June 15th 08 -- tomorrow -- I will start my water fast. I feel it will not be easy. I want to fast for 60 days as I have about 90lbs to shift before September.

Acid Reflux by: Anonymous
I have had those problems in the past too with the "burping" or acid reflux. In the beginning, I actually quit fasting several times because of reflux.
When I get like that, I start sipping on water and keep upright until it passes. I have also broken down and taken an antiacid and sucked on it because I didn't want to break another fast from reflux.
Do make sure you sip water throughout the day. If you stop drinking, you'll dehydrate and then drink alot. If you drink alot in one setting, it goes straight for the kidneys. If you sip, your body utilizes more.
When I fast, I have to read alot about fasting to keep me motivated and I have to stay busy. I actually clean my house when I'm fasting.
I'm a mother of 4 and it takes alot of will power not to lick my fingers while I'm fixing them dinner. Happy Trails!
