@Overcomer aww I feel loved thank you so much for reaching out. We really are blessed and I have been in my word a lot more in communion with the Holy Spirit. He is guiding us! This is definitely strengthening us not only physically but mentally and spiritually. Very very proud of you! You’re doing awesome! And definitely an encourager and an inspiration
21 day challenge
Night of Day 12. No complaints…which was a surprise…a reallyy good one.
I honestly was dreading pushing myself today but I didn’t have to. No moments of absolute weakness or bad feelings. Went to drive in worship service tonight and it was wonderful. We took over a radio station so we could listen to them even louder in our cars which was really cool. All glory to my Heavenly Father
Morning of day 13
22lbs gone…still pushing. Woke up well rested and moderate energy. Did my devotions…I was pretty emotional…I cry easily lol but I had like that ugly face cry. It was a good release. Dealing with my ex and praying for him and my son. I just cried out to the Lord to heal the situation and bring truth to the light. Feeling okay about today. Nervous, but okay. I’m supposed to drop my son off with his dad but I am not going to today. He has been so irrational and dangerous the last few pick up and drop offs it’s not good for my son. He almost ran over my boyfriend(we have been together almost 6 years and have a daughter together…can I get a proposal
) last week. I feel like bending and just not dealing with the repercussions of not taking him to our drop off location aka the police department parking lot. But I have to stand up to him and keep my son safe as well. Big step for me. Definitely some healing and spiritual blessings during this fast. Getting stronger in all areas
Very very grateful I have continued this journey. Just venting on here and using this as my personal journal…
Sending prayers and blessings.
Here is hoping the situation with your ex gets better soon. Best to keep away from negativity and toxic people whilst fasting. God bless
Lord, have your way. Ultimately it was jail for breaking the court order or release my son which sounds crazy. Obviously I didn’t choose jail. A lot of emotions but Gods got us. This is part of His plan whatever it may be. His thoughts and ways are higher than mine but He’s always up to something. And He promises me everything works together for the good of those who love Him:heart: And I love Him…Craving sugar sooo bad rn as I am an ultimate emotional eater. But staying strong. Going to have some chamomile tea plain and just soak in the goodness. proud I didn’t just immediately go to my hidden stash of sweets and snacks(it’s in my pantry but I hide treats in the back otherwise if the kids saw them that’s all they would grab out of there)
Funny but true. I’m willing myself to get to at least day 14
Day 14…I’m okay just feeling a little nauseous and bleh. Gonna make it through. Yesterday around 3 I was not doing so good. The nausea started and I just wanted to lay down. Came over to my moms house just hanging out on her couch and relaxing. Really feeling like tomorrow I will start my bone broth and just do that for a week. We will see. Taking it day by day. Lost 23.2 lbs so far which is really some great motivation staying positive
Sooo… I gave in to chicken bone broth.
13 days 16 hours and 15 minutes completed. Still going to fast but im adding the chicken bone broth into my diet. I felt lethargic last night and today and I really have to have clear thinking especially going back to work. Haven’t given up on not “eating” just yet. I will hold out with my bone broth and water for as long as possible
Hey, what does the bone broth help with and what brand do you use? Last time I did a 7 day water fast, I was dying from headaches, vomiting bile and sleeplessness. I was so tired I could not even get out of bed to go to school and getting up was a struggle. Do you guys have any tips for me to help with headaches and vomiting, cramps and sleeplessness?
Were you taking the required supplements for fasting: salt, magnesium and potassium?
Hello @Bora_Thu I bought kettle and fire brand online. 6 pack of chicken, 6 pack of beef. I added a little pink Himalayan salt though it’s my first time Fasting and I wanted to make sure I was not feeding my body junk or additives.it was supposed to be for post fasting and warming my body back up to food… I guess for me the bone broth helped a lot boosting my energy and definitely made me full. I used a spoon too which made me feel like I was really eating
I am still doing my potassium pill in the morning and magnesium at night
So lasts nights experiment with the bone broth turned into 2 cups of bone broth, an avocado, a handful of walnuts and a hard boiled egg I gave in to food but all healthy which is good. I will start my water only fast again maybe in a week or two. I want to get my body acclimated to work first before I try and start again. I am back to work on the 4th so maybe doing a 7 day fast on June 18th. We will see. Still going to be logging my daily food intake on here as much as possible for accountability purposes.
Oh gained .8lbs since yesterday Welp that’s okay. Not really worried about it I know you gain some weight back after you stop water fasting.
Thanks! Can I use chicken broth or is bone broth different?
Yes they are completely different @borathu
