Hey guys, I screwed up

I broke my really good water fast about 6 days and 12 hours in (1st attempt) yesterday.

I was hanging out with some friends, and we went to this pizza joint, i’ve been there on day three and day four so i thought i could keep my wits. But when the guys were eating, i mindlessly went up to the counter an got a slice, then I stupidly got a soda after since we were there for a while, and I instantaneously thought ‘screw it i messed up already’. then came back home, was not really hungry and ate ice cream anyway while watching netflix.

I woke up this morning, and I felt lightheadedness coming and going in phases, and when I took a dump. I feel a little out of it and I feel like shit, both physiologically and mentally, in all possible way really.

So I come to you good people of this forum, with my head down, and a little pale; :

->I was wondering if I screwed up my health big time because of this.

-> after a period of self pity, I’m ready to get back into the grind, how do I proceed??

On the bright side, it looks like i lost 12 pounds, and gained back 2 or three. But I’m more so worried about my overall health, and whether I screwed it up big time cause I feel somewhat weak, but not too weak.

Thanks for reading this

Answer

To answer the question whether you have screwed up your health by eating a bit of pizza and ice cream after 6 and a half days of fasting? Of course not, don’t be silly. You are feeling guilty for a momentary lapse but be careful about the mindset you are adopting towards food and fasting. Eating is not bad for you! Dont rush back into it, you’ll feel fine soon.

Answer

6 1/2 days is not screwing up. You did really good, ofcourse it’s better to break a fast with light food but you have to give yourself credit. This mistake will help you in the future to know your triggers.

Answer

Congrats on 6 days! I was only able to make it to 4 until I had to cave in for a slice of pizza. I’m guessing you feel like crap because the first thing you introduced to your body after 6 days was pizza and soda instead of something lighter. You’ll be fine though!
