There are days when we feel on top of the world, and have faith in easily extending our fasting window for as long as possible. And then there are days when all we can think about is cheese and crackers! (All of the cheese and crackers! Rahhhh!)
Whether you’re one to simply fly through your fast day – no caffeine needed, or you like to savour every. single. minute of your eating window – every Super Faster has been through what we like to call, fast fails. But, fast fails happen even if you’re a Master Faster. Especially when you’re attempting a longer fast for the first time. So if extending your fast has you on struggle street, you’re not alone. A banging body requires dedication – but it also requires the ability to bounce back, have a laugh and brush yourself off when you stumble.
Today, we’ve decided to summarise how we feel about longer fasts with a GIF story. You’re welcome.
Everything starts off swimmingly. And you’re all: “I’m all in for this challenge… let’s do this!”
Oh sweet… This is easy, I’ll be just fine!
Then you try to explain to your friends what you’re doing… And they don’t quite get it.
So you give them a rundown of the health benefits.
You suspect they still don’t get it, but you’re pumped nonetheless.
And then it happens. The dreaded sugar monster arrives. The cravings have begun.
And you get a liiiiiittle hangry.
But that’s ok, because you know something that can help!
Ahhhh, that’s better. This is an awesome challenge. I’m feeling better than ever! Queen Master Faster I am.
And then you get the dreaded text: “Hey you free, let’s grab a donut!”
Contemplation: Should I just have a feast day instead?
I’m so hungry. I need a snack: *ravages the snack cupboard*
But the little voice says: “No – don’t do it. The end is near, you’re so close.” And you can see the finish line.
And then, finally: “I’ve made it to the end. I feel on top of the world!”
Wow, maybe a slightly longer fast isn’t so hard after all.
