Day 22 of 40-Day Fast - Fasting & The Mental Challenge
by JJ
(Toronto, Ontario, Canada)
I began fasting back in 2001 in February. It was a gruelling experience for 3 days. In fact now that I look back it was my most difficult fast that I've endured. I've completed many fasts since then, some juice and some water.
Today I'm on day 22 of my 40 day water fast and let me say it is mentally challenging. All I do is think about hamburgers, french fries and pasta and hot mustard with relish on all beef wieners and many more foods. Today's date is Tuesday February 2nd, 2009.
My strength is about 60-70% and my sleep at nights is very comfortable and soothing. I drink distilled water and sometimes I drink natural spring water. I weighed myself at 150lbs and today I'm 124lbs. No bowel movements as of yet but I've never experienced any whatsoever before during fasting.
I crave fresh broccoli, cauliflower and dill pickles, by the way I'm a male - not pregnant.
However, wish me strength and success and I'll get back to you soon.
