I have a lot of heartache. I'm not saying my story is special, but I got a story, like everyone else. On my own, I've overcome all my life's trials and tribulations so far, but two. Water fast is one of them. Maybe it symbolizes a rebirth? What do I know, honestly, I'm lost right now. Never thought I would be on a forum. It's a new one for me and it's good to try new things, right? 1st time for everything.
Also I am trying to lose muscle. So along with the Fast, I'm not pounding pavement. Yes, this will be a huge mental challenge for me. Not to husband bash, but my muscle bulk is defined by my husband as being fat. He likes the stick, oh my God will you eat something look. I personally like being physically active & follow a vegetarian style diet, supplements, yes I've educated myself with health/nutrition. I enjoy Garden of Life RAW.

That takes a lot of willpower. I couldn't do it. I've tried fad diets like Atkins and Nutrisystem but diets don't cut it for me :/ For you, you're already physically active and you'll have an easy time adjusting to the diet needed after the fasting is over.
Can you explain what you mean by adopted though? Are you looking for like a trainer, a coach, or someone to give you inspiration and support?
Thanks for the link. I'll be sure to check it out more in depth later. I'm not really on the web alot, besides stuff like ebay or order my running shoes. Which by the way I didn't realize I ran about 1500 miles on my last pair & after the Fast I'll be ordering new ones. oops. I don't necessarily diet or follow them, I just try to live a healthy lifestyle. I only learned who Kim Kardin...whatever her name is, just about 8 months ago & still don't really get why her picture is on the magazine racks. You could say I've been under a rock, but I'm not completely out of society.
Adopted, well, I'm basically without parents, siblings. It's just been me until my gramma died, then it was me. Then I met my boyfriend turned husband. Then 2 kids. I had no friends in grade school, 1 BF in middle school-moved so that was the end of that, then 1 BF in high school, then married & BF married a real penis head, so we're not BF anymore. I'm not like "normal moms" I'm usually the youngest mom with the age of my kids, since I chose to start young, don't gossip, grip about my husband/kids (usually pretty positive thinker), don't want to hang at the mall & charge everything & eat Wetzle Pretzels. I'm active & the active moms I've met so far, have their heads so far up their ass I tend not to enjoy their company. I get along better with the young female crowd, but I'm married so the singles want males around where I've never been around other men except passing them on the street. My husband doesn't do "social" Adopt a mom is just a "simple lady's humor" maybe it's not funny or catchy. Seemed like a real Oscar when I 1st typed it. Should I retract? trainer/coach/inspirational guru...whatever & whoever can fix me is fine by me.
I passed the Saturday AM breakfast I had to cook for the family. It was mentally challenging smelling the Mrs. Butterworths & not having any (It's funny I haven't had any in years & I wanted some). My family doesn't follow my healthy lifestyle. They like their "junk". The health food I make them usually follow with complaints or in the trash or I eat it so it doesn't go to waste. Normally I'd have my organic oatmeal, fruit or something. Oh boy I better not talk about food. I came online to not be around the food, just drank some water. I usually have the willpower, but I lost willpower recently. Hmmm, maybe that's why I'm doing the Fast, to regain willpower? I don't know, sounds good.
