He people, so I have been ruminating on the idea of doing a water fast and documenting the experience. I am however worried about how to do that without it being seen as any sort of encouragement for unhealthy eating habits. I thought perhaps I could simply omit any sort of information about weight loss from it as it’s not actually the main point of it.
What do you all think?

Alright hoes i went on a two day binge but im back on my bullshit 

I miss the empty stomach feeling so tomorrow im doing a water fast.

these two outfits have become my biggest motivators to stay on track.

my friends want to have a picnic in the summer just like we did last year. but last year i wanted to drown myself in the lake because I was a fat chunk of meat next to all these tiny people . so this year I have to be tiniest. which shouldn’t be hard. if i get to my goal weight that’ll definitely make me skinniest. so yeehaw

Gum Fast :)

I have this habit where sometimes I will place a stick of gum in my mouth while I’m getting ready for work, then I chew it throughout my entire shift without switching it after it runs out of flavor and without taking it out to eat anything, and then, finally, I throw the gum away after I’ve gotten home and changed out of my uniform.

I find myself very proud of the restraint I display in not consuming any additional calories outside of the 5cal from the initial stick of gum during the 4 to sometimes even 10+ hours I spend at work. Not to mention the fact that I strangely find myself enjoying the taste of water more when I do this, even when there is no flavor left in my gum.

I’ve decided that I am going to attempt using this stategy to fast for longer periods of time. In my first ever attempt at this, I will see if I can fast for at least 48hrs (2 days) with one stick of gum in my mouth. My stretch goal will be 100hrs (a little over 4 days), though that may be difficult to achieve since I’m going to be working on day 3 and so I might need to eat that day in order to have strength for work. Like I said though, 100hrs is a stretch goal; I’ll be satisfied with just the initial 48hrs hours if that’s all I can do since it’s been quite a while since I’ve completed any sort of fast successfully. :)

Update: Unfortunately I only managed to do roughly 39hrs on my gum fast, because, when I got up from my mid-day sleeping session, I had temporarily forgotten about the fact that I was supposed to be fasting and unthinkingly ate a snack I found when I entered my kitchen. ‍♀️ 39hrs is better than nothing, but I’m still kind of disappointed in myself. Hopefully my next attempt at a fast goes better than this one, whenever it is.

Another year, Another fast!

Going on a water fast and I can already feel it going well! All I have to do is find things to hyperfocus on for the next few days so I remain distracted from the idea of eating food. Maybe neurodivergence does have some advantages.

Today is day one and I haven’t weighed myself yet, but it’s not really a problem since I know how much weight I tend to lose during fasts, so I can take my weight later and then just add to it to get my beginning weight.

Currently 25.5hours into a fast with only taking in fluids.

Weighing day tomorrow so absolutely shitting myself can’t lie and my mum made cheese scones and am craving one so badly!!
