I feel your pain… it wasn’t long ago when I was over 20kgs lighter. I hope these 31 days go the way you want it to go. I hope you can maintain the loss as well. 

I think you look beautiful in both pictures. 

I put on 24 kgs from April 2020 up to now! I was a slim 58kgs for years! But from the start of lockdown I stopped caring, emotional eating took over n I BINGED! I feel u girl!!! 

Thilesha thank you very much for the compliment 😊 But I will not lie , these extra pounds stripped me of some self confidence. I don’t feel like me and I’m tired of being trapped in a body that I feel is not mine . So I will push , no excuses . Even after the 31 days I will watch what I eat because already I can feel that the way I used to see food and how I see it now after 5 days of not eating is different.  

Sallywu , that’s exactly what I did , I stopped caring and let my self go but it’s time to fetch me back 💪🏼 

Water fast?Whats that all about? 

@sdudla$ I’m only drinking water , coffee or tea with no milk or sugar for the next 31 days . Meaning I’m consuming close to 0 calories a day , which forces my body to use my fat cells for my day to day energy supply . Getting slimmer in the process, faster too but I should add that it’s not easy . It takes a change in ones mindset to see it through but I’m on day 6 and I think I’ve passed the most painful days from what I’ve learnt from youtubers who have done it before.  

31days of what? Rather do OMAD for 31 days. You're body is gonna shut down if it's in hunger mode for a prolonged period 

Thank you for the concern Yolanda but I’ve done extensive research before embarking on this journey . My body won’t shut down , don’t worry .  

How much weight can u lose on a 31 day water fast? I’m trying IF and OMAD plus doing 1,5 hours of exercise a day! Yes I let go of myself and I have 20 plus excess Kgs to show for it! Ppl r so shocked when they see me because just a year ago I had a figure to die for!! It takes a toll on u emotionally and mentally!! I totally get what u say about being in a foreign body that doesn’t belong to u!!! It crushing for the self esteem! I never really appreciated my former body! I guess lockdown brought eating issues that I have always had to the surface! But I am determined to get my body back! I refuse to accept this body as my new permanent shape! It’s not just about fitting into a size 6/8 again! My body hurts at this current weight! My back my sides! Daily signs that my body is suffering n pleading to be lighter again! Let’s do this girl 🙏🏾🙏🏾🥰♥️ 

@sallywu you feel exactly how I feel , and I’m sick and tired of it. In my research I have found that Water fast can make u lose +/- 15kgs in 31 days . Even if I lose less , it’s worth the try for me , then after the fast I will embark on OMAD  

Good Luck! But you’re beautiful as is! 

Thank you very much 😊😊
