I’m starting a new water fast, hoping to get to 28 days, but am setting an initial 7 day fast target (Monday to Sunday).
I also have a total of 33kg to lose, which I will be tracking in my posts. When a target is met I’ll 
it.
Weight loss so far: 0kg

Perfect!!! Following!! Take it one day at a time 
Best of luck to you!
I’ve ended up doing OMAD for 2 days, light meal each evening
Feeling much more confident and relaxed with the fasting side
I will not be eating anything today, then keep stretching it out.
Lots of water/flavoured water
I have been drinking tea and coffee with a splash of milk at work, because I can’t stand the taste otherwise, but that’s kept to a minimum anyway because too much caffeine triggers my migraines
I mentally feel in a good place today
The weekend wasn’t great, and sunday night, when I put my 1st post up in this journal, I was in a low mood and very pessimistic and struggling overall
It doesn’t help that the “encouragement” to diet from my parents - when i take a step back and really look at the actual language and words they use - is in fact abusive, and I would usually tell others to stand up for themselves, speak up, not let anyone talk to them in that way… but when it’s directed at me… all my advice flies out the window. I guess I’ve built up a tolerance to it, or now see it as the norm…
I don’t know if it’s a part of how I was raised, to not speak back to parents (and I used to be punished as a child/teen when I did, and even now as a 28 year old, I can get shouted down if I open my mouth to counteract what’s being said to me), but it’s just something I now do naturally, just shut up and listen and wait for it to pass.
The days I do OMAD, and more so on fasting days, I get very reflective and look back on my life a lot. I see the positives and really appreciate them, my hard work, my academic and work success, my maturity, etc. But I also focus and pick at the negatives a lot more, rather than brushing them away or burying them deep inside
I wonder if this will become more frequent the longer I fast 
Fasting is a journey. One of self discovery where you will find who you are at this moment in time. When I was younger I took travel sabbaticals lasting from 3 months to a year. Usually found that I had outgrown my old self image and used this process to shed it like a snake shedding its old outer shell. Good luck!
It sounds like you are at a turning point and fasting may help you to achieve it. I hope you can make it all the way around the curve and not get derailed.
I’ve bee sleeping early to avoid the food cravings. I’m not getting hungry, but feel the urge to chew and eat 
but so glad that I am actually not eating, and also that I recognise that it’s all habits and not true hunger! Also the bonus of good sleep!!! I’ve been struggling with poor sleep for ages, last 2 nights have been really good 
I am super ecstatic
I have lost some weight, my clothes feel looser
I’m even managing to go the gym most days! And do cardio! 1 hour of fast cycling +/- 30 minutes on the cross-trainer, with few exercises using light weights
Working up a proper sweat each time, but not getting light headed or anything
I’m in ketosis (according to a urine dip), thankfully not struggling with keto breath or sweat yet, and hopefully won’t 
I start work at 8am, get sluggish at about 10-11am, but power through. Have a cup of tea with a drop of milk in it and sweetener. Then power through the rest of my day.
I’m walking a lot instead of taking the bus, because I actually have the energy! Even after going to the gym 
you have no idea how that makes me feel…sometimes i still take the bus out of habit (literally get a lazy urge to hop on the bus if it’s there, then regret it lol), or because of horrible weather, but generally managing to walk to and from work and the gym no problemo
I feep happy!
Although there have been times when I’ve been a proper grumpy person, especially when I have a lot of work, or I have to sit through a 45-60 minute telephone conversation with mum and/or dad listening to diet and exercise advice and criticism.
But anyway, the overall outcome is: I’m great so far!
Sounds like you are doing well. I can’t wait until the weather warms up enough to walk. It snowed again last night and the wind is howling.
So I’ve been having 2 days of OMAD Keto food - I’ve been visiting my parents and my mum is loving her keto diet and trying to convince me to join her 
And from today 1st March, I’ve joined the March Challenge 
Next 12 days I’m working 8-5 and will try to go to the gym as many days as I can
I will keep this journal updated
