Re: Who are we?

Hi,

I'm a 42 year old single mom of a toddler who works out of my home. Since having my daughter I've had virtually no exercise at all. I've always struggled with my weight but lately I've been aware of how much junk I'm putting into my body and in the past year it has escalated - I'm even starting to binge on alcohol and other things that didn't even tempt me before. I feel very out of control.

Ten years ago I did a 19 day water fast. It completely changed my life. However I received no support and it seems like my family is still blaming any problem I have on 'that time you fasted'. I remember at the time I lost 26 lbs. and it jump-started some very good eating habits. I also remember feeling 'euphoric' for weeks and months after the fast - I had never felt like that in my life! I kept the weight off for a year or two then it gradually started creeping back up. Here I am, ten years later, 50 lbs heavier, and older, and wanting to regain my health and energy.

I'm on day 7 and I'll admit this is much easier than a water fast. I can't say I feel wonderful but I definitely feel lighter, calmer, more energetic, more serene and focused, more motivated, happier (I guess when I put it that way, it does sound pretty wonderful!).....

Good luck to all!
