Fasting for 50 days
I haven't been here for a while so hi to all my old buddies!
I have been "fasting" according to my religion for 50 days before Easter we do not eat anything that comes from an animal. You don't have to do it but it is something I enjoy every year. I find it amazing that since I started I have had no need or urge to binge or eat anything I like.
It just blows my mind that for the last few weeks my house has been full of cakes, muffins, chocolate and I have had no desire to even want to taste anything. That's my downfall.
So I sit here and wonder why can I be so focused and do so well for this but when it comes to a diet or eating plan I cannot do it for the life of me?
I find all kinds of excuses to cheat.
Don't get me wrong I am not complaining. I feel great, I eat fruit and veggies and legumes and beans, talk about clean eating! I have been drinking my water and all. But once the 50 days are over I'm back to where I started.
