@Shankari_Nagendran heyy friendā¦ Iām on my day 1ā¦ur name sounds like Indian and Iām from India as well letās be in contact ā¦to be brief Iām from Tamil Nadu
Itās all in the mind. Just a moment of weakness and lack of self control. I was cooking for my daughter and it was so tempting that I took a bite, but ended up eating it all. I eat and regret it.
@Rithanya08 yes its nice to be in touch. Iām Malaysian, of the indian ethnicity. I speak tamil and yes Ive been to India a few times but I dont have any family there.
@Pooja_Narayanan, thats ok, I knw right, sometimes it happens just like that, the same thing happened to me last week I just broke my fast after opening the fridge to drink water ā¦ Iām hoping this time, Im more prepared when this sudden strong urge comes to me. All of us just started so your restart is about the same time.
Hi everyone! What a lively group. Going through the comments gives me so much confidence and strengthens my sense of accountability. I nearly broke my fast last night just a few hours short of 24hrs. But I stopped and thought about it carefully. Why am I doin this? Am I really hungry? Why am I fasting? Thinking of my face in the group helped. Iām glad I didnāt give in 
Eyes on the prize!

Hi dear
I have planned my day in a way so that most of the time I will remain busy, in the evening I have done 11km biking, followed by a prayer session of 1 hour, but I am loving itā¦ I am also a big fan of this group

Hi Allā¦Iām about 15 hours in and feeling good! Iām really just trying to stay busy to keep my mind off of food. I finally started my daily journal and came to the conclusion that my main goal will be building will power ā will power to say no to unhealthy food choices and using food to heal me. Iām following Dr. Fungās book so I had water and coffee today so far. Iāll make some tea in a moment.
@Antipodean Wow I envy the energy you have to do those renovations. I hope they turn out great! I donāt have a renovation, but I am happily building a raised garden in my backyard. Iām super excited about it and will use this time to grow some greens and veggies that I will use to heal myself once I start eating again.
@Jessical Iām glad things are going well for you so far! I too was surprised when I hit the scale and was 212 lbs. I say we aim to surprise the scale right back in a four weeks time!!! I have the type of scale with different profilesā¦so it knows itās me when I step on itā¦Iām hoping itāll confuse me for someone else at the end of this fast lol.

Hope everyone is doing well. I am at the 22hr mark now and going strong, it felt difficult at the 6 to 8hr mark, I felt really hungry but kept on. All the fails this past 2 months has made me more determined to do this. Since last year i have done many 24s, a few 48s and 72s, i have completed 7 days and 8 days 11hrs, but havenāt been to get back on board since. I am grieving so that probably has a lot to do with it and also my health challenges is also a huge contributing factor, which is why I donāt do long journals as I just donāt have the energy, I have to pick my battles wisely. I feel confident and stubborn to do this. Letās keep going guys if we fall letās get back and continue. The overall health benefits will be amazing, not just weight loss but all the repairs that will take place inside our bodies. I will check-in later. God bless you all.

Hey everyone!! Just a quick one to say Hi and Good morning. I woke up a few hours ago and feeling great today!!! Had one hunger pang last night and a grumble but after that passed it was fine. I walked into my house last night and my daughter literally handed me a piece of chocolate. I was a little tempted but resisted. Apart from that day 1 was a real success, I feel I am ready this time.
I did a 14 day juice fast in October last year and I have started about 3 or 4 water fasts since then but never able to get past day 3. My juice fast was very emotional, I was so anxious and had so many doubts I did quite a bit of damage in my marriage. He hates dealing with my anxiety and the moment I even mention Iām feeling anxious he gets annoyed so things are tense. I wont see him for a few days due to our work schedules so its better this way. I started to research all the things I was feeling and learnt so much about the emotional side as well as the physical side of fasting.
31 hours in and feeling confident!!!

Day 1 
22 hours in and doing okay! Hunger pangs in the last couple hours but other than that it was fine. Day 1 is never my problem itās day 4-5 that really get me. Going to take it one day at a time and just think about what Iām trying to achieve rather than what I want in the moment. Food will be there and arenāt we all so blessed that that is our truth. We have the privilege to choose to fast! Many donāt have the privilege to eat! It is a gift we are all choosing and Iām so proud of all of you Only 27 more days to go!
