“Intro.”
Hi, my name is Kea. I am currently 57 kg(126lb) at 1,47 m(4’8) so I’m practically overweight. I have never had any eating disorder, but I usually have days of eating weirdly too much then days of even forgetting to eat. Over the years I have progressively gained weight and my highest was this year at 64 kg(141lb), I have already lost 7 kg(15lb) through previous short water fasting that I did.
“Why?”
I do not have any health issues, so I am doing this to gain confidence, I want to be able to wear anything I want and feel great in it. I’m in South Africa so it will be hot from now all the way to January, I want to be able to wear shorts, not stay at home all holidays and go swimming with my family or friends, without feeling awkward about my thighs.
“Short term and long term goals.”
Short term goal is to reach 50 kg(110lb) by end of November and long term, is really to get more fit, I’d dream of getting abs, I fear it’s just a dream but I hope to achieve it. And I want to maintain my weight from there on
“Struggles I’ve faced.”
I also don’t go out as often, even with my family, when shopping it’s really hard to find clothes that fit the way I want them to. I’m always in jeans or long pants, which makes me feel boring. I want to wear skirts and dresses and shorts. Something different and feel exciting.
“My game plan.”
I’m doing a 5-7 days water fast challenge, started on the 27th October, I’m not sure yet as to how I’m going to refeed. But I will search for something that will be healthy, sustainable, affordable, realistic and I can stick to all the time.
“How do I feel?”
I don’t feel great, I feel just fine. I will need to remind myself everyday of my goal because I feel I didn’t get a great start. But I’m in this to win it
“How will I feel once I’ve reach my goal?”
Ecstatic, joyful, strong!! I will believe in myself more and trust that anything I start, I can definitely finish!!
“Daily affirmation”
I am beautiful, I am strong, I can do anything if I set my mind to it. I will reach my goal no matter what. I got this!!
Now you’re off to a great start so do your best from here and forget the rest!
