Thank you for sharing! I’ve been wondering if a longer fast is beneficial to women (read conflicting info). You are proof that the weight loss can be significantly worth the effort. …. Ditto on the “never would have thought I could fast”. I’ve found that I can fast BECAUSE I love food! On a diet, you never really get to feel full or eat those forbidden foods. Fasting, I can tell myself to just be patient and I’ll eat what I want. I usually end up choosing low carb but at least I have the option not to.
Congratulations! This is seriously the motivating. I’m 48 hours into a 2 week fast at 130 and I really wasn’t sure what kind of results I could expect, it’s so nice to see people with similar stats making huge gains with their fasts! With your kind of resilience I have no doubt you’ll hit your goal!
I am so happy to hear you say this! I am on Day 3 of a 7 day fast and it has hit me like a ton of bricks. I am going to push through, but like you I am someone who loves food and has a history of always eating, so if I can pull this off, it will be one of my greatest accomplishments! 😊 Congrats on your awesome progress!
