I have a headache
LOL. Iāve been having a bit of the same conversation with myself the last few days. Reminding myself I committed to minimum 5 days to myself so Iāll do that. (Just entering day 4) & the benefits of autophagy. I doubt I need another big āsystem flushā given how recent my last fast was.

This time of night at home, everythingās quiet. Itās the hardest.
@Jessical - I know itās hard, but STICK WITH IT!! You can do it!
I remember what @Compdude and others have said, people with a lot more experience than me. It gets easier. This 3-4 day hump is the worst bit. We can get over it.
Itās Wednesday night here in Kiwiland (aka new Zealand) and Iām going to bed early, as itāll be easier I think. But I am not quitting. Not this time. Not now.
Youāre not going to quit either, are you!

@Jessicalā¦ Remember all the preparation you put into thisā¦ The instant gratification that food gives is no match to the long term benefits you are going to getā¦ How are you doing? Did you break your fast? If yes, dont feel bad just restartā¦ We are all still in the starting line and the biggest hurdle is the Day 3 - 5ā¦

I feel that. I went for a walk yesterday and left the house feeling strong. I was able to enjoy the walk until I made it back to my front door. The second I stepped into the house I felt as if I had taken the worlds largest muscle relaxer. I was immediately down for the rest of the day. I never really got hungry but I was to tired to move. I tried to read and my eyes couldnāt stay focused for more than 5 seconds. I had to turn the TV on. It was a bummer but what ever.

@Mizqtpye thank you for the kind words. It is difficult indeed which makes dealing with the cravings a little easier. keyword: LITTLE. When times get tuff on this fast I visualize my father during chemo. He couldnāt eat. His hair fell out. He was tired all the time. I visualize the pain my family had to endure watching him go through that treatment. It makes all the excuses I have to break the fast seem stupid and pointless.
Today I finally started to go into ketosis. My tongue is all white and Iām still pretty lethargic. Im going to take it easy again. Even writing this post is taking its toll. But hunger is not a problem. Im drinking plenty of water and tea.
Keep up all the good work yall. Remember its a marathon. You donāt have to work out during the fast. At least not in the beginning. Let your body become fat adapted and then start increasing your activity. Iāve read to give it a week if you didnāt start the fast already in ketosis. For my first seven days, I have about a 1hour restorative yoga practice every morning. Itās great because you get to stretch and rest at the same time. Then I write in my journal about whatever was running through my head during my practice. After that, I get on the web and talk to yall. Now I will drink some warm water and take a hot ass shower.
60 hours in and feeling good.

@Jessical try to remember that the happiness you will get from eating is only temporary. Then you will be so disappointed that you broke your fast and have to start over again. This is the addiction to numbing life with food that we all suffer from and can relate to. Just keep in mind the truth and keep going!!! Have faith that the result is worth so much more than the short term enjoyment of breaking the fast. Youve got this!!!

Also one of the books I read about fasting has an inspirational quote for each of the first 11 days. I will start sharing the quote every morning.
Day 3:
Just for today, I am going to surrender to the process and give my body the time that it needs to heal and cleanse. I thank (the god of your understanding) that I have the knowledge and strength I need to make it through these 24 hours. I am at peace and in full expectation of greater and greater blessings.
I print these out and lay them next to my bed before I go to sleep. That way when I wake up its the first thing I see. Then I tape it to my TV so that its in my face all day.
