21 Day Water Fast, Day 4. comments for more details

So yeah, I started water fasting. Since I was 7 or 8 (that's when my parents broke up) I was just adding up more weight. I was uncomfortable with my weight, last summer I was letting myself go out because I was feeling ashamed of my body... I've reached every little bit of patience I had left. I don't want to be fat anymore. I don't want to be that guy every finger points to.

I have tried diets, supplements, exercise, hell even all of those combined. Diets just gets me more hungry and I just give up on the 2nd week. Supplements are a great misleading marketing lie to make you spend your money. Exercise had some results, but due to time restrictions I had to give up that too...

Since last year, i have been searching everything about fast. The benefits, the cons, the dangers, keto diet, OMAD diet, intermittent fasting, countless hours on Google, YouTube videos, Reddit posts, researches... It really changed how I view food... I am far from confident that this time I am doing what I really want. Enough with the dramatic story details, let's get into the juicy stuff:)

Day 1 It was small struggle. I had done fasts before (small durations unfortunately), so I it was anything that I wasn't expecting. The hunger spikes were there

Day 2 The worst day. Nausea, headaches, my stomach was acting like a FUCKIN' dragon. Still don't know how I survived it TBH. I just wanna eat everything. Goddamn, the 2nd day is truly the wildest one.

Day 3 I woke up and felt great. I think, I made into ketosis. I feel so light, happy even. The only struggle I had, was my mother. She noticed that I don't eat, and I am pretty sure she has something in her sleeve to change my plans. Not this time, uneducated bitch. Around afternoon, I felt the need to sleep, unfortunately that kept wake all night long. But, got to listen to my body right?

Day 4 Ooof, today is even better. No more hunger. Note euphoria. I can concentrate more when studying and overall I feel so productive. And active even. I just wanna go out and walk my ass off. Too bad the weather doesn't allow to. I broke the 1 rule I shouldn't; I told a friend about me fasting. He didn't took it well at first, but he's logical and I explained him every single detail. He actually supports me. It feels good to know that the people you trust the most understands and supports your cause. I could never asked for more.
