Mondays and Fridays are my fasting days. So, today I have had nothing to eat. I do drink lots of water and tea. I drink tea every day and I love it with sugar and milk. Now, however, I have begun using half and half or cream in my tea since my goal is very low carbs. Of course on my fasting days I don't add anything to my tea. A couple of times when I was fasting early on, I felt a bit unwell so I ate a few pinches of salt in case I was running low. I don't know that it made any difference. I feel fine when fasting now.
I don't feel hungry when I am fasting any more. The first few times I felt very hungry in the evening. Now I find that I think of food sometimes but I just need to find something to do to take my mind off it. I thought I would have trouble falling asleep if I hadn't eaten but since I don't feel hungry I fall asleep easily, same as always.
Overall this feels a bit like a miracle to me. I first joined FS in 2012 or 13 I think. Losing weight has been a struggle for years and I never felt satisfied while doing it. Now I feel full after eating a fatty meal and generally only eat 2 meals a day. It seems so unreal and so easy after decades of trying to lose weight with little success to be losing weight easily and feeling as though I have eaten enough.
Well, enough babbling I just wanted to let folks know that I am still here and, surprisingly succeeding.
