28 day water fast beginning midnight 18th May

[Ranjeeta_Sharma]

Will u start on coming Monday??

[Ranjeeta_Sharma]

Hi dear… Every time I start and every time I fail .
How was your day 1…because for me the hardest part of the fast is day 1

[Shankari_Nagendran]

For me Day 1 usually is ok… Day 3 n Day 4 is the hardest… I think recognising what makes us break the fast will help us prepare inadvance like today i broke my fast all because my neighbour passed riped mangoes and I was like ok im breaking my fast… So now when I reach Day 4 i need to think of a strategy to distract before hand… Im still thinking what else can I do… My crazy hunger usually comes in the evening… Btw I already started my fast, and this my 3rd attempts… I broke my fast both times on Day 4…

[Tenax]

Yes I am in starting Monday!

[Ranjeeta_Sharma]

I will also start on Monday

[Jessical]

Hey!! No way that was not a failure. Just a practise round. What day will you restart? I’m with you on day 3 and 4 it is tough!!! evenings are worst, I find during the day at work a breeze. Can you try writing yourself a letter, write down how you feel about breaking the fast and then when you get to day 3 or 4 next time and feel like caving in read the letter to remind you how you dont want to feel?

[Jessical]

Okay team!! I’m working on mental prep today and putting together our support group to reach out to each other.

Shankari_Nagendran – Would it help to give yourself a break for a few days then restart your fast on the 18th with us? That way we can go through the hard times together? Totally up to you of course!!! I’m planning on 28 days, so will drop you off at day 21 lol.

Overcomer– All ready for the 18th? It’s going to be tough but together we got this!! How many days are you aiming for? Have you started your fast already? Remember we are just a message away if you ever want to talk about anything - You are going through so much at the moment and really feel for you. I hope by doing this it gives your brain a chance to process whats happening.

Tenax –I see you are ready to go! 5 days!! How many days will you then re-feed? Will you start another 5 days?

Antipodean – Giving it a crack – The more people we have to help get over the 4 day slump would be amazing!! It’s a tough day for us all.

Ranjeeta_Sharma – How many days will you plan to do? And starting on the 18th also?

Hope I have not missed anyone. We might get a few more people over the next few days

[Tenax]

Hi Jessica! I plan to go far longer than 5. I just don’t want to say I’ll push for say 20 or 30 because its a long way there and I want feel whatever I achieve is success. Especially because my medical issues may simply make a long fast unachievable. I am not going through 20 days of abdominal distress again. Life’s too short. But saying that I feel I’m much better equipped for the fast this time. Crossing my fingers!

[Ranjeeta_Sharma]

Hi dear
I will certainly start on 18th and aiming for 21 days.
I hope with support from u all… May be this time I can Crack

[Shankari_Nagendran]

Sounds great @Jessical… I’ll break again and restart together wt all of you…

[Antipodean]

@Jessical - I’ll start Monday. I presume you mean midnight on Monday night (ie between Monday and Tuesday)? Just clarifying here, cause I’m sometimes a bit dumb with stuff like that

[Ranjeeta_Sharma]

I think it should be night between Sunday and Monday

[Tenax]

Last eating for me will be no later than Sunday at noonish then I’m on the fast!

[Shankari_Nagendran]

Do you all get notification when someone sends message in this group? I dont.

[Overcomer]

Hi Jessica, I will definitely start on Monday, last meal Sunday evening. I have no idea how long I will last as my health conditions is very debilitating which is why I have not been able to fast as long as I would like. I have m.e/CFS and fibromyalgia. No excuses though I would love to do 28 days, I will try my best. Currently doing Omad, I did 30 hours a few days ago. I am preparing myself…the longest l have done is 8day 11hrs. Thanks for your support.

[L0v3]

Yes, definitely

[Antipodean]

I’ll start Sunday night

Looking forward to seeing how long I can go! Thanks for this great challenge, @Jessical !

[LeonYram]

I’ll join in… I’m on day 3 of an unknown amount of days

[Antipodean]

(channeling Mr Burns, rubbing hands together) @LeonYram Eeeeeexcellent!!!

[Tenax]

2 days of keto strawberry smoothies away from the fast! Countdown to the next adventure begins…
