Rae662000 W I S H Journal

[rae662000]

It is so befitting that rae662000 is my handle, because that is when I first started the current battle with this weight. That is the birth of my first DD and since that day I have been fighting myself to lose this weight. Since then I have had another DD and gained about another 15 lbs. I am at a staggering 192lbs and I am 5'2. My ideal weight would be 142 so I need to lose a total of 50lbs. I have decided that as of this evening at 12am I will begin a liquid fast. I have already consulting with my doctor and I will committ to a 7 day fast first and go from there. I will report back tomorrow on my first day and my progress. I know it will be very difficult, since I have done a 21 day liquid fast before. However, my body has never been so alive and I long to break the will of my body's desire for all these things I have been piggying out on....sugar, sodas, pastas, bread and such. I do not have a timeframe for the weight lost per se, but I would like to have lost 30 lbs before my Disney trip in Sept.

Welcome and good luck!

I do liquid one day a week and know it feels wonderful but can be a challenge.

You can do this with support, and you've definitely come to the right spot.
This group of guys & gals are THE BEST!!!

Thanks for your support, and I sure need it. Yesterday was my 1st full day of fasting. I successfully completed it with only water and a small glass of cranberry/strawberry juice. The most challenging part was the evening when I was watching tv with my family. All those commercials with all that food almost made me give in. I wanted sooo bad for a chip. But I didn't and just hung in. Of course I have the headaches and weakness, so I just went to bed and hope for a better day today. This morning I am not at my normal engery level but that is to be expected. One thing though is the desire for food is not strong. I have found it to be easy to prepare meals for my family with little to no temptation. Today will not be as active as yesterday I will play it by ear and see what happens.
