Nervous about rebound effects of long term fasting

Hello, the longest fast I’ve done is 7 days, only water. I felt amazing the 7th day! So much of this is purely psychological. I want to do it again but I’m worried about cortisol levels. I have about 80 lbs to lose. I want to do this a healthy way. Any suggestions? Will this affect my metabolism and hormones? I’m female

Anyone seen the meter maids lately?

Not sure if they’re still handing out yellow tickets like candy or not. Or if the local magistrate realized that doing this is bad for business.

Petition request for Christian counselor in a secular work environment

Christ is a wonderful counselor. I try to emulate that in my work. My work is mostly okay with using my faith in my practice but it depends on the person getting counseled. Most of my counselees are open to spiritual conversations but some are not and sometimes I get persecuted when I make a mistake and misread my client (not too common but it happens). Not sure if the Lord is calling me to persevere here (the director is a supportive Christian) because the impact I do make with receptive clients is miraculous to see (happens daily!) but some of my colleagues are not and work against me. Perhaps be a biblical counselor in more of a church environment (could be better..or worse too?).
