Blog: My 30 Day Fast-The Exquisite Journey
Day 17! Late again I know.. but I was up for hours on the phone with my best friend having the best conversations. If I didn’t have her, I would be dying.. just dying from starvation from intellectual, spiritual, loving and authentic conversation. I must have them...I MUST!!!
This fast has gotten more and more interesting. I am still very optimistic but for some reason the later I stay up these days, I find myself wanting to eat. I have been drinking PLENTY of water which helps met get thru it…along with plenty of prayer. I really want to keep going because I know my body is still detoxing. I have the white coating on my tongue and still haven’t had a BM on my own and my skin is sooo dry... what’s up with that???? I am having to take enemas to help me along and still having solid “matter” come out. (I always try to be politically correct.) However, I will say that I damn sure do feel lighter after…so as far as I am concerned… YEAH for enemas, 5 minutes and you ready to go baby!
So as I approach day 18 I am praying to keep my eyes on the prize and always remain focused and in prayer. I have been cleaning and clearing and throwing away as many things as I can and I actually feel drawn to do it.….It feels good to let go. I haven’t exercised, I know, shame on me but my energy has been way down. I am dealing with some female issues and I decline to go into detail because I really don’t want to induce vomit or fear in all the men who may be reading this blog. Ladies, you understand!
I have been getting plenty of rest. I am elated to say I that I bought a pair of jeans a few months ago and could not come close to buttoning them but I tried them on last night and by the end of this fast I know I will be able to wear them comfortably. I am ready to start feeling better so I can hop on my treadmill. I need to get my money’s worth because before this fast I would walk past it and turn my head in shame. It would call out for me like a yearning lover… but I would run away with cookies in hand and pretend not to hear the call to action.
About another AHAA moment… I had a surprise yesterday and it was one that didn’t expect. I found myself a little worried and feeling down… then I found myself desiring ice cream. I wanted some of that sweet funky stuff! It hit me so quickly…and I thought.. that Is IT!!! That is why I am fat…( and I type that with a smile. ) That is what I do when something upsets me.. . I stuff the feeling with something sweet and comforting. Now that I actually realize it.. . I see I have the opportunity to make different choices and I pray for the stamina and strength to remember this in every moment. I hope to choose power instead of feeling powerless, to choose wisdom instead of feeling resigned. I choose to be aware, and being aware is priceless!
As I type this..I realize this is what the fast about. Clarity!!! I have been experiencing clarity in so many areas of my life. Areas where I need to grow and make choices that enhance my power and self love instead of detracting from them.
I am so grateful and so thankful. I desire to see this thru and change the whole.. . the WHOLE of my life.
This is about making choices for the greater good...my greater good.

I thank God for you!!! Congratulations on finding the writer in you. We've always known she was there just waiting for you to allow her to express herself and honey she is expressing herself.
After reading your accounts of your day to day fasting journey I was inspired also to begin a fast. My reasons for fasting are to help facilitate physical healing for a condition I have manifested in my body, gain spiritual and mental clarity and to keep a commitment that I have made to myself. Keep me accountable :-)
I look forward to hearing more about your success.
Namaste
