So I'm back again here struggling on starting a new
prolonged Water Fast, ideally I
would like to do a 14-Day Water Fast. The reason I am aiming to this number is
because I think I will need at least 2
weeks to lose all the fat I gained back after my last fast done before my trip
to Italy.
I gained all back,
I'm not over 60 Kg yet but I can see from my body that whatever I have on is
just fat, since I'm not going to the
gym in a while I have no muscles anymore. I went for a run 3/4 times in the morning, when I was in Italy, but just for 20/30
minutes….better than nothing sure but not enough to build muscles. I might need
to go back on my gym regiment or these Fasts are going to break down all my
left over shapes!
I gained my pounds back because of the amount of stress I'm getting at work; seriously
this job is killing me inside and out. I'm desperately trying to change but it's
not easy to find a good job. Before leaving for my vacation I was very
motivated, I had found a great company that asked me to come multiple times for interviews, giving me great feedbacks. This gave me great motivation also to keep on going with
my Water Fast, until the last few
days before my trip, when they decided not to pursue my candidature for the
role, that was very disappointing since I kind of pictured
myself already leaving this hell
where I'm in every day!
This is the first
time in my life where I don't want to wake up in the morning knowing that I
have to come to work. I think nobody
should ever feel in this way for a job….this is not a happy place. The way I feel every day is affecting my behaviour
towards my entire life, my
relationship with food and also my relationship with others. I feel depressed, very often I would like just
to go home and cry. I don't have anyone I can talk to and that understands my situation. I told
everything to a couple of friends but I realized that after talking few times
they are tired to listen to my complaints; which is totally understandable,
I've been dealing with these struggles
since 6 months now, anyone would get
bored to listen to me, myself included…!
In the mornings I have strong anxiety, the Water Fast
usually helps me a lot with my anxiety, but it takes at least 5/7 Days to
really start to feel the benefits of
the Fast, and the first days are
normally the toughest one. I started
last Thursday fasting then after 3 days
of being diligent I gave up on some food at a local pizzeria with my boyfriend.
I was definitely hungry but being in company and going out didn't help my
discipline.
It takes so little
to gain weight back, I spent yesterday eating and today I had a huge lunch, although skipped breakfast
and planning on starting a real Fast. I want to be successful this time, I know the level of stress is high but eating and gaining weight makes me only more miserable and it gets my mind so foggy. Being on a lower weight helps a
lot my mood, my self-esteem, my anxiety,
I can control my food better because I'm more motivated, even my gym routine improves.
I want to try to start an IF regiment once I get
to the desired weight, I'm thinking
that even just 56Kg as a start would
be perfect,
and then anything less can be achieved with IF or the gym. But first
I need to get rid of this fat I have accumulated
to my belly. I'm wondering if even the stress can be a reason why I'm often bloated…I don't know. I just
hope to find the strengths on keep
on going with my Water Fast. Wish me luck!
