I really wanted to do a Lenten fast. I really wanted to do water for 46 days and then come out 80 lbs. lighter and go on a vegan diet. That really isn't where I am right now, though. I have decided on Alternate Day Fasting because I feel like it's something I can use forever. I think that any time you restrict yourself and say these foods I absolutely CANNOT have, it makes you want it so much more. When I was trying to Water Fast this time around a.) I didn't make it through not one single day and b.) all of a sudden I went from a vegetarian pretty healthy Diet (lost 13 lbs in about 2 weeks) back to eating pizza and cheeseburgers and milkshakes.
There is no end date, as I plan to make this my lifestyle. I do use appetite suppressors, as I don't think I could go without. Yesterday, I used lingzhi (Japanese 2-day diet) and I honestly had ZERO hunger and ZERO desire to eat until 4:30pm (I woke up around 8. Even when I felt some hunger I still didn't feel a desire to eat. Instead of the pizza I had promised myself at 6pm (20-hour fast, I ended up making tacos with turkey meat, low sodium seasoning, wheat tortillas, and salsa and drinking orange juice. I felt sick after eating. I felt even sicker today when I went to Friendly's and had a chicken sandwich and ate another 2 tacos.
I apologize for the length of this post, this is what my plan looks like: Odd days are fasting days. Fasts start the night before at any time and last at least 20 hours. On fasting days I take 2 lingzhi pills in the morning to suppress my appetite. Even days are eating days. I stop eating solid foods any time before midnight, there are no eating rules. I will be trying to watch my sodium intake, but again I believe for me the idea of restriction makes "bad" food more attractive.
My starting weight I believe is 288. That's probably the number I will use, the last number I saw was 287.6 a few days ago. I didn't have the courage to weigh myself yesterday morning. The only benefit of being so overweight is you can feel a difference in literally one day. My face feels different today.
Anyhow, for anyone who has made it to the end of this insanely long post tomorrow is a fasting day, I will try to get in more water than I usually do. By the way, why do people always say that those first few quick lbs you lose are JUST water weight, like it matters? I mean retaining water makes you heavier and puffier, so releasing it makes you lighter and smaller right? Don't you NEED to lose that water weight? Isn't that a GOOD thing? Oh well...
