#10dayfast

[jdsorganicproductions]

Decided to do a 10 day fast but zero only had up to 7 on the menu. Luckily it allows the time to keep on ticking so... day 9 begins in about an hour. I am excited for the fast to end because I want to eat, but I am committed to finishing all 10 days because my body desperately needed a break from all the crap I was eating.

This fast has been more challenging than my 40 day fast because I am not at work during the week. (It’s summer and I work the school schedule) That means I have all day around the family eating all the foods I want to eat. We go out and it’s take away pizza or lunch plates, we stay home it’s burgers, pasta, chili fries and brownies. Basically torture.

I am thankful though because it has allowed me to make emotional decisions about support. What do I think support is and what do I think it looks like? Do I need support to feel a certain way or be successful or do I need to dig down deep and trust that no matter what is going on around me, I will achieve my goal because I am important to myself. The most beautiful part has also been my spiritual discoveries. I always continue to grow closer to the Lord when I fast because I don’t want to be mean or someone no one wants to be around so I spend a lot of time in the word.

To break the fast successfully, I have been researching. When I broke my 40 day fast I didn’t make the smartest choices. This time, I plan to do better. I have planned for 3 days of soups and then a gentle transition from raw solids into cooked solids. In fact, day 10 after my fast I will have chili. My first cooked meal besides the soups in 19 days.

My goal with all of this is to eat gluten-free as well as plant-based and to have the least amount of toxins possible by avoiding processed food. One major benefit to this plan is that by using the MyFitnessPal app, I have been able to enter the recipes for my meals and see the calorie count which is helping me stay under the 2000 cal daily plan I set up.

I haven’t been working out so my daily calorie count is actually more like 1400 or 1500 but all that will change in about a week when school starts and I get back into my routines. Hopefully anyway. Hahaha

Thanks for reading my update and best of luck to anyone attempting to fast whether it is intermittent, short block like 3 days or extended for 10 or more days. You can do it and it’s ok to restart a couple times if need be. Just keep listening to your body and make healthy choices!! 💪🏽🎉🤙🏽

As a mother I often feel underappreciated. The tasks I do everyday are not always apparent to others and go unnoticed (that is, until I DON'T do them). Some days, it makes me wonder if it's worth it to do it all: to scrub toilets 🚽, wipe baseboards, dust the fan...Ya know, all the fun stuff our husbands have no clue that we do 🙄. Our chores and tasks can become monotonous and mundane. I often lose sight of my purpose--other than being the maid. But yesterday, I was reminded that as women, sisters, daughters, friends and mothers, we have a SPECIAL purpose. Our qualities, characteristics and skills ARE extremely valuable, needed, and appreciated--although sometimes it may not feel like it. Being a mother may often feel like a thankless job. We do so much for our families, always putting them first, and that can be taken for granted. But know that ❤️ YOU ARE LOVED ❤️ and needed. God knows how hard you work and He sees your love laced through everything you do. GOD NEEDS YOU and your specific strengths to bring others to Him and to nurture His children, your children, the way ONLY YOU CAN DO as a mother. Yesterday, President Russell M. Nelson, the prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints gave a challenge to all women. He encouraged us to reorganize our priorities and focus our strengths and talents to more important things and to help gather God's sheep. In accordance with this challenge, the 5 of us are having a 10-day fast from social media and/or other impure or negative media. We hope to refocus our priorities and better our lives and the lives of those around us. So for the next 2 weeks we will be unplugged 👋. We extend the challenge to you if you wish to participate!

As a religious person, I recognize fasting as a way to get in touch with the man upstairs. Cultures ancient and modern have used fasting as a rite of passage, and I now understand why. Fasting has helped me understand myself. It has helped me realize I don't need to eat constantly in order to fuel my body. I have learned that I can rely on myself to follow through on commitments even when things get tough. Weight loss is an added benefit of fasting. I have been recompositioning for a couple months now, but my body did not want to lose weight. I'm sure I was deficient in some of the nutrients I have been taking during the fast, so getting those has helped my body relax and let some fat and water weight go. Nausea has definitely been an issue, which was a surprise, but maybe that's the body's way of saying to take it easy when I do eat again, because a hard-to-digest meal could be very difficult for my system to handle. That said, I feel like I could go through a huge plate of fried chicken right now, it's one of my biggest cravings. @dorfnation Chosen1 and Eradicate FTW!

