Still fasting. Beginning day 10. I'm going to go no longer than 14 days this time. I'm down 10 lbs in 10 days, but there will be a rebound. My task this time is to manage the rebound. Last time I did an extended fast, I ended it just before Christmas and the rebound was big. I'm hoping to moderate it this time, so that I can stay in Onederland. I feel great, long fasts are getting easier, and I miss food! Beautiful moonset again today, but it's a little later, so with a brighter sky, so the moon is harder to see.

I can only go 1 day without losing my mind. I have no idea how you can do it. Congrats.

The trick is Brigit, that after about 2 days you stop being hungry. This is the usual effect, your body just stops producing Grehlin, the hunger hormone. And if you take (sugar free) electrolytes with plenty of fluids, it helps with the initial hunger. Belly full of water, tea, coffee, stevia sweetened soda or sparkling water. Anyway it gets easier. I was just now hungry on my walk and I came home to drink some electrolyte drink and now I'm fine. Your body switches over to burning your own fat, so you're never really without fuel.

This is why I do better on longer fasting, because on daily fasts, I'm more hungry.

I'd probably do better if I gave up eating. I lose weight and save money. 😂

Well there is that: no shopping, no spending, no cooking, no cleaning, no planning. It's kind of boring, but very thrifty on time and money. More time and money for other things. My freezer stays full. I have done a little cooking for my husband. He's been a good sport about eating alone.

So beautiful! I love the photo so much! Fasting takes a lot of commitment. I fast for a day pretty frequently, but going beyond takes a strength I don't have! 😁
