Re: 2 week (or more) water fast. and hi, im new!
i am not going to really sit here and type of an explanation of why i am here, why i am not in therapy, etc. but i will just say, because one is in therapy doesn’t really mean anything. you can be in therapy and have it do absolutely nothing for you. ive spent years in therapy, ive learned what i need to learn to better myself mentally. sometimes i succeeed, sometimes i don’t. it took a long time for these problems to develop, and it will take even longer for them to be fixed. this will be a life long struggle i will always have to deal with. i know my body and i know what makes me feel good. again, i said fasting isn’t just about losing weight. thats a huge plus, but its about starting new for me. gaining the control over my life that i feel i have lost. and i know the benefits of my fast will help me way beyond anything physical. as for me not looking overweight, firstly, that picture is a year old. and ive gained at least 30-40 lbs in the past year or 2 due to the stress ive already mentioned in this thread. i wouldn’t dare go near a camera right now at this weight. second, the picture is only a head shot, so i think its pretty silly to say someone isn’t of a certain weight when all you can see is their face. but anyways, didn’t think this would get so much heat. thanks to everyone who was extremely kind with their replies, you may be the main reason why i might choose to stay posting here! unfortunately ive been browsing about these forums and have noticed a huge amount of posts from people being unfair, disrespectful and non supportive. so we will see how this goes, this may not be the place for me :)
