I’m halfway through day 3 and feel good about my fast. My clothes are starting to feel better and I am down 10 lbs. Last night I was crashing a bit and feeling weak, but after drinking some water with salt to replenish my electrolytes felt so much better.
Walking around town and smelling all the food was a bit tempting but not enough to get me to break. I just ignored it and kept on walking by. Them bastards!.
I am thankful that I have not had to cook or be around food. Usually that’s one of the hardest parts of fasting. The social aspect of food when being with friends and family. We do not have any activities social/food activities until Sunday and depending how I feel I might skip that if I do not feel strong enough to say no.
I did go to a small social event last night but just stayed away from the food area completely and drank water. Did not feel any temptations at all. I feel proud of myself for that.
I tell myself to be better. Be better than food. It’s all about short term sacrifices of ok things for a longer but better goal. I can make these sacrifices and I will! Thank you all. Stay positive. Stay strong. Love yourself. And be your own best friend. We have been blessed with this amazing and beautiful body. Let’s not take it for granted, but instead nurture it with love so we can be our best self.
