Water Fast for Weight Loss and Control Over Eating

by Rodriguez
(Texas)

Hello, I am an 22 yr old college student. Like most people in my family I am overweight. I have been overweight my whole life and have alway been trying to lose the weight.

I have been wanting to do a long fast for 2 months now. I did a seven day fast in October and one in November and I think that I am mentally prepared to do a long fast now although I know it wont be easy.

I know that the normal fast is 40 days, but I am shooting for 50 because I now weigh 290 lbs.

During the fast I plan on drinking only water. The first seven day fast was really tough on me, but I started to read the bible and pray to God for help and He got me through both of them.

I guess that I am doing this blog to kind of keep myself accountable. Today is Dec 7 2009 so this fast will last until Jan 26 2010. I will do my best to write something everyday and with the help of God I will finish this.

Thank you to everyone who reads this and all of your comments will be greatly appreciated.
