A journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. My advice to you is that if you want to fast, start by fasting only on Fridays. If it is difficult for you to fast every Friday, then fast every other Friday. Well, when you master that, then fast on Wednesday with the same method. In this way, you will manage to master the discipline slowly and effortlessly.
Thank you so much for the advice. That's exactly what you said, I struggle with the discipline to introduce those fasting days during the week in between the non-fasting days. So that is 100% true. Plus, I often don't even know which day it is 😁 because my days are not, how should I say, structured in the same routine way, and then I sometimes genuinely don't know if it's Wednesday, Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. So that's probably part of the reason as well.
I've heard from many people who have, let's say, a similar issue as I do, that it's not a problem for them to fast for one specific period of time, sometimes even two months in a row, but the challenge is this one day like this, one day like that. So sometimes that can actually feel like a bigger task than a longer, continuous fasting period.
