Just hit 57 hours in my first multi day fast.

I never thought I would make it this far! I have been struggling to do OMAD for months. After a solid week of eating way too much food and seeing a really inspiring post about multi day fasting I was determined and excited.

I started at 153lbs Sunday night/Monday morning and today I am at 148lbs. So far the nights have been the hardest part but I have been going to bed earlier just to not have to sit around thinking about food. So that’s a bonus. I have been getting some opposition at home. My roommate and boyfriend are both under the impression this is wildly unhealthy. “You’re putting your body in starvation mode, that’s not good for you.” Or “Your body needs food to sustain it and get it through the day.” I was also chased around the living room with a piece of beef jerky. “It’s just a small piece and it’s lean, it’ll help!!” Luckily I am able to laugh this all off because it’s coming from my extremely unhealthy overweight roommate and my boyfriend who can eat a whole convenience store and still be thin. I was even able to make my boyfriend some really yummy looking/smelling pesto pasta and resist.

So thanks to this sub for being so inspiring and motivating!! I feel really good and focused during the day and I’m almost bummed I will be breaking my fast Friday night for a family dinner. Now that I know I can do this though I definitely plan on incorporating it into my weekly fasting plan.
