Just Started 30 Day Fast

by Miri
(Montana)

My name is Miri. I just started a 30 day fast yesterday. This is the contract I wrote out for myself for the fast:

I am the daughter of a Diabetic and have enormous risk factors for cancer. I weigh 223 lbs as of yesterday. My fast ends February 12. I fast for a better spiritual connection.

I am fasting to decrease my risk factors and for my loved ones. I want my husband to be proud of me and not worry about my health.

I want to be able to play easily with my child and have energy. I don't want my adult children to be embarrassed by me when I go to meet their friends and coworkers.

Today, I begin fasting for me, to be more in touch with who I am. The distractions will go away and leave my spirit in their place. I am strong. I can do this. I can detach from food and my dependence on it for emotional numbing.

The Spirit within me is greater than the temptation of food.

The Spirit within me is greater than wanting to feel numb.

The Spirit within me is greater than the pain I have.

The Spirit within me knows all and is not afraid.


These are the affirmations that I am using during my fast.

I will update each week. I wish everyone who makes the decision to fast a positive experience.

Namaste, Miri
