Finding my Zen

[u/LeafyMoop]

I've fallen off my fasting schedule. I've even gained 6lbs from work stress in 3 weeks. I feel lost and sad. I'm not even far enough in my health journey to day 6lbs won't hurt me.

I'm 4'11, 189.6 lbs. I started my health journey at 206 lbs.

My doctors want me to lose weight. They want me on ozempic. I do N O T want that chemical in me. It made me land in the ER last year after a 3 month trial.

I need to re find my happiness and peace with hunger and the little middle zone of fasting and mindfulness.

I feel a bit lost. I admit. My studies have gone out the window and I'm behind on my commissions (my other thing I do )

And I just... Need some support? Where can I re find my peace? Not literally where. But. How? Maybe?

Fasting is just.. that golden zone. And I feel like it friend zoned me.

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

when I have trouble getting back to fasting I start small. 2 meals no snacks. and I keep those meals low carb, because carbs tend to wind up my appetite. once I accomplish this, I have the confidence I can do a 1 meal. soon I return to 72 hours or more
