It's the end of day 1, and the beginning of day 2. I ended up eating until near 12AM - so hopefully I'll stay the course now that I've started over. I now have a fasting buddy, and this should make this whole journey much more bearable to have someone to talk to about the process, and what's happening with my body.
I've been feeling relatively good today, no lack of energy, or feeling crabby, I tried to steer clear of too much overexertion because of my trial run fast, and I think it definitely helped that I moved around only minimally. I can definitely see this getting tougher as the days go on, as I'll be in the company of others who will make note of the fact that I am not consuming as everyone else. As this is all a journey to reacquaint with my body and its real needs, I'll hopefully learn to conquer my cravings, and not let others' influence me too much away from this journey I've chosen to embark.
My stomach has started to sink in, and is starting to feel as though it is eating itself, major movements do seem to prove difficult, and muscles are starting to feel slightly sore, and overused, my tongue is also reverting to this grimy/clammy feeling but my hopes are these feelings will subside as I get through the first 72 hours.
It's just another 48 hours, JUST another 48.

Fasting, Day 1
Fasting (1-30 days)
Day 1 (Sept 6 - 6PM)
I had started fasting Sunday evening, not eating after 3PM - I ended that last night when I impulsively decided to eat junk. Talk about not overcoming my impulses. Fasting, I hope, will help me control my food cravings. I definitely do not eat to stop hunger, I eat because I crave food, I crave junk. I can eat tubs and tubs of ice cream, nonstop, or until the tub is devoured. I'm not obese, or am in desperate need of losing weight, but those cravings will be the death of me, if I do not control them before it's too late.
Some stats to start with:
118lbs
11.25" upper
29" around
My main goal would be overcoming, and getting in control of my poor eating habits. At least enough for my friends and family to stop being amazed at how much I eat, and how much bad foods I can consume in one sitting, or over a one hour period. Losing some BF along the fasting journey would be a big positive, as well, it'll definitely give me more reason to maintain good habits. I'm not so much concerned with the actual weight difference, but a change in my circumference would be nice.
Current feeling: =)
I'm full from lots of protein drinks, spread throughout the day, loads of bread, pineapple buns, and nuts. I'm not sure why I eat to the point where I feel like this, but hopefully fasting will debunk it.
