Ok @redhead_che how are you doing now? Did the hunger pass?

The hunger is ever present....but it's in my head now. Keep thinking about all these awful things I can't have. And shouldn't have anyway.

Can you get up and do something different? Also, pound down about 8oz of Water or more. Drink till "filled almost", then sip sip sip to the full line. I know what it takes for me, but you have to learn it. We all do. So do that and keep full up with water. It takes all hunger from me when I do this?

Tea stabilizes hunger better for me than coffee so maybe a different liquid will help!

I’ll be going back to my 16:8 I think. I need more practice. Or willpower. Or both. I caved. Good luck Fluff!

You did great! We've been doing this longer than you have, hon! Thanks for giving it a shot. How many hours did you go today? At some point you will feel ready to try it again. And also, it's much easier once you've been 16:8 for a while and also if you are low carb/keto. WTG girlie!!

Ok, I'm right at 36 hours this morning and I woke with thoughts of "Oh, maybe I'll just do a 36 hour fast..." But now I'm awake and logical and I didn't do a 36 hour fast just to cafe on autophagy now! My BG fasting is 82 this morning which is really good for me! Wooot! I still have fasting BGs in the mid to high 90s. Damn you PCOS and insulin resistance. So I'ma keep ridin' the wave, drinking mah black coffee and black green tea til the cows come home and I physically can't do it anymore. If there is even a whisper of a chance that autophagy will eat some of my handing batwings and thigh skin/tummy skin, color me the frick there!!! I'm your huckleberry.

On a bright note, I'm back to 149.4lbs so weekend bloat is gone and I am working my way back to the newest low today. I'm going to try to make it until 8pm tonight then break my fast with a cup of Bone Broth, then a eat a light regular dinner of green Soup in bone broth with shrimpies.

Had a 3 day "Stayaction" with the wife this past weekend for our 20th Anniversary (today) and my 40th Birthday (Thursday). I clocked 56 flights of stairs and 14.39 miles. I also did not IF, nor did I follow *any* diet other than "I can't eat any more" / "I'm full". I drank a decent amount and ate things I shouldn't. Actually had 1 episode of dumping, which sucked but... I was sort of thankful for, the fact that it's still there. The dumping came with the consumption of a large butternut donut. I drank beer, Japanese whiskey, Soju, Sake and some amazing mixed drinks. The hotel we stayed at had 3 bars, a upscale pseudo Japanese fusion restaurant http://www.foodbynorth.com/ . A really cool speakeasy inspired bar, behind a non-descript door and all that had some amazing cocktails and this awesome "Star wars" canteena sort of vibe (in that it was dark and lit with only candles and it had a earthy color pallet. Then there was the Japanese inspired Karaoke bar Boombox, with imported Snacks and booze. It was so cool to be able to eat and drink and not have to worry about anything other than a few flights of stairs.

Overall, I had a very good weekend. And I lost a little bit over the weekend to by some means of magic! I am having a hard time getting back into the swing of things again though, my stomach is NOT happy with me today.

Yay @Matt Z what a great report and Happy Anniversary!!!! Your staycation sounds like the bomb!!!! And I'm not surprised you lost! Sometimes you have to refuel the pump to tell your body you're not starvin'!!! So glad you partook and only had one small dumping hiccup. The hotel sounds amazing!

You'll get back to whatever you need to do. So glad to hear happiness again!!

Happy Upcoming Birthday!!! Yippee!!!
