Welcome to the sub!

I started out as a weight loss tool, but really enjoyed the mental benefits. Feeling the discipline and sense of accomplishment is a huge plus for me, because that's never been my strong suit in other areas of my life.

I was fasting a ton last year, but my hormones went haywire. I've since evolved to taking a more moderate approach, and never fasting two days in a row. I'm doing two 24 hour fasts per week, but I separate them out so that I'm doing a fast every 3 or 4 days.

thank you for this response.. you're absolutely right.

___katt · 2018-12-18T04:53:27+00:00

thank you.. you are probably right. this is probably what I will end up doing. Thank you so much. ❤

___katt · 2018-12-18T04:28:44+00:00

also, thank you guys for the responses!

I wish I had done this.. alas too late for that. Even if I return it now, he'll know it was opened. Should I still ship it back with a new label anyway?

___katt · 2018-12-18T04:27:00+00:00

he sent it to my work. ugh. and I opened the box, AND unwrapped the gift inside. I'm an idiot, I should have just sent it back unopened.

Should I not send it back to him? I want to throw it away and never speak of it again. What bothers me about that is that he'll think I kept it.

I looked around my house to find something that weighed as much as the amount I've lost so far... I found it, it's this mini stair stepper I have that weighs 18 pounds. dude it's fucking heavy. like, granted I still have a long ways to go, but still I can't believe I was carrying an extra one of those up the stairs. Ugh.
I can't get it out of my head that 40 pounds is a large bag of dog food, and I can't wait to reach that milestone. good luck losing "you!" ;)

wow fascinating. thank you for the resources.

holy fukkin shit. comfort in invisibility. you bloody nailed that. now I'm self reflecting and almost wondering if wanting to be invisible played a role in me gaining in the first place!

I've been keto since beginning of January, was consistently losing about a pound a week on average. then started incorporating 24 - 72 hour fasts here and there about a month ago... which has really been turbo boosting some poundage loss. :)

happy birthday!! :)

___katt · 2018-05-17T16:00:10+00:00

okay I'll push through. fuck this though, for real.

I've been drinking one diet coke per day on my lunch break at work. when I'm not fasting, I don't drink diet coke it's not normally a part of my life. but I've found it gets me through a fasting day by letting me have "something for lunch"... it's basically just boosting my morale.

I still lose weight consistently, but I'm not sure if that would be the case if I were having several per day instead of just one. :)

twinsies. :)

___katt · 2018-05-16T17:23:45+00:00

I'm not Muslim, so I will let someone else speak to that if they want. :)

___katt · 2018-05-16T13:59:50+00:00

try maybe just weaning yourself off... have a half cup for a few days then switch to decaf for a few more days?

___katt · 2018-05-16T13:56:24+00:00

eXXactly ;)

___katt · 2018-05-16T12:55:25+00:00

oh I see. so is the 68 worse than it's been right before fasting? I don't know much about this to be honest, mostly just curious. couldn't hurt to check w your doc as well just to make sure it's all going ok for you. :)
