The things you want are always possible; it is just that the way to get them is not always apparent. The only real obstacle in your path to a fulfilling life is you, and that can be a considerable obstacle because you carry the baggage of insecurities and past experience.” Les Brown quotes (American Author, Entrepreneur and motivational speaker)

I noticed how insecurities are a problem when I try to do anything, even when it comes to fasting. It is very handicapping.

I am insecure because of my eczema and the few extra pounds I put on during my sickness. It makes me try to overdo everything in order to obtain the ideal result, often working against me. Like if I am trying to focus on my weight, I over-think it that negatigve thoughts slowly conquer my mind and I drive myself to sabotage myself by binging junk. This is one of the main causes of my bulimia and poor health. Insecurities.

I have always I am imperfect and with flawed health, it makes me feel inferior. I understand such self-doubt and negative self-talk is unhelpful, but I tell myself I am going through a process. Fasting is a process, but what is bigger than fasting, it is time for mind therapy. Nasty things get thrown up. Confront them bravely. Don't shy away.

I can have everything I want. I know that. I have all I need to get very far and I must learn to take hold of that inner confidence and fight whatever deep-set insecurities I have. If other people can have a great bill of health and take life with a "let's rock it" attitude, then so can I!

Here is to my fast. Cheers. Keep on going.
