such a failure (sorry I feel like ranting)
I'm guessing my problem is not an unsual one around here...
starting a fast and not being able to finish it.
Before the fast begins...and even on day one you feel so pumped and excited .. you're like .. "oh yeah, i'm going to fast for 20 days, no problem!!"
but then.. day 3 hits...everything changes.. it's not just a little bit of hunger in your stomach..
it's so INTENSE your whole body feels it and you crave food so much that it almost makes you cry.
( maybe im a little dramatic)
So anyways, i've had fairly good experience with 1 day fasts in the past.
for a whole month I did alternate day fasting, fast 1 day, eat the next.. I lost 10 lbs during that month.
but then afterwoods become depressed again and went on a daily binging spree.
I'm thinking about going back to alternate day fasting, simply because I know it works.. the only thing that turns me off it is the time it takes... I guess 1 month isn't that long but it seems like forever
Also I have wasted a lot of time attemping
Water Fasts and failing, during this time i could have been doing alternate day fasting and losing weight.
But the thing is
A poster here inspired me so much to water fast
Her username is "chava"
Her height and starting weight were very similar to mine and she managed to fast for 35 [?] days I think it was.
My stubborness and persistance wants me to do this and complete it but realisticly I dont know if i can..
A pathetic reason for me wanting to do it is because I know not many people can do it.. and if i could do it.. it would feel AMAZING.
I'm just not sure anymore..
Maybe I will start with alternate day fasting for a few weeks and then attempt full on fasting?
I think about chava's success with her fast and it makes me want to do that so bad
I didn't drink very much water during my fast attempt, maybe that contributed....i dont know..
Anyway, sorry for the bad spelling and the whole...depressing vibe of this post.
The way I see it, these are my options;
a) attempt fast, yet again and risk failure
b) do alternate day fasting instead and get much SLOWER results
I just feel simply terrible.
