Hi guys I’m back 
I am participating in this weeks 7 day fasting challenge.
I have not fasted for months and gained about 26lbs since I was last on here. I got covid in the beginning of April and was sick (bed ridden) for 7 weeks, being a single mom I still needed to provide meals to my kids but was unable to get out of bed so I ordered food regularly during that time. I’m noticing that ordering food like that has triggered my binging and food addiction all over so I am basically starting back at the beginning. Even though I have gained weight and even though I am back to where I was before, I have does this before and I am doing it again. I am one-hundred percent committed to completing at least one week of fasting. I would like to go longer than the one week and will reevaluate at the end of the challenge.

Glad you survived the virus and are feeling better.
Just gave a Zoom PowerPoint on how fasting increases metabolic health and decreases susceptibility to infectious viruses like SARS-CoV-2. It was well received.
