Day 86 Raw Only and Day One Increasing Lengths of Fasts!
Starting a 3-Day Fast Today! Back in Weekend Fasts Again!
Date: 7/18/2008 11:40:35 PM ( 16 y ) ... viewed 3189 times I am starting an actual 3-Day FAst today, a weekend fast such as I had developed a nice routine of doing but then tragically lost 3 weeks ago, sending myself into a terrible pit of nonmotivation-to-fast.
I posted the following in response to encouragement onteh General Fasting Forum today:
hey, thanks so much for your response! I know I wrote rather lengthily and intensely. I tend to do that. Today I had some in-person support from a fasting-type friend, and so I had an okay day.
I couldn't do the fast of 7 days but have started a fast of 3 days as of 5 am today. So I just have to go to bed and I will be through the first 24 hours. I am really glad to get your post right now as I am in need of fasting support right now, someone encouraging me to stay with it.
I am not fasting for weightloss, since I am as thin as I want to be; rather, I am fasting for healing of my depression, anxiety, and compulsive overeating... but I will take your suggestion and go to the weightloss forum... I feel there is really no separation between fasting for weightloss and fasting for other reasons... I after all am fasting to maintain a weightloss I achieved 12 years ago and have kept off (20-25 pounds lost and kept off)... and fasting always heals the compulsion to eat and overeat, which I, though I resist it, still suffer terribly from.
So, it is great to hear from you.
In my first 24 hours I am feeling sluggish and dizzy. I know this will clear up. I am most afraid of the boredom. I need to go check my phone. I have been in an office all day. i need to plan some sort of activity for tomorrow. I need to see some movies or something. I know I will go to a 12-step meeting, but I need a lot more. I am feeling there is nothing. I wish I could just get the courage to write to someone I am interested in , on line, or something, but I am so tired I can't even think. I just need encouragement to keep fasting the three days. It will place me back in a nice and secure and healthy regime of fasting through each weekend, a routine I had established 2-3 months ago but due to a crisis with school had fallen out of jsut in the past 3 weeks. It was very upsetting to fall out of it and now it is HORRIBLY difficult to get back the spirit and motivation to get back into the weekend fast again. Please write back -- anyone reading this -- with encouragement to keep fasting! Lauray
