First full 21-day Water Fast...

Hi, I am starting a 21 day water fast so that I can lose some weight and detoxify my body. I am now on day 2 and besides feeling weak and a little nauseous, I feel great.
I walked on my treadmill this morning for 45 minutes. So that may also be where some of my weakness is coming from.
I find that what helps my hunger pains is chuggin' on water and walking on my treadmill twice a day...in the morning and then in the evening around 7 or 8. It gets me through the night also.
Vivid dreams started last night and I had a dream that I became so thin BUT I still had my BIG BOOBS!! LOL
Boy what a picture that was...the dreams are so vivid as if I am awake when I know I am sleeping. I got fed up with always getting boils all over my body.
My husband kept telling me that I needed to stay away from food to alleviate this problem so that my body could heal itself, but I would just get mad with him since he is lean and looks great.
Well I got over that feeling of madness and realized that was just me and my body trying to stay away from the inevitable. I kept having thoughts that if I don't get my eating under control, I would soon have a heart attack and leave my two young boys without their mom in this most wretched world...this is one of my biggest fears.
So anyway...I see all the other posts and I am motivated to keep going. I have no hunger pains, but the hardest part for me is and will be cooking for my family, smelling the delicious foods, and then not tasting it.
Day 2 will soon be over and I am looking forward to this weekend...my husband is off and I can get some rest and He will be the cook for this weekend so that will help me get through this weekend.
So Monday will be day 5 for me and the end of my first phase...if I can get through that goal,
I should have enough motivation to get through the rest. So we will see what my weight loss will be at the end of my first 21-day fast.
