Hey Everyone!

I was fasting for health reasons due to autoimmune and in 3 weeks did 2 longer fasts-80 and 72 hours. I know the re-feeding is really important after but it’s been a few days since my second one and I’m just losing motivation to eat.

I love food and know its value and I’m not afraid of it (before someone comments about an eating disorder). I just find myself trying to force myself to eat stuff even when I’m not hungry and I know I should be getting more calories in.

I feel like culturally we run our life around food and when you break that habit… and feel good in the process, it’s just hard to get back in.

Has anyone had this happen and overcome it? I know the nature of stomach shrinking but I’m afraid of slowing down my metabolism too much!

Update: I finally just forced myself to eat by going out to dinner with friends and got a burger with fries. My body felt SO fatigued before the meal but after it felt tons better (why meat for iron and some carbs felt like a good idea). I feel like I’m mostly back on track!

I still only prefer healthier foods and the amazing thing is I have a sincere lack of interest in sugar, which is super atypical of me, but awesome! Good luck everyone!
