Mentally Preparing For a 7-Day Water Fast

Hello, I’m new to this forum. Does anyone have ideas on how to stop thinking of food as necessary comfort or entertainment that makes life better? I’m 23 lbs. overweight due to thinking this way. I want to train my brain to understand that this week/long fast will help me, and not to think of it as deprivation. I’ve fasted for 2 days before and thought about food constantly. I want to get past that, to where I’m not obsessing about what I wish I was eating. How long does that typically take? And does anyone have tricks/tips/suggestions for how to deal until I get there? Thank you. Tweet
