Just finished day 12!
The changes I am most excited about:
I had a dream I broke my fast and I woke up scared. It was so real. I’m happy it was just a dream! Almost done with day 7! I have to take some electrolytes because I feel dizzy.
Help!
I’m really nauseated today. I’ve taken electrolytes and have been drinking ginger tea-which usually helps, but it isn’t today. Any suggestions??
-No hunger
-Energy
-I can definitely see the weight loss
-I’m beginning to feel a sense of accomplishment!
-This is by far the most comfortable fast yet!
-My anxiety is practically gone
-More confidence all around
-This fast is helping me through a very emotional time.
I’m just happier in general
I really struggle with staying positive and dreaming about eating junk food— feeling like fasting is punishment instead of remembering it is a privilege and an act of self care. Today has been better than previous days so far though.
Things I’m noticing:
-brain is becoming calmer
-skin is clearer
-eyes are brighter
-clothes are fitting a little better
-gaining confidence
If anyone is looking for some inspiration, I came across this documentary and loved it! “The C Word”. It’s about cancer and not about fasting, but it is really encouraging me to stick to my fast and then eat healthy afterward. I highly recommend!
Hey everyone. Day 7 has come and gone.
Feeling good. I am coasting now. I will be able to do this for sure now that I am at this point!
@Esbyrose I don’t know if this will work for everyone, but it did for me. When I would get that deep empty nauseated feeling I would heat up water the same way I would for tea, but I would just drink the hot water. I don’t know why or if it was just psychosomatic, but it really helped ease my nausea. Worth a try. I hope you find something!
I hope everybody is taking enough electrolytes on this extended fast… it makes fasting life so much easier!
Hey y’all! I broke my fast right after I reached 7 days! I fainted but guess what? Right back at it! I lost 12 pounds and my cycle symptoms caused me to faint. Good thing my mom found me in the living room! Be careful everyone!
Yes be careful indeed! Listen to your body. Hope you’re feeling better today 
I’m restarting my fast but this time I’m incorporating black coffee because I need the pick me up for work right now. I got my mom into fasting with me this round but she’ll be doing intermittent because she’s not used to fasting too much.
Hope the coffee helps! You got this!
Yeah I’ve always done black coffee when doing longer fasts so I should’ve stuck with what worked from the beginning. 
Thank! I’ll try that today. Still very nauseated.
Day 8 CHECK IN!
I know it’s still very early, but a comparison picture of my face, Day 1 and today, Day 8. Not my best picture haha, but tell me I’m delusional, i kinda see a difference!
Yesterday was so rough though.
Making dinner for my husband, i had to leave the table and excuse myself. I was feeling dizzy too.
But today’s another day!
Happy to be on day 8!
Wow!! Your face looks leaner and you are absolutely GLOWING! Still beautiful in both 
Hope everyone is well today! You’re all into your second week-- an amazing inspiration for me in week one. 
I’ve got my electrolytes and supplements set, and feel excited. I know there will inevitably be a struggle to push through. My longest fast was previously 6 days, and at the end I was a bit of a wreck-- my vision was going foggy, and I was super weak and dizzy, though I was taking electrolytes. What are your favorite ways to distract or soothe yourselves when fasting gets painful?
Have a great day!
You are not delusional! Your bone structure is more pronounced and your skin looks great. Those are real results!
