21 - Water Fast Journey Lilly

[Compdude]

From reading all of your recent entries, I’d suggest you do Keto and I.F. During your move. You are undergoing a lot of stress right now. When Anna and I did our prolonged fasts we both prepared for it by eliminating stress factors from our daily lives. Anna moved and shifted her life so she spent most of her time in isolated in her new place where she controlled everything. I dropped most of my clients to minimize stress and I also work from home.

Don’t obsess over 1 failure. Learn from it and move on. Tomorrow’s a brand new day and a new start.

[Lilly]

My only stress atm is that I’m looking for an apartment online all the time. I‘ll start moving around April/may and this is the time when I finally wanted to be done with the weight loss. I actually have pretty good situation (expect my mental state) to fast. I don’t have to work, and I’m basically home and can relax all day

[Lilly]

And I know IF would be good but I don’t wanna start eating/cooking healthy again. I’ve been at this place for too long and all I want is to stick to this fast; and loose this weight asap. I know this is not the best way to do so but I just wanna get it off my body. Tomorrow is a new first day and I’ll try for the 100000x time again…

[Lilly]

It’s so surreal I’ve been at h the is awful place for months and years and I could change everything in literally 21 DAYS. That’s nothing compared to the days I’ve spent crying over my situation and life.
If I could just push trough every single day​:sob:

How tall are you @Lilly? 50 kg is 110 lbs, which is not a lot of weight for most. Losing 10 kg would put you at 88 lbs. Maybe your body is resisting your effort to lose weight?

I’d check a height weight chart to make sure.

[Lilly]

I’m was at lw before and I felt amazing! I’m only 5’3 , I know this weight is totally good for me but I’m just really skinny fat. Like from the outside probably no one would tell me to loose weight but there is definitely some fat that needs to go

[Lilly]

But I do not put enough effort to loose this weight. I know I could WHEN I would stop eating bullshit every second day. That’s the point

[Lilly]

Sorry for spamming this much but I just need to get this all of my chest. I wish there was someone in my real life who would listen to all this, but I have no one to talk about this. And talking to myself just drives me more insane

[Kittens3523]

I’m 5’3" too. Your weight now is my target goal! You must be even smaller boned than me!

Here’s a height weight calculator you could use to make sure.

It says I should weight more but that’s not exactly true .
But thanks for taking the time and listening to all my worries​:white_heart:

[Lilly]

Maybe I could open up to my mom about everything. But she would probably won’t relate to ist maybe she could still support me

[Lilly]

Thanks for everything who took their time to read through this and respond. This is exactly what I needed and gave me some hope again!

I’m planning on fasting until Sunday and then join the group fast!

[Lilly]

Bad news! I look like a pregnant women atm but probably didn’t gain weight (expect huge amount of water weight)

Good news! My mom is going to support me because she wants only the best for me. Thats exactly what I needed to make this fast!!! Grateful for her help!

[Lilly]

Actually I have an amazing idea. Since I’m also doing this fast for my mind and soul I thought about doing a social media detox as well. So I got thee idea that I’ll give my mom my laptop and phone until I’m done with fasting. Of course my goals should keep me accountable but I totally wanna get my phone back after 21 days hahah. So it’s good for me to have some sort of pressure and help. I’ll talk with her about that tomorrow and then hopefully start! So if all goes right I’ll fast until the 22th March ( so in total 25days)
And then I’ll be coming back here and telling you all that I did and finally lost those 10kg!!!

[Kittens3523]

Great idea, go for it!

[Lilly]

Honestly I think this will be the key for success. I’m still young and growing my willpower, and I truly wanna do this but I definitely have to say that I need some help like this.

[Lilly]

Hi!
I’m feeling a lot better today mentally! I figured out a really good plan to finally have a successful fast with the help and support of my mother! Thats truly what I need to succeed!

I’ll talk with her later and then start my 21 fast on the first march, so I won’t be online up until the 21th!
Until Sunday I’ll have just some light and healthy foods which I enjoy!

I just had some oatmeal, later I’ll go for a walk outside and maybe make some light quinoa, veggie and tofu stir fry for dinner. I know it’s going to be a lot easier to fast If I’ll handle my eating and IF up until Sunday.

Oatmeal cooked in water and tiny splash of soy milk, fresh fruit and sunflower seeds on top for some extra protein. So good and I felt very satisfied afterwards!

[Lilly]

So far so good! I’m working on a project atm I was a busy the entire time. It’s raining the entire day, so I ordered some food to my house.

Vegan Red Curry with Tempeh
(Soo good!)

[Compdude]

I wish you the best of luck. Let me know how I can support you.

[Lilly]

Honestly thank you so much for your support! Talking just helps me and I have to realize that I can be strong and find my way.
Tomorrow I’ll eat a bit less, and Saturday maybe only broth and then I’m first of all saying goodbye to my social media. I know I will make this 21 fast this time and I‘m so excited to tell you all how it went for me afterwards!
