The most I've done in a row is 14.(I was so cranky my wife made me eat.) I do 2 days fast, 1 day I can eat, then 2 days fast, 2 days eating. It just takes the idea that "I can eat whatever I want in two days." It keeps me going.
That's amazing. The most I've done is a day. I usually end up eating because I see other people eating.
Having the power to tell yourself "Out of all the things I can and can't control about what happens today, not eating anything is firmly in my exclusive control." Is one of the most powerful feelings that reorients my brain for more possibilities in my life. Definitely worth training that skill.
I love it. That's a powerful perspective.
