Weight- 139.2
I'm finally back in the 130's. It's been a few months since I've been here and I'm getting even more strength to continue as the numbers decrease. That's the key to it IF you're doing this primarily for weight loss; just ask yourself when you feel weak "how will I feel after I eat this" or "just think how much weight I might be down when I weigh in the morning". Besides that, take it from experience, when you quit a fast before you're really ready, like spur of the moment, you'll feel so defeated and weak- especially if you're pretty far into it. Those 1 or 2 day fasts I've quit a hundred times because I had only that short time invested in it. When I've gone through the agony and pain of a long fast and quit abruptly, I'm ALWAYS sorry. Three weeks ago I went 9 1/2 days and quit at the "suggestion" of several people at a family gathering and I've been sorry since then.
Pretty easy day- temptations of a mexican restaurant but I can handle it- and so can you! Good luck tonight and during the day tomorrow.

| Thank you so much for answering my comment! You're too sweet. I would like to start water fasting tomorrow (I'm jucing for a couple days now) and would like to go for 40 days. Maybe add a cup of juice here and there if I'm too weak. I am the same way the first couple days, if I don't break it within 2-3 days, I'll be fine :) Good job avoiding those temptations! I will be following your progress.

| Thank you so much for following along with me. It really helps mentally knowing others are out there reading about your struggles and it holds me accountable too, I think. I hope you did well today. 40 days is a long time but just think, time is going to pass whether you're fasting or not so where will you be in 40 days, body wise? It helps me to try and rationalize like that because I've quit at times and then think about it on the day I had originally planned to quit and I always think "if I had just kept on look where I'd be!" You can do this- sometimes it's easier to say you'll quit when your body tells you so you don't feel let down. You sound strong- and let's put it in perspective- if you had a life threatening disease that called for this fast, you'd do it in a second but when it's just for ourselves, it's easier to give ourselves an out, you know? Good luck to you and I wish you the best!