I decided to semi- document my experiences with this ten-day water fast. I've done many fasts through out my life, starting from high school (some would call this anorexia), but last year was my first true ten day fast of just water. I have no idea how I worked and went to school during that time. It ended up being a beautiful experience, very spiritual and mind opening to what the body can do. By the end of that fast I had no appetite and if it wasn't for going to see Future Islands play at Music Hall of Williamsburg, I would have probably gone longer. It kind of scared me that eating no longer felt like a part of my everyday. When your body stops thinking about your next meal, counting calories, is this good to put in my body, is this bad, etc, it opens the doors to a whole new level of cognitive activity. My last water fast was ruined because I'm a big lush. I simply could not say no to a nice cold beer. To me it was a reward for starving myself for ten days, but in reality I completely destroyed my body after that fast. My body was pissed and came back with a vengeance. I didn't break the fast properly and because of that for the last year I have been battling my weight. I use to drop weight super quick if I wanted to. I am in no way or have ever been fat, but I am definitely plumper than I'm use to. I blamed this mainly on the fact that last year was my first year of being single in New York City. I lived with three dudes, had a huge appetite for alcohol, and a 24-hour bodega that happily served me chocolate covered pretzels and smart popcorn at all hours of the night. Also I was a bartender at a Mexican restaurant can you say cheese, cheese, and more cheese. So from not properly breaking my fast last year to partying way too hard, my body has been fucked. I might as well have been crowned the Jessica fucking Simpson of Bushwick, that’s how bad my weight has fluctuated. Fast Forward March 2014, I am now in Key West. After getting roofied and missing a really important shoot that I was working on (also who wants to stay in New York in the winter), I decided to slow down and boy did moving to Key West slow me down. The most fun I have now is taking my puppy to the dog park. I party maybe once a month now. I am actually disgusted by humanity and their drinking problem after bartending in Key West. However it is nice not waking up feeling like shit everyday, but I definitely miss going balls to the walls some days. Anyways, back to the topic of this post. Here we are, my body is turned to shit, and I'm happily in a relationship so why not do a 10 day water fast again. Fucking Miserable. Why I thought doing this with a boyfriend was a good idea? No clue. Cooking dinner with him is probably my favorite thing to do. As he sat eating dumplings last night I wanted to stab myself in the eye with a chopstick. It's spring break in Key West, and I’m lolling around like a fucking 80 year old because I have no energy to do anything. They say this will change, but I'm not so sure. The smell of my dogs’ treats even makes my mouth water. All I dream about is eating. I dream of burgers and I don't even eat meat. Am I doing this solely for weight loss? No I had such an amazing experience my last fast. It’s really about detoxing, mental clarity, discipline and resetting the body. Day ONE I did not prepare for this fast at all. I have been juicing a lot lately and I really don't eat badly, but they say you should juice for three days before doing water fast. I did not and I am paying for it. I woke up and just decided, “Hey lets not eat for ten days and see what happens.” Not many changes through out the day, I usually don't eat until around 4pm anyways. My boyfriend bought me two cases of water, not really sure how he got that home on the scooter, but it was really sweet. I’ve just been chugging water all day and all night. I picked George up from work with a horrible headache. He was insisting that I stop by a bar on the way home to say hi to his friend. I felt bad for denying and being bitchy, but I could not hold up a conversation with anyone at this point. I was hungry, my head hurt, and I pretty much was open to punching someone if they looked at me wrong. So I go home and I'm in bed hoping I would be in dreamland soon. Nope didn't happen, it’s five o'clock in the morning and I still can't sleep because my stomach is cramping and I'm starving. After doing some yoga poses and deep breathes I finally fall asleep. I slept for maybe four hours and all my dreams were about food. I kept having dreams where I would go in the kitchen and eat something and then feel bad that I broke the fast. I have a very hard time differentiating between my dreams and reality. I wasn’t even having good dreams. The one place I can escape everything, yet I can't escape the hunger. Fuck this fast. All of sudden this giant juicy burger of meat that I don't even like takes the staring role in my dreams. What happened to Ryan Gosling? Day 2. I am still hungry, but oddly functioning more than I have in a long time. I have been dealing with bouts of depression lately, mainly just me being antisocial because I hate almost every single person that resides on this stupid island. Even if I were still partying I would not party with any of these Jimmy Buffet wannabes. Anyways, I have more energy today. I sun bathed, went for a bike ride, took sailor for a walk, did some exercises at home, cleaned, wrote, and went on another long walk with George. I started noticing more details about things around the house. For example how much little dried up pieces of toothpaste were stuck to our bathroom sink. How no one puts the toilet paper on the roll but me. Little things like pieces of leaves on the doormat started driving me crazy. I like the newfound detail orientated trait that I have. I usually have to get extremely close to a mirror to realize just how bad my eyebrows are. The hardest parts about today were walking past Benihana and smelling the delicious hibachi and of course my roommate bringing home dumplings. I love dumplings. Sleeping went well. I did enough bullshit stuff to keep my mind off eating that I was actually exhausted by the time I went to bed. Day 3 Today is by far the hardest. Who ever tells you day three is the easiest is lying. I woke up with a beating heart and chest pain. When I got out of bed to take Sailor out, I was seeing all stars and had to lean on the wall. I felt like I was going to throw up and no amount of water helped. Most people would say at this point to get off the fast immediately, but I can't do that. In my head that would be making excuses and I am making a big effort to not make excuses for my actions. I went back to sleep until around one. When I woke up I felt like death, but my dog was going ape shit. While sleeping he took all of the toilet paper off the roll and spread it around the living room, ate my xylophone stick, and tried eating an ant trap. He would then jump into bed put his head on my shoulder and lick my face. Which is cute for a second until you think about what else he puts in his mouth. I woke up to the house in disarray and all the little things I talked about yesterday, I decided to clean. I even tried reviving roses that my boyfriend bought me two days ago. They do not come back to life. I then took Sailor for a walk; he fell in love with a Boston terrier puppy and was pissed at me when I got home. I tried teaching him to long board, but he didn't want to do it today. It is now Saturday, 7:40 pm, I would much rather be dancing and drinking my vodka sodas with a splash of grapefruit, but I am hoping this fast pans out. I know for a fact it will help me feel more disciplined and reset my body, but I miss food. When people are hungry they just reach for something and eat it. We need to realize how lucky we are to have food available to us at all times because there are people that live everyday feeling this horrible. I know people are going to read this and criticize me for choosing this, but it really is worth it when it is done properly. And I also don’t care what you think ☺ Still haven't found enlightenment yet.
