fasting and loving it...

Well, I wouldn't say i'm loving it, but it is working for me... hehe.
Hi there. I'm new to the forums and looking for my own weight loss support as well as wanting to support others trying to lose weight. I happen to be about 3 weeks into a medically supervised fasting program and so far I've appreciated the break from food and the quick loss in pounds. I have a long way to go, but feel confident that I can get there. Starting the new year this way is fantastic, but this diet is hard, especially when it comes to social aspects of eating.

Nearly none of my friends knows i'm on the diet. I think most of the would tell me i'm crazy and laugh at how much I'm paying for it. But I think of it as an investment in my health, future and happiness. My mother is in advanced stages of diabetes and already has failed kidneys, amputated toes, and can hardly walk. She had heart surgery 2 years ago. She hasn't been able to work in years and the quality of her life has severely decreased. Vacationing is nearly impossible for her because she needs dialysis 3 times a week. At almost 30 years old, I realized I was headed right for the "family legacy" if I didn't start doing something right now.

I hope this year will be different for me. I hope to see the pounds come off quickly, safely and look forward to living a more healthy life afterwards with totally revamped self-esteem. Good luck to everyone doing the weight loss thing and happy new year!

starting: 254 lbs
current: 236 lbs
goal: 135 lbs
