in Motivation and Support
Hello everyone! I hope that you weekends were active and wonderful!

Tomorrow I will fast completely and then weigh myself on Tuesday! As of Tuesday I will start my food tracking. Anybody want to be my motivation buddy? We can help each other!

I am from Montreal, Quebec but currently live in Moscow, Russia. I am active, happy, somewhat healthy but I eat badly (chocolate and un pain au chocolat? Yes please!!) and sleep a couple of hours a night (I love to go out). Can someone write to me regularly, we can check on how we are eating, exercing and make each other smile and feel good!

Let's do this! Good luck on your journeys friends!

    For what purpose are you fasting? If it's just to get a lower weight on Tuesday that seems rather ridiculous?

    I do not understand any benefit in fasting

    It isn't for that purpose! It is because I used to fast once a week to detox and I always start motivation kicks by fasting. Also, it differs from person to person! I fasted weekly for years, and did a lot of my fitness blogging friends, and we all feel better! I haven't in six months and I feel much less healthy! Everyone is different, I enjoy fasting!

    What are you detoxing by fasting that your body doesn't already do?

    You used to do It, yet you're back losing weight again... maybe that suggests it wasn't sustainable or actually useful for weight loss?

    Haha, I gained weight again because I spent 4 months in Thailand and Cambodia overeating all of the time and partying a lot! Actually, I stayed fit while I fasted but I was incapable of doing it during my time in Thailand as I was constantly surrounded by people and we ate together! Still, I am not overweight but I want to get my old weight back (55kg!).

    Also, I enjoy the taste of food so much more after fasting!

    Are you doing intermittent fasting? I enjoy the mental benefits, like not really caring about food whatsoever. It becomes more technical, less emotional. I'm not doing it right now though. I support wise fasting for sure. Good luck!

    there is no bad foods. and you need more sleep. the less sleep you get the more likely you are to be hungry. I know that for me that is an issue. as for starving yourself for 24hrs its not going to boost or jump start anything and you arent detoxing anything.
