Hello,
I will be joining the water fast challenge on October 27th!. My short term goal is to get under 200lbs before christmas and gain some mental clarity. I currently weigh 225lbs. My long term goal will be to lose 70lbs total. I will take it one day at a time and really hoping to fast for 21 days. I lost over 60lbs 2 years ago just eating clean and working out, but I gained it all back after my pregnancy in 2018. I was so happy and outgoing during that time. I just want to feel that way again.
I decided that I would go on this journey for weight loss and mental clarity. I have tried almost everything and nothing has helped me to regain happiness and start living my life again. I really hope this works for me mentally and physically. This past year I went through some tough challenges that almost broke me down but I continued to fight and here I am. In april 2018, I went into labor at 39 weeks and my daughter was born stillborn because of gestational diabetes due to my weight. This was very traumatic for me and I’m still struggling with it. 2 months later, My fiance at the time left me for another woman while I was still grieving the loss of our daughter. I suffered two traumatic losses back to back and I never thought I would be able to heal from something so traumatic. I am slowly healing but I am still not truly happy with myself. I would like to lose some weight and start meditating daily. I want a new start at my life. I need to do this so bad. I plan to fast for 21 days, taking it one day at a time and maintain my weight loss through the keto lifestyle. I am hoping to walk into the new year as a brand new person mind, body, and spirit with my head high.
Im really excited to be apart of this experience. I truly believe that the support and positivity from others will definitely be the push that most of us need to succeed in this challenge. I truly wish everyone the best on their journey. We can do this
