Need a Buddy... Anybuddy? Bunch a' Buddys to Join me on This Journey...

Hi Everyone,

Mel here, I have not scheduled a fast, but am giving serious consideration to doing so. When I meet a buddy or buddies, we can schedule a goal together. I am considerably overweight and I can't seem to maintain the motivation to complete any program these days... My life seems out of control?

I've attempted to fast before, but life and weakness always seems to get in the way. I believe I can accomplish a small goal with fasting and it sure would be great to have another in my corner to share experiences with.

I want to fast to overcome food obsession as well as a smoking addiction. I plan to journal my experience and, hopefully, my buddies will be there in times of weakness or the 'why am I doing this? I should just get a double cheeseburger' moments. I sure will be there for them.

I believe I will discover many things about myself in this journey. And maybe, just maybe, bring to light strong, mystical internal resources to help navigate this minefield called life.

My objectives are physically, spiritually, and mentally motivated.

My plan is to spend 3 days at zero carb to help detox and begin shutting down physical hunger. Then start a nine day water fast (3 day goals; Phase 1,2,3) so as not to create too ambitious of a goal to set myself up for failure. Baby steps. In Phase 1 I may or may not drink coffee; I may go from caffinated to decafe to try and not get the tremendeous headache I experienced prior. If you would like to join me in my adventure, please email me at:

All buddies are welcome, but I hope to find some buddies in the USA as I have a calling plan that allows me to call anytime on flat rate so maybe we can have phone contact also for very weak moments?

I'll have to keep my adventure from my husband for awhile as he'll think I'm a kook, but more on that later. Sure hope somebody finds this... I need help and maybe someone else does also.

Always be safe and prosperous! Mel
