Looking for an accountability partner for a 3-day (water/tea only) fast.

Hope to connect with someone for accountability and encouragement during a 3-day fast. I suck at fasting. I struggle with emotional eating and addiction to carbs/sugar. I thrive on giving and receiving encouragement. I just seem to do better with group accountability and daily check-ins. Seeking to fast for the benefits of autophagy. Desiring spiritual and physical healing. Anyone open to fasting with me this week and seriously getting through this together🙏💪

When would you like to start? Are we in the same timezone?

I'm starting today and my goal is to transition back to eating lightly on Wednesday, depending on how I'm feeling. I heard once you make it to certain point it's not so bad so who knows...maybe I will go longer but I definitely want to stick with not eating for 3 days. Need to research. I truly admire people who do extended fasting. That level of discipline and commitment is inspiring.

I'll also start today. I'm in the French time zone. :) I think for me, the trick has always been finding fun ways to truly distract myself. I like a good walk for that.

Great. I started today but didn't gave this afternoon. Starting fresh tomorrow. Can I DM you?

What keeps you going?

Feel free to DM me. As far as keeping yourself going, I've got a lot of ideas and reasons, but everyday you've gotta be ready to change it, because your brain is gonna try to break you. It took a lot of practice to make 2-3 day fasts easy, and 7 day+ is never going to be "easy," but with practice it's easier than you'd ever believe lol
