Day I 16 y
Getting back to what is important
I feel like I am at the point where a fast is my only option right now. I have done a number of 5 day fasts thru out the last year but never made it past day 5. Well that is going to change this fast. I have to prove to myself I can do this again. My main aim is to get back the control I had over my life. I sit here today feelign very down. I am not in a good place emotionally at the moment and need to get back the feelings I had of power, control and peace. Food has become an issue with me lately i am eating far too much also far too much alcohol consumption...hence the feelings i am havi ... read more day 5 17 y
broke the fast
i wish i was typing right now how day 5 was great i got thru it no problems but i didnt. i find the weekends terrible hard to fast thru. so friday night i come undone again. but i am feeling really good about the 4 days i completed. i feel lighter and extremely eager to pursure more of the good feelings a long fast gives you. i will go back again on monday and then break next weekend and then see about a longer one. the reality of it is, its actually not easy. so much more mental than physical for me. i do not miss the food or feel hungry i just miss the socialising that comes with eating ... read more day 4 17 y
hot pepper!!!
end of the day and doing fine, went for a nice walk tonight felt good to be out and about. i think i lost my fasting work mate today she rang on her way home from work asking how she should break the fast - i hope she makes the right decision for her. it was nice having someone to joke around with about at work but im still feeling very positive about this and it is my gift to me. my husband has really impressed me he is getting way into the whole cleansing aspect, researching on the net and trying new things. i am really enjoying the master cleanse lemonade however i think i went over boa ... read more Day 3 17 y
slight detox effects
Today I was a little tired - not such a great sleep so feeling the effects of that. also feeling a little detoxy...slightly sore body bits mainly in the back and a slight headach. nothing really too troublesome. not hungry at all or missing food in the slightest yet. still more of the master cleanse lemonade then juice. ran tonight and did not have as much energy. looking forward to things getting better although i cant really complain too much so far. great having my husband on this with me really makes a difference. also great having someone at work on it too. we have funny little BM sto ... read more Day 2 17 y
not such a bad day...so far
slept really well last night which suprised me. today was easy slight headach, funny eyes and a very slight pain in lower back. but nothing too uncomfortable. using oxypowder for laxatives and it is working really good. drinking far more of the master cleanse lemonade than juice, but just going with what works. guess becasue i am at work for most of the day just easier to have lemonade. thinking about moving to a all master cleanse next week will see how i go. looking forward to getting thru this and then over my first hurdle which will be day 5. my husband is on the fast with me and so is ... read more day 1 17 y
here i come juicer!
here i go again trying to do this fasting thing but this time i am super committed. i find day 1 easy, day 2 not so bad, day 3 i start to get bored and by day 5 i give in. so i am making a pact to get to day 7 and go from there. looking forward to these days going quickly so i can get to that feeling of reaching my goal. really aiming for 10 days. visit the page really need to refocus 17 y
gosh this is tricky
im such a silly person when it comes to my weight. i havent gained 15 pounds i finally got up the nerve to jump on scales and im at 141 which really is not too bad. 135 is where i need to be. i loved the way i felt when i was low 130’s but i had to work really hard and i mean really hard to maintain that. maybe thats too much pressure to put on myself for long term goals. my husband actually said to me he thought i got too thin....so maybe this weight is more realistic to me. just need to increase the exercise adn i am doing that.
thanks to katiemarie and her wonderful kind words i am r ... read more wieght is returning 17 y
bugga!
im feelign rather depressed i have gained 15 pounds, ive gone up at least one clothing size close to two. after so many months of being so thin it is really hard for me to love myself when i look and feel like this. i have to get back on track. i am over eating over drinking and underexercising. i know what i need to do but for some reason i am just not doing it.
i want to be able to be a healthy weight for life not just a year. i still am within a healthy range but i just feel really lumpy and soft. i much prefer the tight lean feeling i had only a few months ago.
ok plan is to reclaim ... read more Day 2 17 y
mmmmm....
