Re: I am NOT fasting anymore until..

Good evening Chris:)

Yes, I was very sure that u have been following the thread:)

About self-labeling.... I am not afraid to 'self-label' myself coz I just have this issue. Overeating, being completely full after a meal and still be hungry, not having particular eating hours, eating closer to a midnight... Of course it is eating disorder! What else?.. Thanks to God I did not purge that often. It could happen one or two times in a row for max couple of days then I could go without if for 3-4 months surely. It was just occasional thing.

Well, I even did not think I had eating disorder. Ok, I knew that it was eating disorder but I did not go too deeply into it. I just though I ate not right and, I thought, the main reason of it was my sweet tooth condition. IT IS but it is just a part of it. Plus for the past 10 years I did not have much access to the net plus ppl usually dont talk about it openly.

Personally, I do not see fasting as a way of my life. I BELIEVE in it and I saw GREAT result even after 10 days being on water. I repeat it again. More then 10 years back when I was eating right combos of food and in a right fixed time for 2 and a half months, I got even better results with my health and appearance than after 10 days being on water.Skin was WONDERFUL and eyes were bright even after being on that STYLE OF LIVING for only 2,5 months! I water fasted for 24 hh per week only.. Now I am thinking of fasting (either on juices or water)only 24-36 hours per week too and may be ones a year (it depends how busy I am with my professional life) 7-10 days. Hopefully I will be healthy enough not to fast for weeks. I had my ideal weight only before my 20. After that it was mainly up then down (I mainly was between 7-16 pounds heavier than I should have). The reason of it was my constant attempts of fasting and binging in between.

I am not going top look for professional help at least at the moment. May be later IF I need it. I guess I know how it works or I think I know. I will try my vision of it first. I agree with Anya, I need to sit and try to understand who I am, where I want to go, and really understand what's going on INSIDE of me... I also agree with Archus: 'You are replacing food for some other emotional issues. You are the only one who can figure that out. When you think of eating, stop and say am I really hungry? how am I feeling right now? am I sad, angry, hurt etc? If you can settle and say that I am going to be calm about anything that is on your mind, focus on happy thought and then eat. Take food on a plate as you would normally and then take out 50% of it. Once you finish eating do not think of eating anything else. Sugary foods actually make you eat more'.. Coconut oil helps me to control my Sugar addiction. It helps enough (3 and a half tblspoons a day).. I know what to do.

I will be fine:)
