Hey, rant out.
The world is dumb and crazy.
Why do you feel that way?
I explain why in the post I made just before this one.
Thank you. I feel so sad right now. And bad that I feel sad. I want to be a happy positive force. A light worker like people in my family. But I’m just a disappointment and I stink.
Oh, I see. I’ve been doing OMAD for 8 years or so and also like fasting for longer periods occasionally, but your relationship with fasting does not sound healthy to me because you’re ending up somewhere you don’t want to be.
Dry fasting can be dangerous and you are not a freak for breaking a fast; we call it breakfast for a reason and I’m not being glib.
Your reasons for fasting sound externally empathetic at the expense of your own health, but a better balance for yourself could help.
It’s okay to eat and it’s okay to buy things you don’t need sometimes.
We’re all learning, I don’t see any reason for you to be upset with yourself, it doesn’t sound like you did anything wrong, but it’s perfectly okay to be upset. You don’t sound like a disappointment or a stinker!
Money can be earned again. Treat it as a learning experience. We all do things we regret later. Don’t stress over it, just assure yourself that you’ve got the lesson and it’s going to make you a better person because you’re wiser now
Oof, girl. (?)
While I’m not a doctor, I’d expect that 60 hours of fasting would have as great an effect on your brain as several alcoholic drinks. Of course you’d be struggling with impulse control afterwards!
It’s a huge accomplishment to just say “wow, I did something I don’t like having done and don’t want to do it.” I’d still have an older brother if fully grown adults were universally capable of saying “I should stop this” and then doing just that.
From your last several posts I’d guess that you’re trying a ketogrnic diet / intermittent fasting for weight loss reasons. If so, remember that the length of a fast or time-on-diet doesn’t matter nearly as much as your weekly caloric net. Maybe plan for how you want your fast to end, so you’re not figuring out something with a glucose-starved brain?
Whatever the case, you seem brave and strong and are definitely worth this. A setback isn’t a failure, just a discovery of some way that doesn’t quite work. :)
What do you need?
You matter and you’re valuable, no matter what crap happens
If it’s true that your relationship with food isn’t the greatest, I also suggest seeking professional help, if that’s an option right now. In Germany there are assisted living facilities for women with debilitating eating disorders that the state pays for. And some of them are actually really good. I’d think if you’re in the UK, they probably exist there as well, if walk-in therapy isn’t enough.
Truly, wish you well.

Just learn from your mistakes and move forward. There’s no other way.
