Starting over AGAIN 
not being hard on myself but last time was so much easier for some reason. Sticking to it, praying, fasting and going one day at a time 
New 14 days fast - start July 30 - Aug 13

Hanging in there, keeping busy is definitely where it’s at to try to help get through the first few days.

Don’t get down on yourself, just start over again! Any amount of fasting is beneficial, so it’s ok. We’ve got a birthday in our household this weekend, so I might be starting over Monday myself. I hope I don’t, but we’re only human after all.
I’m 42 and have 19 and 21 year old daughters, and I’m pretty sure that my weight issues are indicative of insulin resistance or some other hormonal imbalance. A lot of the time when someone eats a really clean diet and gets enough exercise but still struggles with weight gain, insulin resistance is to blame. So that’s my motivation that drives my desire to complete an extended fast- to help heal some of that dysfunctional mechanism that’s become a problem over the last few years. Of course I want to lose weight, but maybe if you can find another reason besides weight loss to help push you along that might work better. Lord knows as women we all struggle with finding a healthy relationship with our bodies and our weight! Just a friendly suggestion.

Definitely! The struggle is real but so is self control. My why has to be strong. You’re right. Last time started off as wanting to just be healthy. I think because my results were so rapid last time with weight loss I clouded up my vision with just focusing on weight loss. Definitely resetting my mind and just focusing on being healthy will help. Thanks for the support and advice

How’s everyone doing? Day 2. It’s 8:06pm in California so I’m counting this as a complete day! No feel of hunger and just overall feeling pretty good. Hope everyone’s doing well!

Well done @Cassandra_G, keep going, you can do it. The fast is different every time but you will succeed, after the 3rd day, you are good.

Day 3. Feeling good. No complaints. Went to drive in church this morning which was definitely uplifting and I took communion but I’m not going to count it as me “breaking” the fast 
Definitely thankful to be at home doing this fast 
Going to do some laundry, maybe a swim in a couple hours. Nothing too exciting today but that’s a good thing sometimes. Hope everyone is hanging in there

Amen!!! Definitely was struggling tonight as my honey turned the oven on and I could smell warm food. But I am stronger and more “steadfast” than to just give in This is absolutely self control at its finest. So proud of you! How long are you planning to go?

I can appreciate having someone cook nice food is hard. Keep busy to distract your self.
I would love to do 21 days, I am more than halfway now, so taking it easy and telling myself I can do it. The hardest thing is the funny taste in my mouth that doesn’t go away no matter what, it is awful and it starts after a few days of fasting. The lord is our strength.
We can do this

Hello ladies. It’s day 5 for me. Feeling better. We got this. It’s a bit challenging when you’re family is asking you to constantly eat. But I refuse! Lol
