Woo! I succeeded in an extended fast. I decided not to eat anything after work. I didn't really feel like cooking, and I let my husband eat my meal instead. At the moment, it's 2:45 AM, and I'm at work, and I'm 43 hours and 55 minutes into a fast. I haven't eaten anything, and I have oly been drinking electrolytes. I don't feel hungry, and I have had steady energy. This is amazing. What's better? The last weight measurement I did at around noon. Wow! Just look at the data:
Starting weight: 401 lbs
Current weight: 364.2 lbs ⇩
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 359 lbs
I lost 2.4 lbs from yesterday to today!
I can't believe this! I broke my stall, and I'm well below 366.6 lbs now. I think I may continue losing, too. I bet I drop even more. I shouldn't get ahead of myself, though. I don't want to get disappointed if I stay at 364.2 lbs for a while. I'm just so excited about this progress!
I started watching YouTube videos with Dr. Jason Fung. His thing is about fasting. He does touch on keto a bit to add the benefit of a low-carb diet to the fasting, but he is a proponent and expert in extended fasting. I like the way he presents his information, so if you have any interest in this, you should check him out. He wrote a book that I haven't read yet. It's called The Obesity Code. And he wrote a second book called The Diabetic Code. Diabetes
is reversible!
I honestly wish I knew all of this when my mother was alive. I think maybe I could have helped her live longer. It's a futile effort thinking about this and dwelling on the past, but I can't help thinking about it. I miss my mom. I also miss my dad. They are both gone. I feel like an orphan sometimes even though I'm an adult, so it feels good to think about the "could've beens." I guess it's a bit therapeutic for me.
What I can do and help and change is my own body and my own weight. I don't want to be obese any more. And I have hope! I have real hope now. This is working! I can do this. I am so excited.
