Watch this lady starve 123 days for the "glory" of God
This lady does 3 consecutive 40-odd day fasts, beginning only 6 weeks after a pregnancy, with breaks of a week or less timed to coincide with Jewish holidays. She even observes the dietary restrictions that come with those occasions. She has an infant, 6 kids, and a manic pinball husband (see below) to feed and look after while starving.

She's Jewish, but man oh man, does she talk like a Protestant fundie. Glorifying and stroking God, nattering on about her 24/7 chats with Him. These videos were made to inspire others to commit similar extreme religious stunts. Unfortunately for her, YouTubers are having none of it.

Before the fast. Weight:199lb

After the 1st fast. Weight:149lb

Here's her hubby. He's a living cartoon with a remedy for opiate withdrawal that involves eating 300 over-the-counter pills:

2. Ok, she definitely needed to lose some weight at 199
But did she need to become a skeleton? That's insane.

8. "The husband seems a bit off too" LOL!
Did you watch his entire 3 part video about opiate withdrawals? He is beyond nutty? At one point he begins arguing with himself! LOL!!!

6. Her "fasts" must be quite modified
because a 40 day total fast except for water will kill you. A fast that avoids water will kill you in 5 days, maximum, when your kidneys shut down and you drown in your own waste.

I have a feeling she's doing a Ramadan fast: nothing during daylight and a pigout once the sun goes down.

She's nuts and self destructive if that last picture is any indication. She needs an arse full of antipsychotics and careful monitoring.

She'll be dead within the year if that doesn't happen.
