I created this journal to be accountable to my commitment to fast for 21 days. I have committed to do this several times but did not keep my commitment. I’m 40lbs heavier then I’ve ever been in my life. Heavier than my pregnancy weight at 9 months two years ago. I am also super scared of diabetes.
Day 1-July 18
-no physical symptoms or hunger today. Feels just like when I’m doing OMAD. Had a few thoughts of wine but no hunger or cravings
Day 2-July 19
-made it another day. Not hungry but a dry mouth and a metallic taste. Had a lot of energy but was a little grumpy in the eve.
We just bought a trailer and get the keys next week . It’s a real drinking and eating trigger so I’m trying to prepare for that ahead of time because I want to make it to 21 days
Day 3- July 20
-so far I feel mean and angry. I hope that I calm down as the day goes on 
-first feelings of physical hunger today but nothing severe
-when food thoughts pop up I quickly push them away because last time I made it to 9 days fasting, I was spending a lot of time with those thoughts and it resulted in an impulsive and prolonged binge.
Evening- my grumpy went away and I made it another fasting day. Little hunger, little cravings
Day 4-July 21.
Afternoon-close call; almost caved. Tried to convince myself to do OMAD but I’m joining the accountability call with @Yasemin tomorrow so told myself to wait until that call
Day 5-July 21
Physically I feel good and I feel a bit of a weight drop but am hungry hungry hungry this morn. I have not weighed myself because mentally I’m really impacted by the number and I know that I can’t handle it. I might weigh myself at the very end.
End of day-today was def my toughest day but I made it! Many thoughts about eating and my mind convincing me to eat some delicious foods that are in the house. I’m not great at self discipline and fighting cravings so I’m proud that I’ve made it through this day. Energy was good though and so was my mood.
Day 6-July 23
-feel blah today. Hungry, moody, lots of food thoughts. I am sticking this through until the end but I think that I’m not a good faster. People talk about energy, clarity and euphoria; I don’t get any of that. I just get cranky, hungry, cravings, tired. I feel motivated anyway because I def see a difference in skin and weight. Days are so slowwwww when you’re fasting but 21 days whips by when you’re eating bad foods 
darn it
Day 7-July 24
Blah! 
That is all for today
Hang in there! Sometimes for some people it takes longer to acclimate.
Smack that little ego devil temptress on your shoulder and tell her who is boss.
