Linda-Started fasting 7/8/08 - So Far, So Good!

I'm not sure how to add to a blog I already started! I started my water fast on Monday evening. I have had only water, Hoodia, and tea (with Splenda) since Monday at 4:00 pm.

So far, so good! I'm not really all that hungry --yet. I am 80 to 100 lbs overweight-depending on what side you look on.

I am 5'5" and weigh 225 lbs. Years ago when I weighed 125 I felt great! So that is what I am aiming at over a year or so.

I have never fasted beyond three days, so just getting to day four will be great-if I go to juices at that time I will still consider this fast a success.

I would like to fast for 21 to 40 days on water. But if I can't handle it I will go to a juice fast for that long.

Doing this fast-I'm realizing how I think of myself as the household garbage pail-if food is leftover and no-one is going to eat it-I automatically think I should eat it so it won't go to waste!

No wonder I have such a large waist! Hee Hee.
I have taken a few Excedrin for headaches- I'm a wimp and I don't like pain if I can get out of it.

This site is a great motivation to fast. Thanks!!
