With your mind in the right state of mind…everyday is a fantastic day….sometimes giving in…or what you think is giving in…is the start to the next possibility of better things to come…

@WBH You did NOT give in!!! You made the right call & did the right thing! You have been & continue to be an inspiration to me! 💜

Ty all….once your mind has given in…..then it’s time to refeed…build to the next fasting …just a mind game….

@WBH... We all have to listen to our bodies! I'm VERY proud of you! 👏👏👏 As for me, I only signed up for 5 days to begin with...lol.

@WBH If it were me, I would just tear the crust off the chicken, and enjoy the rest of it. 🤷♀️ ...but sometimes we gotta do what we gotta do...

Great job on this fast! It's probably better to have some food in your system when you go to the doc for bloodwork anyway.

My doctor is the one that suggested longer fasts…after I told him cico was bullshit…..I got his attention….lol

How nice to have a supportive doc!

Doc I have is in good shape….that’s what I like about him..so I know he gets it…but he’s still a doctor…that wants to push the pills instead of allowing food to change some of the problems….I understand his side…most people don’t care about their bodies…and would rather take a pill and sit in front of a tv….not me….only time my tv is on…if I mirror it to iPad when I ride in zwift so I can see the stats while I ride..once done…I turn off tv…have no use for tv …

Smart; you're taking care of yourself - because you know that if you don't no one else really will.

He probably gets some pushback from his colleagues (and the nursing staff) about your fasting. Trust me, all eyes are on your chart. If you do not have a diagnosis relating to an eating disorder, it's because of him ❤ The Good Lord could not have picked a kinder, more loving soul to carry the fasting torch where you live. It sounds like you gently counsel the staff about their diets when they express interest. I hear your complaints about the food and I get it. Also, you are probably the dietician's nightmare 😈 That being said, I bet the kitchen staff would do their best to honor your meal requests i.e. having hard cooked eggs available, larger meat portions, bigger servings of veg if you want them.

To be clear, you are the kind soul 🙂

Ty lady d…..yes I’ve met the dietitian when I first came here….I wasn’t to impressed….guess since I’m healrgier…I look at the health of the staff differently….most here are healthy…but some ..you wish they was on board with health….after all it’s for their benefit in the long term…I can relate to them..they have a job..thet are married..they settle into life..the meals and life stack on…I feel bad for them…as they don’t see it…well…some do see it…but continue to put it off….I wish I knew how to reach the ones that listen when I talk with them…even if it’s one at a time…it would make me so happy to help someone else change their lifestyle into a healthier one…
