Hello, CureZone :)

I've done a 6 days long water fast for the first time a few months ago, and before that a two weeks long juice fast. I felt amazing after the initial shock phase passed (referring to the water fast from now on) and I was sad to interrupt it, but circumstances forced my hand.

Now I'd really like to fast again, but fear of judgement is holding me back... I don't want to tell anyone what I'm doing (excl. internet) but I live in a small house that I share with other students and I felt negative vibes from them last time I fasted, and one of those people told me out front how wrong what I was doing was, how dangerous, ... I don't blame them for speaking their mind because they care and I know they're just being concerned, but I just feel like I can't embark on this kind of journey again when I know for certain that I'll face criticism on my choices. I can't even hide it, as they'll see the empty zone in the fridge, etc...

At the same time, I want to get my eating and weight under control once and for all; I've reached the weight of 176 lbs (which is a lot considering my ideal weight should be around 132) which I only ever reached during a bad phase of my life and honestly, this scares me. I've started exercising again around two weeks ago but my mind keeps craving the wrong kinds of food - and I am not able to offer much resistence. After my last fast I felt this wonderful feeling of "blank state" and I want to get there again... I find it so much easier not to eat anything at all, rather than regulating what I'm eating - simply because right now I'm not able to. I hope to pick up a keto diet (I'm not a stranger to that) though once I'm done fasting and my weight is a more manageable level...

All this to say: how do you deal with the combination "water fasting + people/society/friends/family"?
