Hey guys….just a realization I had yesterday.
I intended to do a 48 hour fast but I ended up eating yesterday. And the world didn’t fall apart! Lol that was huge for me and just wanted to share more of what this experience was like:
I feel like so many of us set high-reaching goals for ourselves and kick ourselves when we ‘veer away’ from the plan so to speak. I’m either fasting regularly and enjoying reasonable re-feeds OR out in the deep end & binging when I fall off.
Finding a middle ground yesterday was so peaceful and we all deserve it! I realized that having an unplanned meal doesn’t need to be “falling off.” I continued to eat lower carb, I went to the gym and put the calories to use, and I was kind to myself… I woke up today feeling rejuvenated and ready to fast again. I also felt really lean overall considering.
Here’s your reminder that if you push your body, your body will retaliate eventually. It will tell you when it wants to fast, when it’s full, when it needs rest. We need to listen better. I’m not trying to act like I’m some changed person from one day…but I hope I won’t feel the need to binge if I am more flexible with my routine.
I know exactly what you mean but I lack discipline and I find I have to go to the extreme to get the results I want. I do expect failures along my journey and when it happens, I acknowledge it and start my fast again, but I do try my best not to let it happen. My body was asking me for cream tarts and donuts some weeks ago so I ain’t listening lol All I’m listening to is Cole 3 times a day.
I binge ate yesterday. My weight today was still 53.9kg. I’m not too thin, but I’m still not fat. I still want to be thinner though and I started water fasting today. I hope I can drop 4kg before my willpower runs out. Lots of people do snake diet for a very long time, but I can’t even make it to 1 week. (I want to do 10 days. Then I’m done with diet. I’m just going to maintain.)
