I did my first 48 fast and broke it last night. I felt pretty awesome all day, especially after I hit 36. I also hit 239lbs yesterday morning which was the first time I have broke 240lbs since I was on active duty, so that was cool. I'll probably transition to a 16/8 routine again until I decide on doing another 48+ fast, maybe I start it after the Super Bowl and shoot for a 60-72 or so.
Glad you've found something that's helping you lose weight and makes you feel better. You're on a path which can reward you with pride and better life. It's honestly a rarity to find people willing to do it themselves. Continue your path and soon you'll look back with pride of your accomplishments.
Got a coworker who eats like sheet and drinks so much he's type 2 now and only mid 30's. He's watched my 80# loss and resulting health. I've explained it over and over.
His solution? One of those new shots. He is miserable, but rather than take responsibility for his health he is content to use medicine which makes him feel terrible and prone to emergency bathroom trips and limits lunch options cuz he can't handle food.
Won't even consider giving up booze for a few months to get under control.
