Day 3 - Love myself

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!. :rofl:

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.

Almost done with day 3… today has been brutal. Energy levels super low. Blessed I can take it easy, so I should be ok.

Just continue to tell myself eating satisfies thyself at the moment. Being healthy and looking fit and strong is with me 24/7. Stay strong Joe. :heart::100:

@Yasemin thank you for your kind words. They mean alot. :100::heart::+1:t3:

I think to myself that too often we take our bodies for granted. We eat crappy food that we regret eating while knowing it’s crappy and not good for us. But enough is enough. Need to choose thyself over those temptations. We are better and deserve better.

I’m thankful for the support this group provides. Everyone sharing their stories and providing encouragement. Thank you​:heart::100:

Today I completed day 3. I must say it was pretty difficult. Difficult in the sense that I had no energy whatsoever. Having said that I did not feel hungry or the need to eat. Just slowed things down, took it easy on myself and made it through the day.

Today I choose me. I will love myself like no other. I’ll be my bff that’ll never let me down. Strong, fit, healthy and wiser. Good night! Good luck everyone!:heart::+1:t3:
