DAY 1
My last successful fast was mid-December so I was a little bit worried whether I would make it through the first day today - but I did. I’m now at 29 hours and feel good.
I stayed hydrated and busy.
I did feel some cravings but they do pass. I struggle a lot with forgetting that cravings don’t get worse with time but that they subside. Today I was proud of distracting myself when I could feel hunger or cravings and the feeling would pass.
I’m starting out with 71.7kg which is too much. However, I will not weigh myself every day and I will focus on staying positive. I think that I have been focusing a little bit too much on the numbers on the scale lately. I have seen the success of my last fast and trust it will work again.
Next goal: Repeat today! I did good!
Keep it up. You’re doing good.
DAY 2
I’m at 48 hours but struggling. This is hard. I am craving sugar very badly - mentally and physically…
Say NO!!!, you have come this far, keep going…
DAY 2
Today was so so so hard. I thought about abstaining for food all day even though I tried to distract myself. I also slept very terribly.
I did not give in but it did not feel good.
I’m now at 51 hours and I am proud of that and I usually feel better in the morning.
What helped me today?
Hang in there. The first 3 days are always the toughest. No matter how many prolonged fasts I’ve done, those 3 days are always a test.
DAY 3
I made it to 70 hours.
Why did I break my fast?
What do I need to do?
I’m still in this!
DAY 4
I completed another 24 hour fast! That didn’t even feel like 24 hours. Now it’s time again to push beyond 24 hours. The plan is to do 3 days again.
I am busy the next days so it will get easier. I find it so hard to sit at home with nothing to do but fight off thoughts about food.
