Fasting Februar challenge: Healthy eating, real life, no porn

I'm In !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Vegan Clean Eating Starting Tomorrow Baby !!!!!!!!!!! WooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Day 0
I’m in too. This sounds challenging. Let’s go. Clean diet and intermittent fasting.

 

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan , my mind was thinking earlier today to have greasy middle eastern street food for dinner , but then i pondered at how ridicules it is that i can't go even 1 day without sugary food or fast food !!! then i realized i'm addicted to that stuff !!! so i'll just take it one day at a time !!! Thanks for the inspiring words my man !!! i used to be a Vegan before , so Veganism is something familiar to me i'm used to it , i specifically decided to go Vegan for this challenge because being Vegan has very limited junk food options !!! it's a powerful reason for me to abstain from the unhealthy addictive foods !!!

 

Yeah when i was a Vegan before , i used to eat a lot of beans , hummus , fruits , salad / vegetables and different kinds of nuts / seeds . there aren't a variety of Vegan alternatives here in Cairo - Egypt where i live , but nontheless , it's possible to uphold if the reasons and drive are strong enough !!!!

 

Good Job bro on the Abstinence !!! The emotional turbulence is common , it is challenging indeed to manage our emotions !!! have you tried meditation before ?

 

Day 2
Good morning lads! Intermittent fasting, here I come. Good job on your goals. Stay strong, mates.

 

Nice, fasting February, I like it! I like the name especially because coincidentally I've been fasting myself; doing some extended water fasting for weight loss and health. Plus I love the idea of making a monthly challenge and making it more than just about avoiding porn, but also doing other healthy habits too. So I'm joining in as well!

I get that the word "fasting" in the title is more like just a wordplay, but I would like to actually make real fasting part of this challenge for me personally. Because, like I said, I need to lose some weight. But fasting is also very healthy physically (things like autophagy, ketosis, etc), and good for healing PMO damage too (cause food is one of the biggest sources of dopamine for us, so limiting it I think can help with healing those porn desensitized dopamine receptors). So my rules are:

• No porn.
• Water fasting minimum 3 days a week (no calories of any kind, solid or liquid, whatsoever, for at least 24 hours). This could meant eating every other day, or it could be doing 72 hour long fast, etc.
• Intermittent fasting during the days I do eat. My feeding window is gonna be 4 hours; from 5 PM to 9 PM.

I already completed 1 day water fast yesterday. I am currently on my second day, about 34 hours in (not sure if I end up eating today or not, but I will wait till 5PM first). So checking in for the day 2/29!

 

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannn !!!

Good Job Warriors so far !!!!!!!!!!! Stray Focused and determined !!!!!!!!!!! Let's Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Day 3/29!

 

Thanks!

Nice! You seem to be doing well staying away from those things so far, keep it up! Have you tried actual fasting? Like, from food? Intermittent or otherwise? Obviously you don't have to do it now, but I would recommend trying at some point; fasting from food, especially extended water fasting, does something to the psychology that makes it easier to reboot from addictions. I've read stories of people using extended water fasting to help with quitting smoking, video games, social media, etc—I don't know what it is, but there is some psychological benefit there for quitting all kinds of mental addictions too, not just physical ones.

Yep, a lot of it...

 

Maaaaaaaaaaan i've been literllly fillin up all day on hot beverages herbs green tee and stuff like that , this Vegan diet that i'm on now is so strict !!!!!! but never the less it's totaly worth the sacrfice !!!!!! keep going ma brotha !!!
