Yes fasting is stressful on the body and can take a lot out of you. Luckily I work from home and currently just doing ADA (American Disabilities Act) retrofitting of websites for clients. Work that’s not too mentally demanding. Good luck!
Lorena's 15 or 21 days
Thank you. For me the lack of sleeping makes me so weak and tired so the next day I don’t have the same energy to do everything; however, my brain and clarity is good even when I am feeling tired.
After a reefed, I am starting again my fasting
Current weight 55.7kg
DAY 1st again after breaking my fast
DAY 2 after refeeding:
DAY 3:
Weekends are hard but I did it!
As I mentioned before I started a new plan so this my 1st DAY again after breaking my fast
Current weight 54.8kg
Bonjour, Lorena!
We are both from France so I just dropped by to send some motivation your way!
You can do this!
Bonne journée
Heyyyy Welcome!
We can do this!
I am back to reach my goal. I did a pause for 2 days and now I am back
I want to try first a fast for 5 days and then 7 days. Wish me luck!!
It has been so difficult to restart
Maybe you should think about why you can’t seem to restart? Sometimes no matter how badly we want, we just aren’t on the right mindset for it.
Maybe your body needs a break. I went through a period of 4 restarts blaming my lack of willpower then realized I had been pushing my body for 2 1/2 months. I did a 9-day ReFeed and I was able to start another prolonged fast.
I don’t know I was doing great and these 4 days have been a mess, more anxiety, I have been eaten more. Jum I don’t know
The problem is I am feeling bad, disappointed because I was doing great, I had started to see changes in my body but these 4 days I have been eating so much, and my stomach hurts but it seems that I don’t care. I did exceed my daily requirements so for sure I am already storing fat, the fat that I had lost before besides, I haven’t gone out, just in bed, less movement, no exercise. I don’t know what is going on
Just a suggestion. Is there anything you can do to just step away for a day that can make you forget about all this? Get together with friends and go out for a fun night? When I was younger I’d go windsurfing for the day.
Actually yes but I don’t feel comfortable to go out and I don’t know, it’s like I am disappointed because this is not me, this not the person that I used to be. Since I moved to France I have been dealing with the weight (I gained 10 kg), sadness, loneliness, pressure of my studies, culture, language, etc and I am going back for holidays to my country and I don’t want the people who knew me thin see me like this, different, also because some of the happiness that I used to irradiate is not the same, the things that I used to enjoy are not more enjoyable for me. Now, when I eat I feel like I am losing control, cannot control my emotions. I have no idea how I can handle this or repair my relationship with food and emotions.
