Life after fasting

I haven't died. I fasted for two more days following the last entry and then started to feel pretty sick and had to slowly start eating.
I am doing fine and put on very little weight in the past 1 1/2 months of eating. The lowest weight went down to 62.8kg and now I am 64.5kg. My life had changed in the process, I fell in love with the food I could not stand before and stopped liking many things I did.

Unfortunately, I have also stopped knitting, the more I fasted the more I wanted to stop. I am into cross stitching now, something I had stopped 5 years ago when I picked up knitting. I did put on weigh around that time, so maybe there is a connection. I like looking at my yarn and do feel guilty about not knitting but really don't want to do it now.

Here is how I look now (with my mum visiting Ely)

Day 30!

I am still alive and doing well! With both crises being over, I can simply enjoy myself now. And considering how busy work wise I've been all week, I would say not eating certainly has plus sides. For instance, I do not have to think about lunch and dinner, I can just go on with my experiment without rushing for a quick one now and then.

My tongue is almost completely pink now and I am starting to feel hunger pangs for about 2-5min every couple of days, therefore I am not sure I will fast for another full 10 days, maybe just 5. I do not want to abuse my body and I am pretty happy with the way I look now.

I am down to 64.1kg

Day 20: Half way point!

I am half day done!!! Well I am currently just way too tired to be cheerful, not feeling that well at all today, was sleepy all afternoon and once again found it rather difficult to walk up the stairs. Just really want to feel more energetic again. So I am off to bed,

my weight is the same today

Days 17-19 and Dulce

Sorry for not writing, I haven't stopped fasting I had my crisis point. And oh God was it bad, At some point I thought I would not make it through. My whole body was hurting really bad for two days. I am only happy it happened during the bank holiday weekend and not during the working week, that would have been a complete disaster. At any rate it is over now, and I did have a good night sleep tonight since haven't slept at all previous night. I would not wish anyone to go through it, all books say crisis it tough but I was not prepared.
I am down to 66.7kg!

Also, just to show what loosing all this weight means in turns of clothes is the picture of Dulce. When I've started it it in mid-March I swear it was a perfect fit for me, not any more. More info on Ravelry

Day 16

I don't know what to write really, just another day full of work. I am feeling OK and not that hungry. Didn't sleep that much last night because of work, so feeling tired today.

I am down to 68.5kg

Day 15

Today is a bit of a crappy day for me since I do not feel very well, nothing major, just a bit there and there. A bit nauseous, a bit cranky. Want to get home but there is too much work in the lab, so don't think I will finish before half 10 :(

My weight is the same, nothing changed.

Day 14 (two full weeks)

Two weeks done! I am feeling generally fine but in the morning was a bit nauseous. It seems that if I drink a bit more than 250ml it gets too much for me. Also I forgot to take magnesium supplement yesterday so ended up with a crump today.

I am down to 69kg, -9kg overall.
