Marielsy’s weight loss adventure

[Marielsy_Pimentel]

Today is day one of a 70 hour fast followed by a 24 day fast. I have done few day fasts in the past before, but have always given up because I have equaled eating too much food as self care. I’m tired of living for food ! Every emotion warrants junk food, every celebration I reward myself with ice cream and meanwhile I am further and further away from my goals of losing weight, moving more , and being healthier. I want to challenge myself to listen to my body, to treat it kindly, and find other activities that I love that don’t center around food. I want to work on my emotions without needing several ice creams to do so. I am just afraid that something emotionally exhausting will happen and I will turn back to food to help me feel better.

If you fall off the wagon somewhere on your journey, get up, dust yourself off, get back in the wagon and continue to the end of your 21 days, remembering how it made you feel. If you fall again, do the same thing.

Don’t let yourself get in your own way. This is your fast, your journey. While you have other people on the journey with you, myself included, this is YOUR journey for you to decide if you are going to make it through to the finish line.

Think of a race or other event… sometimes it may be about finishing. Doesn’t mean we aren’t a little scraped up and bruised or limping over the final line.

Do this for you! You can do it!
