This is my blog, called 28 days till perfect because that's what i am. So you're probably wondering what this is all about? Well I have issues with my weight, I am approximately 97kg which, even at five feet ten is far far too heavy. How have i let myself get this way you might ask? Well, and let me make this clear, i am not making excuses for myself, I moved city and got busy, basically i grew up. And out. I used to be a tiny size 6 to 8 (UK size if you're wondering), just a year and a half ago. But i moved cities, met a boy, got a job and ballooned up to what i am now, i.e a size 16 to 18. I could tell you how it's ruined my life and so on and so forth but this blog is not about me being negative, this is about change.
So me and, i'll call him the boyfriend (let's just say it is waaay too complicated to get in too) have decided to go to his native country of Angola on holiday in July. This will be my first trip out of Europe and I want it to be special, walking on the beach, relaxing in the sun, all that jazz. But obviously this can't be done, while i am the size of a small mini bus. So i've been trawling the internet for diets ect but none of them will work fast enough. It's April now, I don't have time to faff about with miracle diets that don't work. But while i was internet-ing I came across a lot of pro ana stuff, for those that don't know ana stands for anorexia Now i'd been through an anorexic phase in my early teens, but had a very good doctor and went in to recovery and haven't looked back since. But looking at all that stuff again bought memories back of dropping weight fast and efficiently. Now i know there will be someone reading this thinking "NOO!! DIET AND EXERCISE" but i don't have the time to worship the tread mill. I work almost a sixteen hour day. So i need something that can consume my life but not my time.
Then i saw this. Living for ana. It's a blog here on blog spotter that is truly the holy grail of self denial. One of the articles written was about a 28 day water fast (I bet you're beginning to get the picture dear reader).Basically the drift was a 28 day water only fast, that means NOTHING other than water, no juice, no pain pills, and definitely no food! I can't ingest anything with any calories, not even supplements The thinking behind it is that after day 5-10, your body rewires the way it works, to feed on glycogen only (that's the fat already stored in your body) and starts to produce ketone bodies. Days one to five are suppose to be the hardest, but after day five hunger levels are suppose to drop dramatically and after day ten energy levels are supposed to rise, and by day twenty eight 90% of body fat is up. But anything eaten, even a crumb, will chance the metabolism back to needing glucose (new sugar input) instead of glycogen.
So i checked this out and the science seems sound, talked it over with my 'boyfriend' ( I told you it's complicated), and brought some ketone sticks to help me measure the ketone bodies in my system. I',m all set to go. As i type i am consuming my last food for the next 28 days, pizza just in case you're wondering. Its kind of exciting actually! I can't wait to see the change in my body happening, and even more than that, can't wait to find out if i have that kind of self control. I'll be blogging about my journey hopefully everyday, so support from you guys would be lovely, i think i'm going to need it!
Anyway down to the digits, to be posted every three or so days. Weight; 97kg. Measurements; arm 39cm, thighs 68.5 cm, stomach 103 cm. See below for some pics of me, taken today. Wish me luck.
See you guys soon,
