@Antipodean we are around the fasting time, 97 hours into my fast just getting Day 5… You are doing so well keep going. I was looking at some of my pics I was way leaner this time around last year, I need to get back to that weight.

@Ranjeeta_Sharma thank you :heart_eyes_cat: hows your fasting going? Keep going ya…

@Arunima great start! You are getting there…

83 hours in and Im not feeling it today. I hate to be gloomy about it but it is what it is. Im in full ketosis now but still not hungry. I really struggled to get out of bed and did not want to write to yall this morning. anyways im glad to see all of you making it through. @Tenax I have spent my whole life putting others in front of my own well being. I completely get it. Helping people is a wonderful gift and we need more people like you in this world. Congrats on four days my brother. I hope everything works out with that lady.

Thank you so much, Salva. She hasn’t called today (yet) as I expected and I gotta be honest, its a relief as I need the break from her to recharge my batteries. And its a crappy cold rainy day. Happy enough to be inside under my electric blanket today. Lol.

@Tenax for sure you need a break. I think your plan to let her know you can only dedicate a few hours to run her errands is perfect. Once it consumes you, you’ll need first aid yourself, so don’t feel bad because you are already doing something noble.

Thank you. 45 hours into my fast and I am doing pretty fine till now. Not hungry at all but a little tired. Wanted to sleep off on my desk in the office. I hope I break the jinx this time.

Wednesday night I sunk into a massive depression. Got stuck in the abyss of doom and couldn’t pull myself out. The emotions we’re raw and I couldn’t deal so I ate, I didn’t beat myself up but I just sat around yesterday staring at the wall wondering what’s the point of life. I’m just lost.

I never feel okay with myself, I don’t like who I am. It’s like when I’m hungry I almost feel scared and need to eat to fill this massive void. I have so much emptiness. What I feel now is to never talk to anyone again but im pushing myself through to write this post because I know I have support and understanding from you guys.

I feel like trying again, scared to fail.

Then maybe I’m not ready to deal with the emotional side? If not now then when? This is holding me back from living my true life.

It’s so hard.

@Jessical so sorry to hear what you are going through must be hard.

Don’t worry about failing; I’m finally getting back on track after trying for zillion times, we don’t have any other options. Fasting is the best remedy; trust me. Every fasted day is a victory.

Take it easy n go slow. You can finish the 28-day challenge thru many short fast, who cares you set the rules, it’s your way of respecting what your body needs.

Take good care and hope you’ll cross this dark phase soon, thank you for sharing. I am sending you healing thoughts.:heart::heart::heart::heart::heart:

@Jessical, please be kind to yourself. Do you have good movies you can watch that will maybe lift your spirit? Try and relax and take a deep breath. We are all here for you. If you do decide to stop its okay, you can always start again. Take it easy.

I broke my fast in the middle of Day 5. I don’t know if it had anything to do with it, but I’m epileptic and I started to feel really weak and wobbly in the shower this morning. It was enough for my man to tell me to eat something…and I didn’t argue.

I’m happy though. Five days is better than I’ve ever done before. Now I’m going to take a few days break, alternate day fast for a week, then try for more than five days a week from now!

Try, try, try again, as they say!

So… anyone still going? Keep at it, if you are!

Oh that’s smart. You have to listen to your body hey!!!

I’m starting again. I have a lot of emotional stuff to sort out.

I’m reading about autophagy - Hoping that it works for my brain cells. If I can get rid of problematic ones, just like the body gets rid of the old cells maybe I can start some new neural pathways and get my thoughts right. ??? Maybe…Makes sense in my head. Anyone else think that?

@Jessical - I’ve read a bit, but I wouldn’t call myself knowledgeable yet! Still so much learning to do. Autophagy is interesting stuff. It looks like we modern humans have been doing it all wrong. That figures!

I’m going to eat this weekend, alternate day fast through the week, then do another five day fast come next Monday.

That’s the “cunning plan” :grin:
