8Jan2012! 30yr female, 40llbs overweight. 21 days water and juice fast

Hi Y'all. So after Christmas a private clinic was advertising weight loss supplements in the form of Appetite Suppressants and because of two years of being overweight i made a decision on that day to lose weight for good.

The initial shock came in wen i jumped on the scales to be weighed.Were my eyes deceiving me or was i really 14st10lbs? I could not believe my eyes so i just broke down crying.

I had no idea my weight had actually fluctuated to almost 15st! Last time i had been on the scales abt 4mnths bck i weighed 13.12 at my heaviest so it was truly a major shock to my system to find out i had gained even more weight.so now at 5.5 i was carrying almost 5stones extra weight.

OMG did i hate myself. The doctor at the clinic looked like she had seen it all before so wasn't at all moved by my breaking down. This made me realize enough is enough. No one feels that much sympathy towards a fat person.No more miss Fatso. I purchased two week supply of the controversial Phentermine 37.5mg and this has helped me kick start my road to weight loss.

I lost 12pounds within the first two weeks and becoz i didn't want to get addicted to drugs i didn't go back for more so for the past four days my hunger is still very minimal but i still wanted a more positive way to lose the excess weight and purify my body mind and soul which Phentermine didn't provide until last night when i came across Water Fast as the best way of losing weight and getting the spiritual hunger ive been feeling fulfilled.

I didnt sleep all last night reading posts frm all members. I felt God made me come across this site for a reason and ive decided to give this a serious go. As im now exactly 1stone lighter it makes it a lot better as i know its possible to lose all the weight thru motivation and dedication.

As i have been praying for spritual intervention in my life i feel this will be the best way to get to know God the Father, his Son Jesus Christ and the all mighty Holy Ghost. Ive been feeling like God wants me to have a deeper relationship with them and after reading how fasting helped others im more than ready to succeed at this.

This will be the first hardest task of my life and i pray to God to make the journey a lot simpler for me and everyone out there who feels they need changes in their life through fasting. So my goals are like this:

1) I want to get to know my creator in a deeper level so i can fulfill my calling. Im more in need of strengthening my relationship with God than losing weight alone. God is the healer and medicine of Life. Only thru him can i get in touch with the dark demons of life who threaten to ruin me thru gluttony and and mere idleness.

2) I wish to lose at least 21 pounds during a 21 day water and juice fast starting on the 12Jan12. And then try and fast for another 21 days after two months so i can be at my ideal goal weight before summer is here.

All in all the total overall weight loss for me will be to shed at least 40pounds frm now till April 2012. This is my year of change for life. Im 30yrs old but i feel 50 on my good days and on my bad days even a skeletal century old person has more energy than I.

I feel i have created for my self a miasma world and now its ruined my life but all hope is not lost. Jesus said 'I am the way, the truth and the Life.
3) I wish to make some fasting buddies to help ease the long winding journey ahead. It is a mountain to climb and i need a helping hand or two to make it thru the desperate times when i know hunger will strike like Jesus' coming. Unexpected and Shocking.

4) All in all i wish to have all my toxins washed away through detox and all the fat to melt thru brisk exercise and having peace of mind.
My body is God's Temple and its been hard to keep my spirit alive with all the junk and gunk inside me. The time for change is now my fair Ladies and fine Gentlemen.lets join one another in this magical quest and always remember there is a pot of Gold at the end of a rainbow.

It will be hard and most of us will contemplate quiting and some will definitely fall off the fasting wagon. This is a journey ladies and gentlemen but the key is to always remember its not the journey but the destination that counts. We are the Umpires of our own minds. God gave us the gift of freewill so lets use it to change our lives for the best.

Noone is going to tell u its high time to change your lifestyle. U have to want it so bad like i do and persevere coz no one said its a walk in the park.

Lets imagine each one of us managing to lose almost all the gunk we have been chugging all our lives and all the alcohol we've been inhaling to ease the pain of looking in the mirror and seeing this humungous sad person staring back in the mirror .eew.

Its not pleasant i know S0 i think it will be nice to have buddies to encourage each other wen the fast gets tough. Anyone who wants to join me in this Spiritual and Physical well being quest will be welcome with open arms.my personal email is: afreekahbliss@gmail.com. Good Luck to all and Godspeed!
