Today is day one of December! This is my first time incorporating fasting into my life. I have been struggling with stress eating for quite some time and I currently weigh the heaviest I ever have in my life. I need to make a change. Not only to lose weight, but to just feel better physically and mentally. I hope I can stick to my plan for the entire month of December. I want to kick off the new year being healthier and really work hard on myself all of 2020.

Good luck! You can do this! 
Today is day three of December and I couldn’t even make it to 24 hours of my planned water fast. It is so much harder than I imagined and the fact that I had been eating so much sugary crap food for so long is probably why I felt so horribly. It wasn’t that I was hungry, I just didn’t feel good at all. Very shaky, light headed, fatigued, and couldn’t think straight. I guess the idea of jumping right into a water fast so quickly was unrealistic. I think I need to start more slowly by changing my eating habits and working on daily intermittent fasting before I go right into a straight water fast…feeling discouraged…
Don’t beat yourself up about it, it’s a learning process and most people fail soooo many times before they complete their goals!
There’s always a new day with another opportunity! 
When I began my journey back on August 9th earlier this year that was the 1st thing I tackled. My carb/sugar addiction. I did that by completing a 14-day Potato Diet: boiled potatoes and water. I liked it because I could eat that I wanted and no counting calories. At the end, it made transitioning into Time Restricted Eating, OMAD and then into Prolonged Fasting a breeze.
