Here I am starting at 266 pounds. I have been in ketosis for weeks and eating OMAD. I am super nervous, so much so that I think I am making myself nauseous. I am excited to prove to myself that this can be done. I will go beyond 7 days if I am feeling good

Carmen, wow! The fact that you’ve already committed to this is a HUGE step, and if you’ve been doing OMAD and keto for weeks now, you are ready! You can do it! How are you doing so far?
When we started the fast, I broke mine the first night. Did great all day, then that night I talked myself out of it. I have been where I can get to day 3 or 4 then I just convince myself to stop. Right after the hardest part is out of the way, and honestly it’s not because I’m starving or otherwise… I just convince myself I’ve done enough for the moment and redo my fasting intent or otherwise.
Someone called me out yesterday and told me to think about why I keep choosing to self sabotage and why I won’t let myself be successful. It hit home. VERY HARD. It made me realize that I have to decide I want more, and if I fall, then I get right back up and continue to my goal.
So while I’m a day behind (depending on how you want to count it) if I were to fall again, I would just immediately pick myself up and keep going. Tell myself I have a goal and I’m going to reach it. Counting wouldn’t start over (little different when it was day 1) I would just continue to my goal. While I don’t know you, I would encourage you to do the same.
It sounds like you have the strength and motivation to see this thing through, and you should be proud of your decision to start on this path.
