New water fast

Last Sunday I broke my water fast on the 11th day, and had trouble getting back on the fast after my refeed (that pretty much turned into a binge :pensive:)…
New opportunity to make my life better tomorrow, I’ve been beating myself up enough now!
It’s all a practice and a journey, with all its ups and downs!
Hope all of you are doing well! :heart:

I’m also worried about binging when I end mine (which is what got me to this point in the first place). I’m not like most health gurus who are cutting sugar completely out. When I’m not fasting I plan on having carrots, potatoes, corn and the occasional sweet treat. For a binge eater I think I first need to learn to live with food. Telling myself I can never have XYZ anymore always leads to a binge. I wish you all the best on your fasting journey! :grinning:

That’s a really good point! I’m glad you’ve found your own way to make it work and feel less overwhelmed and triggered!
Thank you! Wish you all the best! :two_hearts:

I broke mine the last Tuesday but it has been a terrible week in terms of everything, the weight that I have lost is back again, my willpower is not anymore. I have tried to restart and nothing. I don’t know what is going on :disappointed:
Good luck, you can do it :blush::muscle:

I understand what you mean! I wish I had the magic answer for both of us, but we’ll support each other through this! Even if we fail a couple of more times, or succeed!
Wish you the best!

Maybe look into intermittent fasting. It’s a way you can have your cake and eat it too!

Thank you so much. I have also tried Omad these days and nothing but I am going to restart tomorrow.
Wish you the best!

Day one got by quite easily. I stayed distracted studying all day. I don’t feel as good today, onto day 2, since I had a hard time getting any sleep during the night. Maybe I should try and move around more, besides just studying, to make myself sleep better tonight! Aaaand more minerals :pray:

Day two yesterday went by fine, no hunger feelings throughout the day. This is the third day and yesterday my doctor called with an appointment for later today to have a small surgery to remove a little benign tumour from my scalp.
And if I know myself from earlier experiences with knives and needles I’m scared of getting lightheaded and faint from that, so I am kind of prepared for breaking the fast with some fruit to raise the blood sugar level in case of that happening. I feel okay with that if it happens. I need to get it done and I’d rather do it as painless as possible, and restart strong tomorrow!
