My New Beginning

by Nicky
(Australia)

Hello,

My name is Nicky, I am 23 years old. I have hit a major stump in my life, and I feel as though I am a completely different person to what I use to be like. Three years ago I was full of life, sociable and extremely energetic.

I was 173cm tall and weighed 64kg. Which for my body type was great, I had no complaints, and I was extremely fit.

I'm not too sure where it all started, but I met my boyfriend four years ago who is a truly supportive caring man and I couldn't ask for anyone better.

But I let myself go. I moved states for him, and I emotionally ate through boredom while I wasn't working and didn't know anyone. Now 3-4 years later have gained 20 + kgs and feel absolutely disgusting. I hate going out as I feel everyone is judging me.

I can barely stand to look at myself in the mirror. So as of today I am changing my life around for myself and family.

I have done a four day fast before but this time I am aiming for 10 days. I need my old self back. Wish me luck :)

Day one -

It is now 11am and I am at work. I am not too hungry, and I have almost consumed 1L of water - which is great for me.

I surprisingly have quite a lot of energy today as I had a great sleep last night.

I don't finish working till 8pm tonight so hopefully I still feel this energy:

Thanks
