• 

• Nikki Youngman, 21 years old Female, weighing 54 kg / 118.8 lbs, 63 in /160.02 cm tall, Atheist. From Cambridge, United Kingdom

• Doing 40 days of Water Fasting. Starting November 4, 2010

• Reasons for Fasting:
  Weight loss, detox, spiritual

• Past Fasting Experience:
  Intermittent fasting for over a year (1-3 days a week not eating), a few 3-5 day fasts and most recently a 10 day fast in September.

• Present Diet:
  Primal mostly, although have been pretty bad the last few months, bread and chocolate are my biggest enemies.

• Relevant Medical History:
  Totally healthy no allergies or anything. Haven't had so much as a sniffle since going Primal a year ago.

• Present Medical Problems:
  None.

• State of Mind:
  Hooked on food. Hooked on sugar really I guess. Finding it very hard not to think of food. I tend to binge. It's a boredom/emotional thing. If I'm bored I eat. If I'm upset I eat.

• Limitations:
  None

• Questions:
  I just really need people's support with this, since no one around me is helpful with this and they are always trying to coax me into eating. I really want to do this, I think it will bring me peace in what feels like an endless war in my mind. I want the clarity, and to lose the fat that won't go away with just eating well and exercising. I think it's more about my mind though. I feel so negative all the time and I know that's not the way I would be if I could break free of my food addiction.
