Fasting is a pain. So, I’m told, is sobriety for an alcoholic. The same goes for anyone trying to kick any chemical addiction. Going through the pain of it is terrible, awful, and not worth it, at all…except for the fact that it is. Kicking your addiction is the most profound thing you can do with your life. If you successfully become “sober” from food, you could sit in a swing on your porch for the rest of your life and you would have accomplished all you need do. The irony is, if you do kick your food addiction to the curb, the last thing you will want to do is veg on the porch swing for the rest of your life. And, when you do sit on the porch contemplating “Life, The Universe, And Everything”, you will probably have the cure for cancer and MUZAK (think “elevator music”) come to you. Everything you are, everything you want to be, your very existence, depends on the choices you will make in the coming month.
If you think I’m being hyperbolic, give it the month and then tell me if I was exaggerating the issue.
Fasting is difficult, duh

Andrew, I havnt checked in for a few days and I had the thought yesterday that the most important thing I can do is let go of this food addiction and if that’s all I did everyday I would feel like I accomplished the biggest hurdle of my life !! I thought I’m no good to anyone without this major “thing” conquered… and then guess what? I check in and the first post I read is yours. Just wow. I needed this. Thank you. Now to do it. 
. I’ve accomplished OMAD everyday for awhile but the obsession to binge once a day is still there … 
I’m having as difficult a time as you. I have now doubled down in my efforts.
