Hi Everyone,

I've been reading all the comments posted and it has encouraged me in my journey to improve my health through water fasting. I am 59 yrs old with several medical conditions that are all very common.

I suffer from irritable bowel syndrome,high blood pressure,food allergies,chronic fatigue,acid reflux and fibromyalgia.

Yes,I am a mess! My fasting journey began at the last week of July'09. Currently I have completed 17 days so far. I want to stay positive on my experience but frankly it is hard.

I took my medications for my high blood pressure for 4 days into my fast and then stopped. I read in a study that if fasting for 11 days the body will self correct the condition in almost all cases.

I still have periods of weakness and sometimes nausea. I find that taking each day as it comes and not looking to how many days I have left to reach my goal is helpful.

I have a scheduled visit with my doctor on Sept 21. I want to give her the shock of her career with a dramatic weight loss. Each annual visit I promise I will lose the weight but fail miserably.

My height is approximately 5'4" I don't do scales, but I'd say my weight was in the range of over 210lbs easily.

The mental hunger never goes away because i love to eat. At work at my desk i have to occupy my time on lunch breaks. Reading the experiences from others helps a lot. I have a tip for dealing with the constant bad taste in my mouth.

I keep several small bottles of Binaca in various locations which helps offset the nausea. My goal is to be medication free and give my body enough time to heal and repair. When i feel that i can't go on that helps to keep me motivated.

I plan to do a 60day fast. I am encouraged by another blogger who accomplished her goal. I say to myself it she can do it so can i! I wish everyone success in their efforts. We can do it!
