I've been on a fast since sunday and haven't eaten a thing since then. The only problem is that I don't seem to have lost as much weight as i'd have liked. I don't understand; i've been drinking lots of water and sugar free drinks, i've been exercising until I can barely breathe and I haven't touched ANY food. Arggh, it doesn't make sense. I experienced really bad hunger pains yesterday - I couldn't get food out of my head, I had a headache and was tired. I'm just hoping that the pounds will all fall off again like they did when I last fasted!
I'm hoping to continue the fast until next wednesday and then i'll introduce a bit of fruit into my diet. I've also made an appointment with my GP to ask if she'll give me some pills to decrease my appetite (I doubt she will but it's worth a try). I weigh myself several times a day and the amount i've lost (or gained..) determines how I feel. Anyway, the hunger has decreased today (it normally does around day 3) and i've been using pro ana and thinspiration to keep me going.
- I'm diabetic which makes it slightly more difficult, but i've been having the occasional sugary drink when I feel my blood sugar going too low. I just hope I can do it.
