Hi there! My name is Jules, and I have a bad relationship with food. I used to be overweight, and while I am now in a healthy weight category I still struggle with unhealthy eating behaviors such as binge eating and over restricting. I am tired of food having so much control over me and dictating how I feel. I haven’t been doing well lately and have recently gained a bit of the weight back and that was what pushed me to try prolonged fasts.
Why
I am doing this because I want to be able to eat without feeling guilty which leads to binging and starving. I want to have a healthy relationship with food as well as be healthy physically and mentally.
Long Term and Short Term Goals:
Long term goal: To reach 100 lbs and maintain it through a healthy diet and exercise.
Short term goal: Complete a 10 day fast.
What are some struggles you face or you have faced in the past
I have a lot of hatred for my body because of my past. I avoid going to certain events or even having my picture taken because I am so ashamed of what I look like.
What is your game plan?
I have lost 20 pounds with CICO and exercise, but I can’t seem to lose the rest of the weight because of binge eating. I have accomplished a couple 3-5 day fasts before, and have always felt great afterward so I think prolonged fasts will help me reach my goal.
How do I feel right now?
I am excited to try a longer fast, starting at 8 pm on 8/30/2020!
How will I feel once I achieve my goal?
I think I will finally have that feeling of control of myself which will give me the confidence to truly get out there and live my life!
Daily Affirmation
I am in charge of how I feel and look.
