Fasting

NAS71232

 I usually fast for 23.5 hours a day and eat one meal a day within 30 minutes at 2pm that's less than 1.5K calories. Tomorrow I'm planning my first 3 day fast. I walk 12 miles a day. I measure it with my Health app. I don't feel right unless I'm fasting and in a calorific deficit. The 12 mile walk give me an additional 1K calorific deficit. This week I did a 52 hour fast.

My mother wants to seek private autism assessment for me. She said my condition is worsening the older I get.

I can't live with her anymore. It's not fair on her and I don't talk to my relatives (long story). I'm not offensive and friendly. People take advantage of my good nature, I do as she asks, but she is disabled. I'm too neurodivergent to socialise with anyone. I want to stop taking sertraline and move into my own flat. I need to be on my own. I just want to keep my kitten.

Fasting is keeping my head clear, but it makes me very weak. After 36 hours of fasting, I can measure myself on the scale and notice a weight drop every few hours, but it makes me feel cleansed. I've seen people on YouTube fasting for 7 to 14 days. Some do a month on only water.

I'm thin, but have some stomach fat. I have advanced diverticulitis, so that might be why my stomach looks abnormal. I had a colonoscopy and they were shocked during the procedure. She said she had only seen diverticulitis that advanced in 90 year old patients.

I just want to eat fruit and unsweetened soya milk in my 30 minute eating window.

  • Thanks for the replies. I've never looked into FODMAP.

    UC is a bit of a honey trap. PIP isn't means tested, and if you keep the focus on what you can't do during the assessment, you'll get something. 

    I'm surprised that Specialisterne aren't in Britain. They have a branch in Northern Ireland, and the Irish State, and try to focus on developing both Social and Employability skills. 

    I find that mothers, especially at a certain age, expect their Autistic Son to be held under lock and key. They use their own trauma and grief as weapons to hold the lad to ransom. My Gran was like that to my brother and I, and the closest woman I had to a partner tried to do the same; to me.

    Apologies for the soapboxing, I am a bit frustrated today.
