Doing well, had an OMAD and started again. A lot of stress in my house the past week with some windows being replaced and workers at my house nonstop for the last several days. I REALLY prefer my alone time!

Now that all the windows are done, this week should be easier.

I cleaned out my pantry and fridge and got rid of all the junk.

Read your journal… HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! :birthday: :birthday: :balloon: :balloon: :champagne: :champagne:

Hey everyone!
Took a few days off of logging in to give myself a break from worrying about fasting… however, I am on the third day of a fast now. My friends bday party is Saturday. I might break tomorrow as it’s my son’s birthday and we are going out to dinner as a family. I know I’ll get an interrogation if I sit there with water while my family eats. So… not sure yet. Anyway, Doing better than I was earlier in the week, I came to accept it is what it is and a crash weeklong fast isn’t going to remove 30 lbs!! I’m happy with less bloating and the mental clarity that fasting brings! I found a wrap dress on Amazon that will work for the party, so squeezing into my current “too-tight” clothing, is a BIG help. I’m a little bigger than I would like to be but I’m gonna own it and enjoy her party.

I did have a dream last night that I ran into my ex (the same one that will be a the party) and he had a date with him. We were both at a play and I was in the row in front of him. Although we saw each other we did not acknowledge each other. Maybe it was a premonition. LOL.

Anyway… going to get up to date on your journals now… Hope everyone his having a great fasting or feeding day today!

I’ll recommend, have some broth or something before you go out to dinner so you’re prepared.

I personally have to be near the restroom when I break. Remember your stomach has been asleep for a few days. :slightly_smiling_face:

My neighbor threw a party plan up for this weekend on Sunday so I’m pushing off my Saturday refeed and fasting an extra day. That’s what it’s all about :grin:.

I can attest to this trick as well. Works especially well with cramps also!

Hey Stacia!
Got through the birthday party last night. My ex and I said brief “hello” and that was it. Actually, his girlfriend (she is 26 and he is 59 LOL) came over and tried talking to my friends and I several times through out the night. She was very sweet but definitely 26. I kept thinking to myself, ‘my son turned 25 yesterday’ :joy: :joy: :joy:
I’m going to eat a couple times today (I feel a little wrecked from the two drinks I had) then start a fast tomorrow (Monday). I’m going for 5 days and then open-ended if I’m feeling good.

Going to check your journal!

So proud of you for going and sounds like you enjoyed yourself plus it’s always nice to see what an ex is up too … :slight_smile:… that’s quite the age gap … what the hec do they talk about, lol? Well maybe that’s the point, not much talking :rofl:… ok … I’ll move on ! Haha. I know I’m secretly always glad those stressful gatherings are over!! Wishing you luck tomorrow, new day for a good healthy fast ! :slight_smile::clinking_glasses:. Ps. Happy birthday to your son !!

Some wisdom does come with age. At the same time there’s a trip up when full clarity isn’t in place.

It’s none of my business what anyone else thinks about me - including exes​:rofl: that’s all I got for you. :joy:

The fasting process brings all this to clarity. That’s all I can tell you.

So starting off Day 1 of a five day… then open-ended fast.
I ate ‘off the rails’ yesterday and my last ten days have been all over the map.
Not surprisingly my weight this morning is 163.9
I think I have quite a bit of water weight as I feel very bloated, we’ll see.

Here we go! On the Fasting train…

I don’t think they “talk” much. He barely talked to her that night… she was on her own with his friends nearly the whole time. I actually felt bad for her. But… that’s not my circus and not my monkeys as they say. :slight_smile:

I’m very glad that party is over, that was the most stressful two weeks I have had in months and months! Now I feel ready to tackle my fasting muscle again. Even MORE motivated after that gathering. I don’t want to skip out on seeing all my friends because I’m uncomfortable in my own skin.

Looking forward to a solid fasting this week.

Hi Kyle!! I so know the feeling… that’s been my life for a few years now… today has been tough (day 1 with no coffee either)… are you still off caffeine? How is your day going? :two_hearts:

Still no caffeine! I think it actually makes the hunger easier (for me) without caffeine on a fast. Today has had some waves of cravings… more so around dinner time but doing ok. How about you?
