotions, slightly less relaxed but more "on the ball". I sure did.- Re: day 1! Willowley

This is a reply to # 1,309,143Hi Steve,
I wouldn't be at all opposed to trying acupuncture but I thought it would be easier for me to quit while I'm fasting. I know I'm putting poison in my body every time I smoke so I will be happy when I finally put them down.
I just don't want to take out my bitchiness on people I come into contact with, I'm already feeling a little ready to bite someone's head off if you know what I mean, LOL.
It will be a welcome feeling to feel more "on the ball" I'm ready!

This is a reply to # 1,309,103Hi Willow,
as a fast progresses it is a common experience to find that the "taste" & "desire" for cigarettes (and tobacco generally) becomes more and more repugnant as the body cleanses itself. Is this your own experience to date? I forget which day you are on at the moment.
These links might prove to be useful reading for you...............

This is a reply to # 1,309,150Hi Chris,
Thank you for those links, I'll read them in a little while, maybe they'll help me.
This is only day 2 for me so to be quite honest I don't know if it's the cigarettes that are making me nauseous or the fact that I'm fasting. It's probably the fasting because it is present even when I don't smoke, it's not bad at all just uncomfortable.
I can tell you that the pleasure I got from smoking isn't the same as when I was eating, you know like after a meal, but then I'm not eating so that might be it. I'm finding that I'm not really craving the cigarettes its more of a mind thing, a habit is what it is.
I am a big promoter of positive thinking and apply that to every area of my life, but I'm not perfect and I am finding a bit of a stumbling block with the smoking. I was more prepared to give up food than I was the cigarettes. I have read that addiction to tobacco is the hardest addiction to break even more so than heroine, I don't know if thats true because I have never done any kind of drugs. I thought it would be easier to quit while I was fasting so its good to know that the desire and taste for them decreases with fasting. I've only had 2 today so far and its 1:00pm here so thats better than I did yesterday.
I'll keep posting my progress with the smoking and fasting.
Willow
