Re: Fasting until I reach goal weight

Thank you Quagga for answering my question. And boy how right you are!

I regret to inform everyone that I did not stick to my fast. I think I made it to about 3 pm that day. I've been trying to restart for a couple days but I keep failing. I was too embarrassed to post that here at first but then I realized you guys could be a massive help for me so here I am.

It wasn't until today that I really sat down and questioned why I keep stopping the fast so early. Emotional eating. I'm eating because I am bored, sad, upset, happy, etc. (i keep stopping and starting the fast so i've been feeling like such a failure but I can't say it was a complete waste of time because I am infact learning about myself) I even noticed tonight while I was eating that i didn't even want to be eating!! We had personal digiorno pizzas tonight. I didn't want it. but everyone else was eating so i sat at the table to hang out and talk and the next thing i know i am eating. it tasted nothing like i remember. the tomato sauce was so gross, the crust just tasted like cardboard. And then after dinner, to top it all off I felt sooo BAD!!! lethargic, depressed, just BAD!!

It's a vicious cycle! I want to fast, I start to fast, I psych myself out of fasting, I binge eat, I feel like crap, decide to fast, start to fast... see what I am saying???

I'm really going to need a MASSIVE amount of support for this. I want to start and COMPLETE a seven day fast. After which I want to juice fast for 7 days and then start a raw food diet... The other day when I began fasting I weighed 196 lbs.. today I got on the scale and I am 202.6 lbs! I cannot keep doing this to myself. I have to end this cycle and I have to end it now. This is my cry for help!! Anyone, everyone-- HELP!! Tweet
