From someone on a water fast.
by: Anonymous

I commend your courage and ability at a young age to make a decision like this. I am much older than you (49)and have been researching fasting for a while now. I started by doing 3 or 4, 1 to 2 fasts. Only water nothing else. The one and two day fasts I found very easy. I started my 40 day fast on Feb 16th at 8pm so I will complete 7 days by tonight at 8pm. It is not easy...the first day or two was no big deal, by day 3 I had pain in my legs, it only lasted for 2 days so that wasn't too bad. I have been tired during the day and if the opportunity arises I take a nap -- but working full time it is not always possible. I love lighting candles and I thought it would be soothing until the awesome scent made me have mad hunger pangs so I suggest not buring candles especially if they are food scented. I guess the worst part for me now is insomnia, I am only getting about 4 good hours of sleep a night, this has been from the onset and terrible heartburn. You wouldn't think water would give you heartburn but it is and is almost unbearable. I must admit I have taken a couple of Tums here and there. I am looking for the spiritual benefits from fasting and I fully intend to go the full 40 days unless I get really sick or black out and hurt myself but so far so good. I have read that you will get mental clarity and increased energy from this and I am still waiting for that. Good Luck! Kate
