Water Fast - Blog Posts

72 hour fast starting today, I’ve decided.

HUNGER

I visited a friend in the hospital that was diagnosed with ana... not fair. Why can't that be me? To be so frail, thin, pale, tired, hungry. I was starting to get better eating habits because I was feeling better, but to know she went 17 days with no food makes me envy her. I love her, I hope she gets better, I really do, but I wish I was sicker than her. I want to be on that hospital bed. I want to be clean of all food, only water. I decided to go on a streak, see how long I can last before I'm forced to go to the hospital. I hope I last longer than she did. Today completes the first day of my water fast, it was hard. The first 3 days are the hardest. If I can just make it through these three days then everything will go smoothly. It was hard, but I managed. Every time I got hungry I'd drink water. My hunger pains weren't too bad. Since I'm on my period I've convinced myself it was cramps and not hunger pains. I'm going to visit her again tomorrow... wish me luck, and wish her a speedy recovery!!

I am currently 24 hours into my hopefully 32+hr fast and I'm feeling alright about it all. I really want to keep a fast up for the whole week, but I have huge exams coming up so I feel a little guilty for wanting to eat even though I know it will jeep me focus and study...

Any thoughts?

Below is the fit i tried to sport today, only if I were skinner though.

I’m officially going back to my college dorm this Saturday so you know what that means, fasting without my family pressuring me to eat every chance they get!

ngl I really was glad that I could visit my family for a while school way getting to be too much for me during finals so this was a great time to reset.

update found out that it wasn’t just breaking my fast that fucked up my stomach, but also the norovirus so that was a great experience.

I’m doing better now, however my sister accidentally caught it from me so now she’s sick. I took a little bit of a break from posting so that I could recover as all I could do was drink water, sleep, drink more water, vomit, drink even more water then sleep for 10 hours and sleep be exhausted when I get up.

I will say it was nice to sleep so much as I have reallllly bad insomnia and rarely get to sleep more than 2-3 hours. Most of the time I might be able to get 3 hours of sleep but it’s with periods of wakefulness. I feel like every 10 minutes of sleep I get I can’t sleep for 20-30 minutes, I’ve been off of melatonin for a while now just to give my body a break from it as in high school I was taking waay more then the recommended amount for someone of my height and weight.

Yall I broke my fast/ diet restriction and I regret it soo much. Not just because of my weight loss goals, but mainly because everything that I had( which wasn’t much) fucked with my stomach so badly

ok so, my second semester of college starts soon, and im already starting it off in a bad mental state. I got an email saying that im being placed on academic probation :/

im thinking about posting about how my days go a little bit more and what it's like trying to get off of that probation.

I feel bad for not being as active as I normally am, but I contracted the norovirus from a boy that I babysit and it's been hell.

i'm not complaining but I could do without the feeling like shit every second of my days.

so I’ve been making my sister a crochet granny square blanket and it’s 2 ish days before Christmas. It’s sloooowly coming together but I’m hoping to finish it tomorrow

I’ll add another post about this if I end up finishing it, but it’s looking promising! Oh yea, my cat snickers has been keeping me company while I do this lol

I love going on late night drives with my roommate :3

It gives me a chance to think

little update

I started a water fast for the week to drop a few pounds right, so i was only drinking water, taking my daily vitamins, and having a few strawberries. But that couldn't keep up with my body and what i was doing, so while i was at a carnival with my boyfriend and some of our friends, i ended up fainting at one point then getting insanely nauseous. Which honestly in the long run helped me get out of eating at the carnival because theres really no way of seeing how many calories are in carnival food, so win lose i guess. i feel bad because i worried my boyfriend over nothing, all he asked of me was that i took a little break for the rest if the day from my fast to eat some fruit and sip on a juice box. At the most i think that was about 25 extra calories and seeing as I've barely been hitting my calorie restriction (which is 500) and at the time i was only at 85, i think it was ok to take a break for the moment. Ill be back at it tomorrow though.
