Hello all, just saying hello and that I’m enjoying everyone’s fasting journals. As I said before I just couldn’t seem to get my fasting strength back on since my 9 day and 5 day fast but I’ve managed to keep up with OMAD everyday (which is a miracle for me!)… Yesterday I casually decided to skip a day of eating and make it a 48 hour and eat a OMAD meal today. I am really kinda blown away by slowing down, learning from everyone here and listening to my body of what will work for me instead of beating myself up for not doing a long fast right now. I keep reminding myself this absolutely needs to be a lifestyle and not a “one and done”. As much as I hate being overweight (to the point of shame and embarrassment) I gotta just take this day by day in the right direction 
. The weight is coming off!! I guess there is something to “slow and steady wins the race”. Hugs to you guys !! Let’s keep going forward !!

hey Stacia!!
Great to see you checking in! Brightens my day.
I did an OMAD today and yesterday, now going to fast 2-3 days. I find I can manage these fasts the best. The weight comes off slower… but it DOES come off! I actually dry fasted the last 48hr fast and will probably go for that this time. I don’t find it any more difficult and supposedly your body has to work harder to turn fat into water to use… so it revs-up the metabolism a little more. Not recommending to anyone else, that’s just what I’m experimenting with.
I cleaned out my “too big”, “ugly” and “stretched out” bras today. I only have a couple that will work for me right now… but I have a beautiful stash ready to go when I drop a little more weight (probably 15 lbs). Not that I have anyone that will SEE them 
Still makes me happy… my next goal is wearing my fancy bras! I need to keep pairing down my “big girl” clothing as I go, so I don’t let myself off the hook with sticking to the goals.
Please keep checking in!!

Love the reply Kyle!! Thank you! I did dry fasting a year or so ago for 48 hours and I remember thinking how nice it was to crave water and not food … I soooo know what you mean by ugly stretched out “big girl” clothes … I have this vision of going through ALL my clothes and having every single thing in my closet fit and chucking all the big, ill fitting old ones!! I can’t wait for that day !! I love that you are checking in everyday like me as we keep moving forward!! I like hearing from you! Yaaaa on your fasting days and OMAD! I so would like to blast off 60 days straight of fasting but I’m suprisingly satisfied with just not bingeing and gaining !! Hugs to ya my friend !! 
thank you!!

You are getting to the “Clean out your clothes” stage. I bet by Thanksgiving you will need to overhaul a lot of your wardrobe. The funny thing I found about dry fasting was I didn’t experience waves of hunger on the second day. Once I got through the first 24 hours, I was good. In fact, I probably could have gone longer but decided to do an OMAD. The lack of hunger inspired me to try Dry again… so, I’ll really pay attention to my hunger waves going dry.
I’m glad we are both still here too. I have seen quite a few newbies start off big and then no longer post at all. Hoping the trick will be hanging in there! I’m really dedicated to getting my health and food addictions in check and I know you are too. My youth is going to be gone before I know it and I don’t want to regret any more wasted years!
Hope you are doing well and staying “Fire Free” in Oregon. Looks like it’s pretty tough there right now! Big Hugs!

It’s easier to get your shape back I think the younger you are.
As for your inner youth you won’t lose that.

I noticed people starting off strong too and then disappearing … I did the same thing and then 3 days later I was like screw it, I’m just going to be 100% honest when I cave or change my plans or whatever as don’t we all do that?! I am so glad we’ve stayed !! I read through my entire journal here this morning and it was funny cause I could totally follow my train of thought even though “basically all over the place” 
… Ps. Fires ok where I am but can hardly breathe or see outside due to the smoke. It’s very sad and actually stressful … I thought covid was scary, this is a whole new level. It’s like a bad movie … 
thanks for your support always !!!

Thank you all for your kind words … honestly, we are ok, just watching the news and all the people effected is just heart breaking. I think I can deal with the nasty smoke, it’s just knowing people are suffering so close … ugh. I’m ready to get 2020 over, how about you all? Grrr

2020 is the year I lost weight and kept it off the rest of my life.
And met some great people on this waterfasting forum.
Although I’m not in the fires, one of my brother’s and his wife are. My whole family is terrified for them. I can’t even imagine the feeling you have with you actually being there. We’re all wishing you the best and praying for your safety. I cry almost every day when I see the photos from my brother’s house. You are so strong!

Started this morning … I’m going to be loving to myself that if I end up doing OMAD I’ll still be proud but I do want to lose weight (in a big way!!) and also learn to cope without numbing out with food and 5 days is so super doable !! Thank you for the support and you know I’m sending you massive support right back at ya and positive thoughts for a wonderful 21 days !! Yaaa you got this !!

Just checking in to see how your fast is going today. Hope your day went smoothy!
Hello all, well I’ve been 100% sticking to OMAD but that’s as far as I’ve been getting. Still proud of that though! I am really going to try and go 72 hours at least ! Started at 3 yesterday so 18 hours in ! … I want to push through the food thoughts that talk me into eating my one meal when honestly I havnt even been hungry these past few days. I am someone that just dosnt need that much food. I eat for mental, craving pleasure. I think I could truly have a very healthy lifestyle at eating every two to three days (I read once about body types of Pita, Kapha and vata -sp?)… I knew 100% I was a Kapha that has strong/ steady energy, slow metabolism, that just dosnt need so much food for energy. I don’t know much else about the others except that I remember Pita types are super fast metabolism types with high energy and their body needs more food, more often. So I know I don’t eat so much because I need it … I’m working on all this but OMAD instead as of bingeing all day is definitely better!! Cheers to 72 hours for me! Ha ! Rooting for you all out there!! We can do this, one day at a time (even if two steps forward, one step back!!).
