Yesterday evening I fell off again. I stayed within my calorie weight loss budget but not my fasting " budget" 
. Anyway… I am fasting and will have completed my first 24 hours again by 7 pm this evening. I’ll go for a walk and read a book to distract myself during my family’s dinner.

I have been journaling in my own personal notebook. I am still try to break into my fast. I just feel like such a fool saying that I will " do it today" and then breaking down and eating OMAD or a snack. But I am going to put myself out there again and say …
." I am fasting as of 7:30 pm today till I reach my goal weight."
I want the cleans and autophagy. I feel like my body needs a reboot. I also want to heal insulin resistance and balance my hormones. I am convinced that this fast is the best thing for me and I am (determined come what may) to hold to my original plan despite the thought distortions that come.
I find that I fall off my fast usually between 3 pm and 5 pm. It usually starts with a bite of peanut butter or a few nuts- because it supposedly
doesn’t break a fast- but it is not what I want right now. I don’t want the snack … and inevitable meal. I want the self discipline and all the benefits that come with it.
So here I go… I have
Supplements
Electrolytes
ACV
Lots of WATER 
Food is out of the question for the present. It will always be around to tempt me but I will keep passing it by till I can enjoy it again at my goal weight.
I have a list of “to does” and enjoyable activities to fill my day with.

I did one keto meal today. Yes. I did let myself down however I did make it past the 24 hr. mark which I have not done in a while now! So here is to another but every more major effort tomorrow!

I returned to fasting again today. I made it over 48 hrs by Saturday evening! I ate two meals and a snack on Sunday and breakfast this morning.
Fasting from one moment to the next till I reach my goal/ healthy weight. Since I am a small person I should be able to be 120 lbs easily. I am 138 lbs right now.
Weight now 138
Goal weight 120

I honestly munched a little this afternoon but it wasn’t much so I’m going to ignore it and keep going. I’m not doing it again. Tomorrow will be another clean fast. I’ll take my supplements and sip on water all day.

It has been a little while since I journaled. I have not given up. I’m just trying to mix things up and see what will help me carry through this time to a complete day one, two,three… I do find that focusing on one day at a time and completing a to do list helps. I also find it helpful to keep in mind that not eating today is fine. I am not starving but healing myself and I want the momentary discomfort because it means I am making progress. I always eat well and very healthy. I have all the nutrients I need. I usually start to waver around 2 pm because I want to relieve the headache or “low feeling.” I also do best not focusing on " not eating" but instead of thinking instead, “I am right now actively reaching goals.” That thought always feels good and cheers up the moment. So far I have not gone a single day without food. I have been doing 24 hr fasts/ OMAD regularly and staying within my calorie budget. The next step is to push it beyond the 24 and persevere till 48…
I must remember however small the bite- one leads to the next and makes me feel hungry every though I may not have felt hungry before.
I must remember, however small the bite:
Meat breaks a fast.
Chocolate breaks a fast.
Nuts/ butter breaks a fast.
Lettuce breaks a fast.
Milk breaks a fast.
My hunger spikes very quickly once I taste something and has almost always been my downfall so I eat more= not fast.
When I feel sad because I can’t eat I need to Read
Walk
Nap
Journal/ read journal
Listen to audiobooks…
I will primarily be focusing on a sewing project that I need to complete soon.
Happy fasting! I will journal again tomorrow.
