So I’m a little late starting. It’s been just under 2 hours since I’ve started my fast.
I feel disgusted with myself for allowing my weight to get out of control.
I am 5’6 and 222lbs.
My goal weight is 145.
I just had my second baby 8 months ago and I want to be a much healthier version of myself, not only for myself, but for my children.
I hope I can make it to 14 days.

Shan, how is your fast going so far? Try not to be disgusted with yourself… it only drives negative feelings. You should be proud you have taken the first few steps on your journey.
The initial day 1 of my fast I went the whole day then convinced myself at the end of the day that I wanted to wait and start Nov 1 and gave in to breaking my fast. At first, I was completely “happy” with my decision, but after a few hours I felt disappointed, let down by my actions, frustrated, and feeling so so sad. After that I told myself it didn’t matter, I was going to restart. NOW, What I have decided for my fast, is that I am doing 21 days no matter what. If I fall off the wagon for any reason, I am going to dust myself off, get right back on the wagon, and finish my journey strong. I may finish my 21 days. I may be a little bumped, bruised, or scraped up at the end, but I am crossing the finish line no matter what! If you are doing a longer fast, I hope you will adopt a similar mantra and do this with me!
You are strong, you are capable. You are not alone, and you have a whole community and myself here to support you! You can do this!
