anyone up for a fast?

[LostCause]

hey! I have been struggling for so long now. I started Abc but, since im a binger, it didnt start to good. Once i swallow food its like i transform into this food beast. So i want to do a good ol' fast for as long as i can. At least a week. Anyone want to join or give support? Either would be awesome.

[progirl]

Oooh me! ME!!!!! I so want to.

[gainingcontrol]

Yeah , me toooo :D

[LostCause]

Cool! I'm starting today and so far I have had nothing. Of course its way early here. I have a question though. Should it be all water and diet soda(sometimes)? I have these fiber weight management chewables and they help you feel full. They are 15cals each. Should I stay away from them, or do you think its acceptable?

Thanks for joining in!! It feels better when someone is there to help you along.

i was going to start today
but long story cut short im at my friends and i get made to eat breakfast , so ill start tomorrow
water and diet soda sounds good :)
yeah i think those chews are acceptable if there making you feel full :)

[LostCause]

Its hard to not eat around friends. Sometimes they are the the first to suspect something more than your own family. When I had friends they would always make me eat something. The cool part was I could fast up until time to go out and then eat really small. Then they say "well at least you ate something." Meanwhile you hardly had any cals at all.
Good luck today with your friend and good luck starting tomorrow.

Thank you :)
yeah its a nightmare , everything i do gets watched and i get made to eat even when i really am not even hungry , its soo annoying . In a way this just makes my eating worse , like im trying to rebel from what others what me to do
its confusing haha :S
but im focused on starting tomorrow :)

stay strong :)

[LostCause]

well it looks like ill be starting the fast with you tomorrow. Im broke and carless and i wanted to take a laxie during the fast. I know that sometimes it makes you hungry, but i like to feel cleaned out while im fasting. Anyway, my mom said she'd get it for me if she saw me eat today. which i dont understand the point of that. Ill follow her stupid little stipulation, but she knows that for the most part ill do what i want. I even let her know that if i want to purge then she cant stop me and if she tries ill puke on her foot. Lol she doesnt bother me about purging too much. Anyway, we will be starting together tomorrow!

[anonomousmia]

lol at the bit about your mum, made me smile a little. I will fast aswell, I'm also mia and soon as I eat I'm like a frickin garbage bin and will munch on everything!. . . .will post on here how tomorrow goes (Friday) good luck xx

[LostCause]

good luck to you too. Oh and i wanted to clarify something. The fiber choice weight management chewables i have are 15cals for two not each. If you can find it, its worth a try. I also started taking QT extreme burn and it is awesome.

[Starving-Beauty]

Dont fast it makes u just ant to binge more and u get cravings so bad.


Just eat like atleast 500cals a day and up to 700

[LostCause]

thanx for the advice. I know you are right, but i worry. I can restrict and sometimes do really well. I want to fast because i am afraid that if i start eating, i wont stop eating. Then i feel guilty of anything i put in my mouth and it has been hard for me to purge lately. I have no clue what im going to do...and the whole eat healthy thing isnt something my disordered mind can comprehend. What do you girls suggest i do? Should we still fast or should we go back into good ol' restriction and exercise?

[gainingcontrol]

:(
This fast is just not working , I've been places in circumstances for 2 days now where I had to eat :(
I don't know wether to continue or try ABC
Advice and support please ? :(


Stay strong :)

[LostCause]

i fasted today but this seems to be a bad idea. Maybe we should do this fast some other time. Good luck with ABC if you try it. Keep me posted. I would love to see how good you do.

[Priscilla]

if i could spend a week at a friends house, i wouldn't eat anything.
actually, make that a different persons house each day (:
i can't stand eating around other people
it makes me feel weak
but when i get home, i can be really really bad):

[gainingcontrol]

I think I'm going to start ABC tomorrow :)
I'm not strong enoughto fast , it's so annoying
Let me know how you's are doingthough :)

[anonomousmia]

I did a stupid binge today but had a good purge (if theres such a thing?!) but then I came home and mum had a chinese ready. . .sweet n sour chicken, chicken in black bean sauce, egg fried rice, spring rolls and prawn crackers. . . .so I had to eat, especially because my sister was going out so it would of been completely wasted as my dad doesn't eat it. . .*sign* ffs.

fasting does not work for me, just leads to binges. I'm actually so greedy it does my head in.

I'm on day 2 of a 7+ day (?) water fast. I'm fasting until I lose at least 10 lbs. If anyone wants to join me, please do. :)

[anonomousmia]

hey, i have successfully fasted all of today (yay!) so il be on day 2 2moro! . . .i need to drop 13 lbs by 1st december and I know I can do it :-) i will not be able to fast for too long though because i like to exercise but i will try to fast with u 2moro aswell! good luck *thumbs up*!! i like doing things with people of similar stats (we r the same height!) cuz its more motivational, lets fast away our frickin fatty parts! lol xx

oooo, plus ive just ordered this hot halloween outfit to wear on sat!! so must be back under 8 stone by then so i look gd :-) xx

[FixYou]

I'm on day 2 of fasting although i had a small glass of skimmed milk earlier and if i am feeling really weak i will have a diet 37cal hot chocolate because i have a tendancy to pass out and if i pass out then my mum gets all stressy and practically force-feeds me, I am not sure how much longer i can last fasting but i am sure with a little help i might actually do well. My mum hasn't realised i am fasting yet lets hope she doesn't any time soon.



Keep me motivated please!

[anonomousmia]

i think fasting beyond 48hrs is tough and not healthy! but it works sooo yeah. lol. good luck, maybe just hold on 4 one more day on minimum food :-) i hav a headache already! lol xx

[angelwingzz]

Hey! Id love to join u for support. Im in need I've had no solids today. I wouldn't say diet soda. Organic juice and water for me! Warm liquids with 1 buyon? Cube idk if I spelld that right makes u feel like you've eaten. And yea those fiber choice chews r great!makes u gassy tho lol

[KirbyLyneth]

I've never attempted a fast, can someone explain to me the rules ? as Ive heard of liquid fasts, fruitfast and the like =S bit confusing ahah x x

[anonomousmia]

a true fast is where you drink nothing but water, this is the strictest of fasts.

juice fasts, fruit fasts are where you eat nothing except what the fast is. i.e, juice and fruit respectively.

most people accept a fast as water, diet soda's, sugar free squash, but no food. xx

[fionaaleksoska]

i am totally up for this! i want to start now but its 5 o'clock in the evening and i just made a veggie pizza thats in the oven for my husband and daughter. i wont eat any now but if i get hungry later tonight i might have a banana or something. so my fast will start tomorrow. wish me luck!

by the way, im new to this site. actually iv never signed up to any site like this before but this is exactly what i need. other like minded people to talk to and support me through fasts and binges!

anyway, good luck everyone else!! ill check in tomorrow

[anonomousmia]
