Maybe I would've been skinny by now if I wasn"t autistic as shit and acc gaf abt what my mom was saying abt me
I want to be able to look at an overweight person and feel relieved that I don't relate to them and wonder how it can get so bad.
I just did my 24 hour fast yesterday and it was so good :0 What works for me is to have dinner nad then wait until dinner the next day because then I already sleep for a good chunk of it and am not rlly a breakfast person. Thus, I easily get to 12 to 14 hours. Then I just went to my classes and stuff and managed to get to 7 PM
I literally can't handle this anymore, I'm going back to my dorm today and I'm literally not gonna eat until I literally can't keep going anymore. I'm so sick of my body and everything going on in my life rn.

Chocolate covered strawberries >>>>
(I count about 30 cals per strawberry)
Keep going until you're excited to weigh yourself
If fasting isn't really your thing but look for advice/tips with dealing with your £d, this is your post.
For reference, I usually aim to eat around 1K cals in a day, because then I can still function. While the urge is there, I try not to give in and get worse. I'm not really strict with myself and eat just about whatever, as long as I stay under my calorie limit.
I usually don't have breakfast (I'm not really a morning person and I don't feel hungry), but if I do, I try to go as low call as possible or make it nutritious. A safe meal is usually a fried egg and half an avocado.
If I had breakfast, I tend to skip lunch. If I didn't and I'm having a break between my classes, I like to have tomato soup, or a sandwich. If I'm still home, I decide between something light/nutritious (like the eggs and avocado) or something bigger.
This is usually my biggest meal of the day, of around 600 cals. Obv the lower the better, but I look at how much I already ate that day. If I didn't have too many calories and also moved, I feel like I earned a bigger dinner and don't feel as self concious. I usually just calculate at how many cals there is in the food and how many I allow myself to still eat that day.
Liquids will be a life saver. Water, coffee, energy drinks, sugar free sodas will help you feel like you're consuming something and give you maybe a few calories that your body can work with and still function.
Sleep. What usually helps me with my fasts is to start my fast after dinner. I usually eat between 6 and 8 PM, so I then feel full and have less the need to snack on things. I go to bed at around midnight and wake up the next day at like 9, so I'm already a solid 12 to 13 hours in. I'm not rlly a breakfast person and only start to get hungry at around noon, and by then I get to 14 to 17 hours.
Keep yourself busy. I noticed it was easier for me to get to my 24h fast in a day where I had 2 classes of 3 hours. By the time I got back to my dorm and my bf and I decided to get dinner, it was close to the time we had dinner the day before.
Remember why you're doing it.
If you'll feel too guilty eating it, don't.
I have a friend who's (naturally?) really skinny and she was telling me abt how she sometimes gets bruises from resting on wooden/metal chairs. I WISH I had that struggle.
