I have been fasting on and off for months now. The only reason that it has been so frequently on and off is because I haven’t been able to stick to one complete long fast. Long as in 5 or more days. Recently I’ve only been able to last 1 day, 2 max! But about 3 months ago I did a 5 day fast and I lost 10 pounds! It was the best I have ever felt in my entire life. I felt very healthy, light, free, and extremely happy! I was so proud of my body and I loved wearing absolutely anything I wanted and looking amazing in it! It was a great feeling! So great I cannot even describe it! To have NO insecurities and NOTHING to be self conscience about was wonderful. I am so lucky to be blessed with a healthy body and I need to do my small share and put only healthy and nutritious things in my body. I take being healthy for granted and that is not ok. I recently have been thinking about how lucky I am. I used to never or rarely think about my health and I just lived my life. So many people cannot even live their life because of failing health and I really need to appreciate what I have and do all that I can to stay healthy and give my body what it deserves and nothing less. When I thinking about this it makes me wonder why I ever ate anything unhealthy or bad for me. Is it worth harming your body for just moments of “pleasure”? No. It truly is not. You cannot argue that. Most people just don’t come to this conclusion and they continue to fill up on harmful food without thinking of the consequences or even caring about them. Well, back to fasting… I have to do it. And I truly want to! Recently I haven’t been shy of eating anything that appeals to me. Whether it be s’mores or pizza, I’ve had it all! I can tell its been harming my body in too many ways. The fact that I can actually SEE some of the ways is scary now that I think about it. When I eat unhealthy food I wake up with extremely puffy eyes in the morning. And sometimes they puff up immediately if I eat something very bad like ice cream or any type of cake. Also I have this rash that recently appeared on my inner calf. It flares up only when I eat unhealthy foods. One obvious affect is gaining weight! And of course I have gained weight with these habits. After my fast a couple months ago I weight 130 which was an all time low and it was incredible! But now I am at 150 give or take a few…. Meaning 155! It’s terrible and I feel terrible! I need to complete this 14 day fast. When I do I know that I will feel so confident, beautiful, healthy, and just overall amazing!!!! Tomorrow is the beginning of my new beginning :)
14 day fast starts tomorrow
