I’m 24h through my first 5 day fast and my dad (a bigger guy), upon realizing my decision to fast is pretty upset at me.
He has it stuck in his head that I’m “starving myself” and “going down the road of anorexia” when I’m just tryna get out of a plateau. I respectfully explained to him the benefits in fasting but he insists that it’s harmful for me to “starve”like that.
Oh, but “you look fine as you are now, you don’t need to fast.” No I’m not. I still have another 30lbs to lost before I’ll feel remotely satisfied. I know I’ve already lost 30lbs with CICO and I’m looking better, but I can’t stop now. I don’t want to settle for nothing short of my goal. I’ve tried too hard to not see it through. Just because he can’t stick to a diet or make remotely healthy decisions doesn’t mean that he can bring me down too.
He got surprisingly upset to the point where he was threatening to kick me out of the house because I was not listening to him and refusing a chocolate bar. I knew he was bluffing but I want to do the best for myself and take charge of my life.
I’ll be moving soon for university anyways but I think then when I’m by myself, it’ll be easy to make better decisions.
I just wanted to let others out there (no matter how few) that you do what’s best for you and don’t let anyone else say otherwise. You got this champ 💪🏼
For those wondering, my mom totally supports me and I bought the salts and supplements I need and made some electrolyte drinks with it, and I’m feeling great!
