Well I'm on day 3 of the fast. It is so much easier this time! The first day had temptation but I resisted fairly easily, day 2 I was just tired but no grumpiness or faintness! And the bed part, previously it had taken my body 48-72 hours to transition in to the fast, this time I was already dropping by the end of the first day, and I am dropping more and faster than previous fasts!
I don't know if I've put this anywhere but I have two children and since them, my body just hasn't been where I want it. So that is why I'm doing this. And I am doing great!
well, my "normal" weight loss has stalled out, I still haven't been able to figure out why it was happening but I got myself under my last short term goal. my next one is another 17lbs. That will bring me to a goal weight I have been longing for since I had my first child. That being said the next 14-day fast starts today! I've already downed one bottle of lemon water (I will be drinking one at the start of every day to maintain my digestive system while fasting, not only is it healthier it also helps you when you start eating again because you don't have to start the whole digestive thing over again) and turned away with no great struggle the offer of food once today. We will see how hard it gets later.
My one concern is that the new semester just started yesterday, so I'm nervous about how this will affect my school work...
so, I was on my bi-weekly break from fasting, timed so that I would be eating mostly regular food for my birthday... and I noticed the strangest thing. I was still losing weight... I wasn't supposed to be! I knew that between fasts I would gain a couple of pounds back... but this time, I started gaining weight but then, I lost it all again, and continued losing... I had gained 5 (more than I thought I would gain) but then I lost all of that and another 4 on top of that so far! I'm averaging about a pound a day, though today it was 3 pounds! I'm really looking forward to seeing if it continues! As long as it does, I will keep doing what I'm doing now... once it stops then I will begin my next fast...

Have you watched that movie called Thinner this is what is happening to you. Hope no gyspe put a curse on you.
so, I'm doing a 14-day water only fast, I figured, I should pick somewhere to write down my thoughts and feelings about it, so here I am. I've done a 7-day one before and I loved it. I'm already having a bit of a harder time this time around but I need to stick with it. I've only told a couple of people, my donor, and my personal trainer. I knew I needed to tell someone just in case something happened, but I know my family would flip their collective lid if I told any of them about it. I'm ok keeping it a secret, though it will be uncomfortable on my birthday this next week to hide it. I've already talked to my donor (here after just referred to as BF) about that day and we agreed to share a plate that day so that it is harder to tell who is eating the food... I'm just so nervous about someone finding out and trying to force me to eat because they just think I'm trying to starve myself...
so I will be just labeling all of these "fasting journal #" so if you're not interested in these ones, you know which ones to avoid.
