Jaz water fasting journal May 2020

What was your BGL reading, if you don’t mind sharing.

I worked with an endocrinologist in reversing my T2 diabetes and I completed a 40-day water fast. Before tackling my 40-day, I asked him what my BGL floor was. After asking me questions regarding my medications he told me as long as it stayed above 40 I was fine.

It was at 59. usually im between 80-90 while fasting. I was shaky and sweaty and got anxious so I ended the fast. Ive never been that low

59 is fine. I think the shakiness and sweatiness is from the anxiety. Before working with the endocrinologist I thought my BGL floor was 60 so I experienced the same symptoms. That perceived 60 BGL floor kept me from going beyond 7-days until I recruited the endo.

If you private message me your meds, I can run it by the endocrinologist in my weekly status report that I submit to him this Monday.

Starting another day 1. No bullshit. Made it to 4 days last week and I miss that no bloat feeling. My goal right now is to make it past 4 days and beyond. Mother nature is here 3 days late with a vengeance. I have my yearly labs in 3 days and im hoping for some improvements in glucose and cholesterol. Weird nsv but I can now feel the bones around my ankles. And my nail tech noticed that my feet arent as dark anymore from my diabetes. counting every small victory. day by day.

Im the worst decision maker lol. Joined in on the 7 day challenge. cant keep a good girl down. Kids are gone for the weekend so no cooking for me which will mske things a whole lot easier :grin:

Ugh. Keep self sabotaging and giving up on myself. My self worth takes a dive anytime I feel stressed and overwhelmed and then my food cravings increase and i break my fast. I feel like im in an unending vicious cycle. Sigh. Starting day 1 today through the end of july and extend depending on how i feel

Hi Jaz, we’ve all been there with the self-sabotage. The good thing is you are recognizing a cycle and where you get weak and vulnerable. Therefore you can better prepare for the next time you might be tempted to stop fasting.

Take a look at this site I have been recommending to everybody as it’s helping me. Never Binge Again :muscle:

Back for another day 1 and up 10lbs from 2 weeks ago. Definitely headed in the wrong direction. I was 3lbs away from being under 200 then my cravings went crazy. Im trying not to be too hard on myself but I know still this cant be good for me. I’ve just let myself down eating and drinking all the junk and crap I know I will regret later. My body needs a reset before I fall completely down the rabbit hole. I 'm bloated uncomfortable stressed and angry st myself for failing yet again. Im trying to get back over the fasting hump to where my body felt great. My focus was sharp.
