Fasting is both easy and difficult. No logging, no elaborate shopping (save money!), and all you have to do is.. nothing. Don’t eat.
Stephen King: “Amateurs sit and wait for inspiration, the rest of us just get up and go to work.” – this is the quote I’m using today. My last 5 day fast I didn’t overthink it, I saw others planned to start and I wanted that accountability so jumped right in. It worked.
Strategy: Continue to learn programming to give myself success boosts (I made major strides with FCC yesterday!), set up my sewing machine to get back to work on a quilt and hopefully some simple summer dresses for my toddler, and check in often on here AND in the discord. I struggle with eating when my husband is home all day so this is my big push to show I can do this even with my lovely, but enabling, partner in life home. :D

And the podcast is super interesting generally.
This is a personal/emotional success for me, but I finally unsubscribed to /r/1200isplenty. I got shouted down for daring to call my late night snacking a “binge” and I’m sick of them and their eating disorder mentality. I’m sticking to the fasting subs where people aren’t eating, but so much better off mentally and emotionally.
