Lately, I’ve realised that after years of neglecting my health, working long hours, and spending most of my day sitting, I’m really uncomfortable in my own skin. Every day I struggle with clothes that used to fit perfectly well, and when I tuck in my tops for work, I can feel rolls of skin that weren’t there a few years back. I’ve never tried fasting before, but I’m tired of feeling weighed down. I just want to feel less constricted in my clothes and in my movement.

I work out three to four times a week, but I find myself snacking throughout the day, which is my main problem – sugary snacks. It is a subconscious action of hand to mouth. I’m hoping that fasting might help me become more mindful.

I started my fast at 6 PM today and plan to break it on Sunday, April 13th, at 6 PM. I have already prepared food for the next two days (no processed sugar), with a training schedule planned.

Current weight is 10 stone and 4 lbs.

Wish me well.
