Thank you guys soooo much for commenting. I am indeed on the fast and its soooooooo insanely tough. I meant to get back to my post sooner but not eating is such a mental battle more than physical. Every second I am trying to convince myself to quit. Then the next I tell myself "hell no..please stop being a loser and COMMIT..you're always complaining about your eating and your weight noq shut up and pull through..you want to change dont you?" and I drink more water lol But I would love to connect you any of you who are embarking on the journey as well. Shoot me an emial lili206957@aol.com

by: Anonymous

i`ve been so much similar to your situation and what i was doing is putting my self down and thinking i wasnt strong enough to do it but reading your post,it gave me this light and surprisingly,its been now 6hours and my mind hasnt even thought of anything but how badly i want to beat this habit of eating like a mouse.

As from today,am officially starting my 28 days for fasting,i wont be left behind and am going all the way in and declair my victory because war wont be good enough but what i want is victory.God knows how much i wanted to have a say in how much i put on.Just to give you a little details,am 5`inch 8tall and am 192lb.Thats too much for a 26 year old but feelijg sorry for myself wont get me anywhere.

So lets join hands and fight this weight with everything we can use because nothing comes easy without a rough bumping road we`ll take.Am with you in this my friend and be sure,we`ll take the enemy down this time.

oh my gosh,
Its actually rather frightening how similar your post is to my life..
I honestly feel as though every single word was just being read from my mind...

Food is an escape for me, no matter what the mood;
sweets when I'm sad, Carbs when I'm Mad, And everything else when I'm bored..

I can assure we I understand 100% when it comes to procrastinating a diet... I wake up every morning, and its a new excuse, ... 'Today it's raining so I'm gonna pig out'

I am so ashamed of myself, I am overweight... Havn't always been.. but following a series of unfortunate events in my life... I, Like many others turned to food...

The bottom line is,
We can do this... WE CAN ALL DO THIS!
there are so many amazing benefits we will all experience.. we just need to get over the 3 day hump..( I find the first 3 days the hardest) and everything will be worth it..
No matter what our reasons, No matter what our stories,
if you in your mind body soul, feel as though fasting will help you mentally and physically, then why not give it a try..

This is life, and it does not last forever...
so why not live feeling, Light, healthy, Happy, and completely cleansed.

fasting is the answer.
Stay safe, Stay strong.

by: francam

Hi Dee,
my name is Franca. Alot like you I am about to start a 10 day fast and need to do it to rid myself of a path to overeating and binge eating. I lost about 90 lbs 10 years ago and I find myself fighting a constant battle with about 20 lbs braught on by the this binge rollercoaster that I am on. Hopefully this fast will give me the strength I need to overcome this horrible feeling I have inside of hoplessness against this battle with binge eating. Maybe together we can overcome our battle together. If you need to talk I will be more than happy to be here for you.

Good luck
Franca

I totally empathize, and suffer exactly as you do even though I don't have a weight problem. (this even makes it a bit harder, because then where is my motivation to do the fasting I need to do? But don't get me wrong , I am grateful above anything at least to be thin)... I am still "food-addicted" and have no control (except the control I have managed to impose on myself via a raw diet -- that's what keeps me thin) and live to eat, instead of eating to live. It is a depressed, miserable, fixated, toxic state. I know fasting lifts me out of it and puts me in a state where eating is a choice and not a compulsion , not an event that must always be a "high-impact" event and result in my basically passing out, only to wake up urgent to eat again, when there is no physiological need... not that there was one in the first place: what I mean is: in fact my predominant physiological need for about 20 years has been to fast... I do short fasts but struggle (4 times or so in my life succeeding in fasts of about 4 days, but this obviously nothing like enough fasting for healing) to even begin longer ones.

Fasting has been made scary for me by bullying-type people in my life who refuse to respect me/support my fasting (saying that i am some sort of "danger to myself"). This interacts with my anxiety disorder to create a mental situation in which fasting terrifies me and at the slightest sign of detox I panic and eat, thereby ruining any chances for real healing. This has got to stop... I am 40 years old in one week and have been beaten down by my compulsive overeating, my lifetime of compulsive overeating , into a state in which I am completely alone, and imprisoned by terror of everything. And I repress the fear with food. And this works for about 5 seconds before severe depression comes and has to be repressed with food. The eating of the food makes the mental illness return and return and then there is more eating to repress the anxiety / depression and then there is more anxiety / depression. And then more eating. If I could only fast, I could begin to live a real life. Please help me.

Your post was liberating for me to read. Please, I hope you will not be put off by my not being at a high weight.
