I'm a 31 year old female.I began this fast in the intention to cleanse and purify my body, and for weight loss. I fast once a year from 3 days to 2 weeks depending on my health at the time. In the past I've been overall healthy other than bad food choices that led to weight gain, and smoking. In 2008 I was hospitalized for pulmonary embolism. It took three months before I actually felt somewhat better. The lack of ability to breath normally put in into a depression, and from lack of exercise, and anxiety that I was experiencing. Over the past 4 months I've been comforting myself with food. I was on blood thinners for 6 months and just recently stopped taking them. I feel the most unhealthy I ever have in my live physically and mentally.On the plus side I have successfully quit smoking. I really do not want to smoking anymore, in fact i detest the smell. From lack of exercise and from quitting smoking, and satisfying the addiction with food, I have gained a substantial amount of weight and I am in need of a new beginning to start a healthy diet. What would be the perfect thing, I asked myself. A fast, which could not come at a better time, after the holidays and at the beginning of a new year. I have fasted in the past and was always a great starting point to kick start a healthier diet plan that I made for myself. I found I go through cycles of extreme willing to change my food choices and exercise more, then over a few months I go to uninterested and begin eating badly again, and as soon as I take notice of my overall feeling getting depressed I fast. I always look forward to the positive effects of fasting. The negative are really not so bad compared to what I have gone through before. Also, I know in the end I will feel 100 times better. I am very much looking forward to the healthy food that I will choice instead of the grease, fat, and sugar that I had been eating. So it begins. I choice to start the fast the morning of the first. So my last meal was Dec 31, 2008.
