This may be a better compromise and it may help me avoid binge eating from now until then.......
If you feel you are punishing yourself, I agree, you should not fast. Remember the benefits I listed:
a. it calms me down
b. it is a distraction from food onto other areas of interest, because food is out of the equation for those hours.
