@devinedwelling: 5 Reasons I Love Fasting Fasting, for me, was never just about food. It started when I went sober. By learning to resist the urge to reach for something to numb or distract myself. Then it became about food, the thing I used to reach for even when I wasn’t hungry. Fasting and sobriety showed me how strong I really am and how in control I actually am, when for most of my life I believed I wasn’t. Fasting has been a practice in self-control, awareness, and strength — the discipline to sit in discomfort and not give in. That same discipline has carried into every single part of my life. Here are five reasons I love fasting: 1. It helped me reset my relationship with food. I eat when I’m hungry, not emotional. 2. My energy stays steady, no highs, no crashes, no brain fog. 3. My confidence skyrocketed because I keep promises to myself. 4. I don’t have to count calories, fasting naturally regulates how much I eat. And because I eat high-protein, healthy-fat, whole-food meals during my window, I feel completely satiated and nourished, never deprived. I have remained the same size for two years because I am consistent with how often I fast. 5. It reminds me daily that I’m stronger than my impulses. If I can let any of you out there know one thing, it’s this: you are so much stronger than your urges. Fasting isn’t deprivation, it’s discipline. And discipline is the highest form of self-love. (Always talk to your healthcare provider before making changes to your diet or fasting routine.) #FASTING #intermittentfasting #over40women #over40
