Yep, last day, I made it! I'm not over the moon, but all in all it's good to be through this interesting experience. Feel free to comment!

Yep, I made it to the end!

I've had some cravings today, and yummy food has smelled in the kitchen all evening, but I've declined to cut my fast even a few hours short, and reminded myself that when I start eating tomorrow, amongst with some juice and broth, I'm not going to jump straight at the ice cream and steak, but wait and wait, and chew my little bit of salad carefully, and see what my tummy says about each particular kind of food I'm going to put in myself from now on. After this week of uncertainty and occasional boredom, I am NOT going to take any steps backwards!!

Boredom is exactly what I've felt these last days. Boredom of needing to explain to people and myself, boredom of smelling food and needing to tell myself that it'll be there also after the fast; boredom of just not seeing the point any more.

But altogether, I AM glad that I did go through this.

I'm now convinced that fasting is NOT PAINFUL, or overly DIFFICULT in any way, and I'm sure to fast if I ever get sick again in the future. I've also given a lot of thought over at least half a year to fasting every Monday, so I'm pretty sure I'll go ahead with that one as well. I MIGHT even still consider the whole month-long fast in the future, just to see what happens in that time, or at least try to last until the end of the second week. But in that case I'll be sure to go somewhere where I don't have temptations for others' food in the fridge but can actually fill mine with my own juices and just that, and where I can yell at myself without anyone else being around to annoy me even more.

Next time I'll always make more different kinds of juices, not every single one with the same veggies. Even if I bought the same ingredients all in bulge, I could mix my juices a bit different in each bottle!

Well, what is there to say... I'm going to report my post-week here as well, just as a reminder for myself for next time.

Oh and my housemate, with whom I suppose I have made peace now, told me it seems like I HAVE lost some weight, and I look "smoother from the rear end and thighs". Thanks! That's actually some nice compliments there, so I didn't do this all for nothing! My tummy bulge is still where it is, but at least I didn't get any of the negative symptoms (headaches, sore throat... except for my moods), so I suppose I've been doing well with the hot showers (hate to even think of them) and douching. Way to go!
