Fasting til Feb 20th-Daily accountability journal

[Mfaster]

Hi guys so I’m on my merry way to the longest fast that I ever have done. The furthest I ever got was 9 days almost 10! I pretty much have a date in mind for a handful of reasons but I also think that overall it will the most beneficial.

So it’s 12:16 am and it’s my day one!
My weigh in is 193 ( I think ) I’ll have to recheck it in a few hours. Last I checked I was 193 at 8am yesterday morning. Anyways I would like to do this because I remember the feeling on the 9 day fast I felt so amazing.
I recently lost 56 lbs and I gained back smh I choose to just move forward with this and I am hopeful I will come out better at the end of it all. Anyways here it goes!!!

7:21 okay so it’s not the middle of the dang morning anymore lol. I feel okay but again it’s only 7:21, I know my first 5 days the last time we’re rough so I’m expecting it to be again this time. I don’t remember what I weighed then, oooo wait I was 212 and went down 14 lbs leaving me at 198. I weighed back in just now and I am 88.2 kilos=194.4 lbs. I weigh in kilos because it’s a nicer number. I also do it because my kids are always stealing my scale batteries for the remote controllers to their consoles, so my scale resets to kilos each time I put in new batteries. Anyways for the last week I had been have the WORSE symptoms of GERD so I’m hoping that clears right up during my fast.

I recently hung out with family, and my husband and I both had put on a good 30lbs within the last few months. Anyways it was his family and everyone was hanging out but there was a split section when his cousin whispered to our brother in law “ he got fat huh” speaking about my husband. It really hurt me I didn’t tell my husband because already feeling insecure anyways this i guess is a bit of my WHY. I want to show everyone we can come back up, also the brother of that cousin passed away last year his last words I remember were speaking of weight loss, at the time I was 220. He said loose it for you, loose it because you love yourself” after his passing I took that to the heart and got down from 220 to 162!

I want to go forward not backwards, this year his brother said this whisper and it’s ironic how now I’m going this time try and set him straight. Idk this is only apart of the why. Besides that I’m done being fat, my mother in law lives w us and she is sadly morbidly obese she can hardly walk and I see this and I don’t want that for me. I don’t want to be able to not walk I want to go out and enjoy life with my kids. Once I get to 180lbs that’s where I start getting back to my negative thinking about myself and that’s how it recently started. My husband is a big eater as well and well, he likes to cook to lol. Anyways I’m doing this. I’m spending my day rewatching the old show called parenthood for this week I plan on it at least. Then next week I’m going to sit and rewatch dexter.

I’ll leave my reply tomorrow to fill everyone in on my day and how it went. Has anyone else taken a weight loss pill during your fast? I had one I was taking but I’m not going to take it during this fast. I will take a multivitamin maybe or see I have pcos but I’m just wondering if I don’t take anything how it would go. For my 9 day fast the time I didn’t take anything. I did however drink Gatorade zero and had bone broth through the day. I found when I fast my body gets sick on just the water like really really sick so I guess this is a fast won’t say official water fast, but to each their own and for this journey I’m excited. Okay adios for now

Good morning,

So I woke up earlier than yesterday so that’s a good thing. The sounds of rain hitting my window woke me up isn’t that so beautiful . Anyways I am on day two of this fast journey, I have to admit I caved yesterday I lasted til 1, so reset today I figured I haven’t prepared for this fast properly lol and just dove in so I’m gonna cut myself some slack. If I were to choose put myself down I would give up all together. I’m not Im gonna try and go further than yesterday and just keep it pushin it’s all I can do. Anyways so glad to see I have someone on my team. I am not perfect and the struggle is real okay lol but I’m trying. I had bought skates I wanted to try and ride them but it’s so funny they arrived and I tried them on. I use to rollerblade as a kid and thought skating would be much different geez! These are cute as heck but heavy asf! Lol pray for me lol. It’s raining out here today so no skating and kids are off for one day due to covid so maybe sometime this week I’ll go bust my ass at the park haha.

here’s to another day, a new hope and not giving up on myself I can do this! WE CAN DO THIS ! I tried to post my skates hopefully It shows up. K T-T-Y-L
