Water Fasting for Detoxification: Seems As If This Will Make Me a Better Person - Support Wanted

by Felicia
(Tucson, Az)

My name is Felicia, and I'm relatively young. I'm by no means over weight, so that has nothing to do with my decision to water fast. I am though, not the least bit healthy. You wonder how this can be possible when I say I'm not overweight, but somehow it is.

I'm 5"10, 135 LBS. I have some target areas that need work, but nothing the gym could not improve. (I attend the gym around 6 times a month).

Anywho, Throughout highschool, and some college, I turned to drugs, and just bad habits in general. It was never the "skinny making" drugs, just Marijuana. All day everyday for for years, my best friends and I smoked whenever we had the chance. A waste of money, and a waste of a healthy body if you ask me.

Along with pot smoking, comes booze and the wonderful "Munchies". All week long, party party party, eat eat eat. Sure it was a blast, but I can only imagine what my insides are like. In no way have these bad choices affected my accomplishments in life, I just know that physically, I'm not up to par.

Sleep all day, out all night, soda, fast food...man, I do love me some fresh fries. NO GOOD! I have done months of research on all kind of fasting, but the water fast is the one that most intrigued me. Of course I don't plan on fasting for forty days, but I think four-five days would do the trick. I just want to "start over" in a sense. Rid my body of the toxins that I absorbed throughout the past 6 years.

I promised to cut out the marijuana, which has been successful for 5 months now. I have a beer occasionally, lets say once a month. I eliminated soda, and cut out the fast food. So I think I'm ready! I will need your help though, food is a weakness to my heart!!!
