Why?
I began a 21 day water fast last month. I was going strong and I was confident I would finish, but then my family suffered a very sudden loss. I tried to continue my fast but 2 days after the accident my energy was low, I felt sick, and I simply needed to be there for my family and myself. I completed 14 days, and had a couple days of good refeed, but I fell into a binge eating cycle, and I’m ready to break that now. Sometimes things we can’t control happen but I’m ready to get back on the horse and try again.
Long and Short Term Goals
My short term goal is to complete this fast, and get back on track to the body and health I deserve. My long term goal is to maintain my goal weight, beat my food addiction and binge eating, and maintain a OMAD or ADF for a period of time.
Struggles
Obviously a recent struggle has been dealing with some grief, but beyond that I’ve struggled with my relationship with food and my body for years. I previously made a journal topic for my 21 day fast, if you’re interested in my story I go more in depth there, I also detailed how I physically felt for 12 days if you’re interested in that.
Game plan
I’m going to complete this fast and then either do OMAD or ADF for a while depending on how I feel, my weight, and just generally how the fast affects me.
How I feel right now
I’m nervous, I struggle with binge eating but I’m also excited because I’ve done it before, so I know I can do it again.
How will I feel when I achieve my goal?
I know I will feel amazing. Towards the end of my last fast I was so close and I will get there again.
Daily Affirmation
I’ve done it once, I can do it again. I am strong and driven and I will do this.
