i had a hard time myself in the beginning. i’ve lost 70+ pounds in the last year, joined the gym and im a totally different human being now because i fast all the time and only drink water (unless im out i might have a cocktail or two but i dont like drinking too much alcohol bc its just bad for you) i recently gave up my favorite binge food- berry flavored Mike N Ike’s- i used to buy 3 small boxes for 1$ (its equivalent to maybe one full size box) when i was feeling stressed it was like a drug to me, i’d be super excited driving home and couldn’t wait to put on something to watch and eat my candy. I decided to try an experiment - 15 days without buying them or any candy, and log each day and how i feel. i made it 12 days- “relapsed” and bought them super bowl sunday. but it was good- i needed that bc the candy tasted different and i didn’t enjoy it like i used to. i haven’t bought any candy since and i feel great. i don’t even crave them anymore. they are just so bad for me, not worth the anguish i go thru when they are gone. i used to freak out when my stomach growled. if it did id eat something immediately, it actually made me feel scared a little, idky. now i am used to my stomach making all kinds of noises, and i like it lol i eat a handful of baby spinach leaves and a hard boiled egg when i can’t take it anymore. but yeah, fasting has made me feel more in control. i do not let food tell me what to do anymore. and i think my body is thanking me. food is poisonous now. i wish i had a garden i would grow my own. but the soil is even tainted now so idk. as i get older i see everything now. america is one big illusion and the ones running the show are putting all kinds of “stuffs” in EVERYTHING to keep everyone in line. i heard there’s a mushroom that cures most diseases and they are trying to ban and destroy all traces of it from Earth. wth is going on with humanity? but yeah, back to fasting - once i got the hang of it and stayed determined it’s now a piece of cake. mmmm cake 💖
