Day 2: Not complete failure but some success
Healthy eating and exercise may be what I need with sporadic fasting whenever I can make it

After not seeing my boyfriend for a week I gave in to eating a nice big meal with him, BUT! There was a bit of progress. Where I would usually use that as an excuse to bindge eat the rest of the night since I had already broken my fast, I only ate normal amounts of food. I have found during the long months of trying to start fasting or at least thinking about it, the danger in getting fatter and binging while trying to get on this program are dangerous. You get into this mindset of wanting to eat as much as you can before a fast because you are going to be starting a fast tomorrow which will last a month, but tomorrow never comes since you always cave on day 1 and so it becomes this crazy binging spree since you are always eating as much as you can for tomorrows fast. So while I did not manage to fast yesterday, it is still my Day 1, day 1 in weight loss and eating like a normal person. Not a fast but a step in the right direction of stopping my overeating. It didn't help that I had just done 1.5 hours of biking right before I met up with him so I was really hungry at the time so when he suggested we eat i didn't put up much of any fight.
Surprisingly, I lost 2.2 pounds yesterday despite eating that big meal. Maybe it was the biking, or maybe it's water loss (I'm just ending TOM), either way I feel motivated to try and start the water fast again today. If I make it and not cave that will be great, but if I continue to lose weight like this with some eating and exercise i'll still be happy :) I plan to bike the same route I did yesterday, or maybe a bit further, and keep up the positive effects.
SW: 57.2 pounds overweight
CW: 55 pounds overweight
I'm still going through some very difficult times with my family and I feel like my life is spinning out of control. I need to get my body into check so i feel like I am accomplishing something at least. Improving my health, looks and spirit is what I desperately need right now.
