Hi there

The good thing you are doing here is taking it step-by-step, ie you have a pre-plan. I am currently preparing one for myself, and would love to lose 28lbs. I am glad I found this website as you will see a lot of people doing the same thing and that in itself will motivate you.

During your fast, anytime you feel like giving up, take some time to read what is on the boards here. There are people who have done 30 days, 40 days, and even 100 day fasts! Have a read about how they coped and think of how you can do the same.

Try and distract yourself as much as you can during your fast. Keep yourself busy and give yourself little time to think about food. When you are hungry, have a glass of water.

I am new to the forum myself and will be adding my experiences to help others. Good luck with your fast and hope it goes well.

Take care,
A
