    First off I just want to say I'm so inspired by this group! I know I couldn't have gotten this far if it wasn't for everyone's support, kindness and knowledge. One of the main things that I always tell people is that they need a support network if they are going to embark on a fitness/health journey. I always used to do this stuff alone and it is so much harder.

    I'm doing my first 48 hour fast and I don't have any anxiety about it at all. I suffer a lot with anxiety and PTSD so it is wonderful to feel calm and confident as I challenge myself. I remember a time when I couldn't go more than 4 hours before I had to eat. And I never thought I could go 24 hours so this process has given me a lot of confidence.

    I also had popcorn last night. Which is actually a big deal. I have suffered with huge tummy issues and have to abide by a very strict diet which can be draining at times for the lack of variety. I do the best I can to make them yummy but sometimes you just need to feel like you are "normal" and have a treat. Well this morning I felt great, my stomache wasn't bloated, my eyes werent puffy, I didn't feel lethargic. I feel the OMAD is helping to heal my gut and I am so thankful!

    I hope everyone has an amazing day! Thanks for being my friend!!

    That's good that the popcorn didn't bother your stomach :) Hopefully you'll be able to eat more foods in your journey with OMAD o:) Thanks for being my friend too and have a fabulous day!!!

    I can't believe how amazing I feel! Doing this 48 hour fast has not been hard at all so far (knock on wood). It was a little tough falling asleep but I woke up energized, not hungry, and really proud of myself for doing this! I get to eat my OMAD tonight and will post a photo. I've been really gorging myself during my OMAD as you have seen from my photos, and I was reminded about the 1 plate "rule." I feel like I'm ready to implement that now. It is nice to feel like I'm gaining more control over my "true" hunger. I know I will have bad days and slip up but it is all about baby steps and never quiting. Thanks @brendagaudette and @leveejohn!!

    @dajoloehr I was lazy so I just steamed some already riced cauliflower and blended it with butter and salt and pepper. I'm trying to stay away from cream and cheese right now, but these recipes below are awesome! Check them out! I really want to try the loaded cauli-mash one day!

    @leveejohn I was amazed how EASY it was! I plan on incorporating it mid week so Wednesday will be a non-eating day. Then do my usual OMAD throughout the week. Sunday/Saturday I will probably have 2 meals so my fiance won't kill me. He thinks I'm crazy for doing fasting but he sees how happy I am so that keeps him quite ha!
