Thank you ver much! Please share more about your fast plan. Mon to Thurs. weekly? I met a woman whose husband fasted every week 3 days continuously. Then ate 'normal amounts' teh other four days. He was very relaxed about this -- despite the hysterical screaming reaction MD s in my experience have given to this kind of a personal/appropriate eating plan. Their reaction scares me so much. I struggle to have an independent mind. and not be scared by the bullying of others. And I do consider western science bullying. Certainly I have been hurt by it. I do not mean to be negative but really need to express these tender hurt feelings I have from lifelong hurt by these MD type people.

When people discover how to fast and that it is no big deal it takes on such a different feeling... it is almost -- perversely -- a letdown. It is as though I needed excitemetn and drama and the feeling of danger... I need attention I guess.

I like talking to people for whom fasting is no big deal, though.

I am on Day Two ... thanks for affirming that short fasts are valuable, BUT I NEED TO LEARN TO FAST LONGER. I am so trying to affirm to myself that I NEED to go past the 2 1/2/ 3-day mark. I want to get better! It is SO necessary for me to fast Longer!
