Hi everyone, like most people I am sick of being unhealthy. 2 years ago I was at very 11stone and very happy. Right now im 17.5 and very much detached from happyness, nolonger out clubbing every week, hate goin out, my hairs over grown but too shy to see my hair dresser to cut it..Its like my entire life is on hold! Well in 41 days its term 1 on the masters course I am registered on. I will not be able to cope with this if I dont take action immeadiatly. I have no choice but do something to reverse my missery significantly in the next 41 days.

My diet has be mono-nuitrious. I am eating healthy foods but just addicted to suger so after a healthy meal i end up having a very sweet dessert. its the binges on crips and cholate 4-5 days a week in addition to the healthy food thats caused the weightgain. i have also been drining freshly squessed carrot, Celery and apple juice 1-2 a week and lots of coconut water almost every day (non in the last week)

I have added some basil seeds soaked in water to cleanse the bowel in the last week, It hasnt caused diarria but has kept the bowel moving nicly, as these seeds are very fiberous!. I felt it was a safer option than senna tablets and enamas. However all of last night i have had diarria so it concerns me alittle to start a Water Fast today due to the loss of electrolyte this causes (thoe it cant be aloss of alot of electrolytes in one night can it?) anyays to be on the safe side im going to have a light meal tonight and drink 1-2 litres of cocnut water today which i hope will replace any loss caused by last night.

I have 41 days in total to fast if i get started tommorow (tuesday). I will not weight myself, instead i will focus on healing myself, physically, mentally and emotionally. I will go as long as my body allows, i think at my weight 40 days of Water Fasting should not be a problem, but if a deficiency occurs I will switch to celery/carrot juice and coconut water, but complete 40 days on liquid. i am recieving no medical supervision so I will be relying on analysing my symptoms, posting here and recieving feedback from experienced people like chrisb about how im feeling.

Iam hoping that with all the wonderful health beneftis, my fast will also have the side effect of losing 60 plus pounds. I shall not cheat in anyway and will allow this to be a pure and honest experience, giving my body the best chance to heal from self inflicted harm!

I will post most days, usually a rant about how im feeling. it will be the end of the entire process will i weigh myself.
