Dee’s waterfasting

[Dee]

My names Dee , I’ve waterfasted before for 3 days I lost 10lbs but now I gained it all back . I was 170lbs before after the 3 day waterfast I was 157lbs but I could never go past that. I tried fasting again but my will power is so weak now . Like I have no power to control my self . And I hate it so much , I hate being fat , I hate looking fat, I hate how I feel about my body . I just feel so unhappy . Every single day I literally tell myself ok I’m not gonna eat today . I’m going to start fasting but you know what , I end up binging , over and over I’m sick and tired of everything . I want to change my body and be happy and feel better about myself . I have the lowest self esteem ever . People like to tell me , I don’t look fat but you know what I am fat . Even my doctor says I’m over weight , it just adds to all my hatred towards my body . Everyone talks about body positivity but the reality is I can’t accept how I look . My lowest weight was 120lb ! That was back in 2011 , like shit ! I felt amazing I felt confident and happy . I was so comfortable in my skin . I wanna feel like that again . I want that confidence back and feeling stress free.

My why ? Well as you can see why I want to lose weight I’m just so damn unhappy . I’m sorry for having to rant but you know what maybe this forum is gonna help me stick to the waterfast. Now that I have written everything down , it’s like I have to stick to it now . Yes I want to get skinnier but I have back pain and hip pain , I started running a few months ago & my hips kills me like it’s sore . I tell my mom she says it’s cause I’m heavy and I’m running for long periods of time . So my joints are gonna hurt . I really want to restart my body and feel better about myself .

Current weight: 160
Goal weight: 125

I have a long way to go wish me luck ! I’m hoping this time I can do it .

When I started my journey back in August 9th, I addressed the #1 reason people break diets and fats, cravings. Being raised by 2 working parents I grew up on a SAD (Standard American Diet) and lived with it for many years. As a result I had a major carb/sugar addiction.

My first 14 days I did the Potato Diet. Boiled potatoes (no condiments) and water. What I liked about it was I could eat as much as I wanted (no hunger) and no counting calories. At the end I was cured of most of my food addictions (still have to be wary of potato chips, LOL) and changed my taste palate so I like vegetables now. It made my transition to Intermittent Fasting, then to OMAD and finally to Prolonged Fasting much easier.

Its day 1 again for my water fasting I ended up binging again, after I had what I had, I thought maybe I can go on about it by OMAD but noooo I thought to myself forget it I’ll start tomorrow and here I am starting all over again today . So i’m going to try again this time/today. Im a stay home mom so its hard to not eat. I work on the weekends so its only 2 days that i’m really busy and not at home. I try to stay busy and not think about food but its just always a fail for me . I have no control what’s so ever . Hopefully today will go well and I make it through the day without any food.

Im the same. Im always home which makes it more difficult not to think about food and start craving the things I love but are not good for me.

I grew up with 2 working parents so I was raised on the SAD (Standard American Diet). Therefore when I began my journey on August 9th I knew I had to address my #1 issue which was a carb/sugar addiction. I started with a 14 day Potato Diet. Boiled potatoes (no condiments) and water. What I liked about it was I could eat as much as I wanted so no hunger and no counting calories.

At the end I broke most of my food addictions (still have to watch myself around potato chips LOL) and now I like the taste of vegetables and other healthy foods I couldn’t stand before. It made my transition into IF and then into OMAD and then into Prolonged Fasting easier.
