Fasted last Tuesday, then ate (and drank, which I shouldn’t have done) normally yesterday. 1.0 kg down from the fast, then 0.7 kg up from yesterday. It’s something, but it’s slow. Today, after breakfast (leftover scrambled eggs and bacon from yesterday’s dinner), I’m fasting again until tomorrow.
Since I have no plans for next Sunday except staying at home, I’m considering a third day of fasting this week, as an exception; the added free time should allow me to both exercise and play more video games (a side of my life I’ve been ignoring far too much, recently).
By the way, an interesting fact that I’ve discovered by fasting is that, completely separate from food, hunger and all those aspects, I also enjoy the meal time; that is, the sitting down, with a good book (I usually eat alone, because, well, I live alone), and nothing to worry about, with no feeling of “wasted time”. During the two times I fasted, I often felt like I wanted to go to the kitchen and sit down to read, not because I was hungry, but because that’s a “ritual” I enjoy so much.
Of course, nothing prevents me from picking up a book and reading for an hour or so (though it’s better not to do it in the kitchen, as it can give me ideas), but, somehow, that’s not something that my mind naturally comes up with.
