survivorwoman - Started Another Water Fast - Input/Support Wanted

by Linda
(Texas)

Tonight, I began another water fast. In the past, I have failed at fasting many times. I would complete 24 hours and then my preoccupation with food would gain momentum and the fast was over.

My last fast was for five days. In that short amount of time, my sinuses cleared completely I have chronic sinus problems and have had 5 surgeries, and my blood sugar and blood pressure normalized.

I slept so soundly and was able to breathe so deeply that I wanted to continue, but I gave in to food and juice once I had a horrible experience with orthostatic hypotension.

I was so weak and dizzy, from getting up too fast and moving around too fast, that I gave in. I was also getting my garden ready for planting and such strenuous work is not conducive to fasting.

Now my schedule has slowed down somewhat and my sinuses are clogged again. I'm ready for this fast and have distilled 5 gallons of water to get me started.

Even better news is that during my last fast, I was able to remove my caffeine addiction. Tonight, the preoccupation with food has vanished, and I'm able to focus on the healing aspects of the fast and forget the food.
