I'm 19 Years Young And It's Day 28 of My 40-Day fast!!

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to try to inspire anyone who may feel like their fast is on the way to failure.. DON'T GIVE UP! It's definitely worth it! I'm not completely done with it yet, but so far many great and positive things have came out of this..

For example, I am in college so I used to drink a lot, but ever since I started my fast I had to give that up.. that was the toughest part!! I managed though :) I feel a lot better about myself now too! Ive also lost 31 pounds along the way!

That definitely is a boost of self esteem! I went to go visit my family this past weekend, and the first thing my mom said was.. "wow you've lost a lot of weight and your skin looks so much more clear and soft and your hair is shiny!" "you look great!"

For me to hear that made me feel real good that fasting has actually helped with my skin and hair as well.. i heard it did, but I wasn't sure if it was true, but if my mom noticed then it has to be true.

I haven't craved food at all either and to think I've gone 28 days without food is insane! I have even been baking a lot of things for my roommates and it doesn't even tempt me at all to eat some, which I think is good too!

Anyways, I just want to wish everyone luck on their journey! It's definitely quite an experience!

If anyone has any questions about anything don't be shy to ask! :)
