Starting my 7 day fast tonight at 6:30 pm. I have been on this journey for about 2 months.
I want to get healthy and grow new stem cells and neurons. I want to age gracefully. I don’t want to be obese anymore. I want to have a healthy relationship with food.
*** Long term goal**: have more energy be at 150 or near that.
*Short term goal: get into mid 180’s. Start taking evening walks.

*My Longest fast has been 5 days. In the beginning it was easy. Day 3 was difficult. I feel I need to keep my mind occupied and find something to do to keep busy around meal times. Maybe say some affirmations out loud at that time.
*Game plan is a 7 Day water fast and then Keto with IF every other day.
*I miss eating when I am fasting. I use food as my go to comfort. I am a recovering alcoholic and am realizing my relationship with food is like what I had with alcohol. That is scary for me.
*How I visualize myself after achieving my goal: lighter, able to move more easily. Feel good about how I feel and look. Energized.
*My Daily Affirmations:
I am determined, I am strong, I am capable of achieving greatness and my goals. I am kind to myself. I will rely on God to strengthen me.
