I know what you're talking about. Sometimes I don't feel like posting any fasting journals/comments because I'm afraid. You have some self hate issues and perhaps you should be easier on yourself. I am just telling you this because I know from experience. I'm 'fasting' for seven days. It's really a liquid diet of vegetables and one cup of tea every evening till next tuesday. I've already lost five pounds. You can do it. Just have more faith in yourself.

Sorry that you are struggling.

the best advice is to understand why you feel that way.

You say you keep failing.

You only really fail when you give up trying.

What is your goal?
Who is stopping you from getting there.

For me once I figured out it was I myself who keep telling myself I can't do this ...
it was like a light bulb - wait a minute.
Why can't I ?

Of course I can if that is what I choose.
I decide what goes in or doesn't go in my mouth. The drinks the food.
I decide

Focus on the choice not to fail.
Not the negatives every time you start to have those negative thoughts
snap yourself out of it.
refocus on positives and your goal.

Good luck

Well, MY motivation to actually stick with it is that i am tired of failing and giving in. Simply put. I'm tired and saying I'm going to do it, and I never do.. Now look at me. I'mat the end of my Day 3. Which means i have lost about 5.5 lbs.

please just be gentle with yourself. i've been doing fasts and trying to lose weight and always had this GRANDIOSE idea that'll i'll fast and i'll lose 20 pounds, and i'll do yoga and i'll eat like a champion... but what you need to do is be realistic, realistic and gentle. set realistic goals for yourself. you don't have to fast for a week starting today, start cutting back on things little by little, and implement more cleansing herbs and psyllium and bentonite, then just set a day to start and work towards it. it's VERY easy to get distracted and then beat yourself up about it all, but it's hard to do this kind of thing in the world we live in. just be confident and love yourself for the wonderful being that you are, your body will be very grateful for what you do. something that always gets me going is looking at the photo gallery here on curezone, that's motivation right there to just cleanse yourself of that putrified matter that's been in there for years. i also advise doing some journaling, write down what you want to do exactly.... "i want to start and finish a fast for 10 days" "i want to lose 20 pounds" "i want to be healthier" "i will do this!!!" self encouragement is the greatest thing you can have. maybe you can ask your parents for help through this, maybe they'll even join you, it's always great to have a partner along the way. always check in on here too for words of encouragement, the universe is here to support you in all you do!!! best of luck! i'm starting a 5 day cleanse myself next weekend, after the holiday, i just ordered some blessed herbs last night and set next weekend as the time to start. of course i hope i don't eat too much on thanksgiving.... okay, good luck!!