trying again...i really feel like this is something i have to do to prove to myself i can do it but once again i really dont want to do it! so frustrating i wish i could get back all that motivation i had last year..well really up until a month ago i was still really motivated to look after myself. i have felt things slip lately and want to resurrect my power over food. starting to exercise again after 4 months off due to knee surgery so im hoping this will help with my motivation. weight is at 140 today. visit the page day 4 of 4 17 y
short fast in the end
decided this morning today was it. i think im going for a number of 3 day fasts. its a bit flaky and i feel like i really didnt give it much of a go..but im not feeling like a failure. next week will do 3 days, 3 the next none the next and then a 10 day one. or something like that. weight today is 135pd still have 3 to go but not too worried. work myself up to another 30 somewhere before this year is ended. visit the page day 3 of ???? 17 y
mmmm a little over it already!
today was ok i felt fine physically, a little tired due to another bad night of sleeping. hopefully tonight will be better. bm’s today were a little too much so not taking oxypowder tonight. for those of you who have trouble with elimination during fasts i cannot speak highly enough of oxypowder. althought you have to find the right dose for you. i guess i am pretty clean from all my fasting last year and i really dont need to take too much of it and im on the toilet all day. so i will take it in smaller doses and every second night now.
felt like giving in around 5 pm today but made it ... read more day 2 of ??? 17 y
cruising along
second day and still no major problems, slight headache dry taste in mouth - due to not drinking enough water. sleeping pattern is weird lately due to recent flight back to australia and not adapting properly back to time zone so i hope i can cure this in next day or so. cannot handle veggie juice so only juicing oranges and pineapples at this stage. this may prove my undoing but seriously just cant even come close to getting veg down. supplementing with master cleanse lemonade if i need to. using oxypowder so bm’s are on track. not really hungry just miss chewing and eating some foods. on ... read more day 1 of ???? 17 y
back on thejuice
first day of juicing today and it hasnt being too bad. just not sure i am totally committed to it but really want to get thru at least 5 days and then go from there. my aim is to get back to my healthy eating habits. i haven’t gone completely nuts or anything but i am definately eating too much food and i want to nip this in the bud. also need some time off alcohol. i feel a need to clean out my intestines. but another thing is i have a major life decision to make and i know juicing gives me clarity, so i want to make this decision without all the emotional stress. i have put on a few poun ... read more feelign very frustrated 18 y
yes very abstract
not sure what life holds and usually that is somehting i relish in but today and lately i am really unsure of how i feel where im giong and what i am doing. many things are effecting my way of thinking and i know some i can control but others im just not sure.... but if i truly want control over my life i have to control all aspects and be in charge......mmm caught between free spirit going with the flow living life in the moment and being assertive, focused and centered are these things mutually exclusive??? or is that just my makeup forever confused and searching yet wonderfully happy an ... read more short fast 18 y
update on my short fast
juiced last week for four days which was suprisingly easy i thought i would have major detox etc but it was a mild feeling of tiredness and a few sore body bits but not much else. i know it was only 4 days but it felt good to do and has made me want to do longer but its just not the right time for me. so i will continue to do a few short fasts. one of the main reasons i fasted was i felt food was becoming too big of a deal again. just consuming too much still really healthy food but too much of it. so i wanted to go back on my holiday away from food, that is how i look at fasting. i have l ... read more im back from down under 18 y
just letting those who want to know how im going
hi all im back from my two months down under. had an absolute blast. just checking in to let those who want to know how i am doing. basically i drank alcohol and partied for 8 weeks straight. hard not to do when you are constantly catching up with wonderful family and very good friends. however i did manage to keep my exercise routine, i didnt miss many days at most 1/2 days a week. it was great to run and walk in such natural beauty really wonderful for the soul. i actually ended up increasing my run so now i can run 10km (sorry not sure of mileage) and i am seriously considering training ... read more last post for a while 18 y
