Hi, my dear Jason, you directed us from the water fasting forum to this, your blog, and I just found you. Hang in there!
You feel empty because you used to cover your emotions with food, you hid your feelings with food, like most obese people.

This is my second day, as you know, and I am starting to feel just the same. I always knew I did not know how to cope with some painful facts and life experiences,and ....I ate them away. Now they will come back, furiously, aggressive.... the day of reckoning! Our day of reckoning....

We have to do it... it is now or never....We can do this, no choice...We have to face this pain, live it, endure it...later on, after regaining our health...we will need to face our life decisions, past and present, and may be make some adjustments.

Hang in there. You are not alone.

A hug,

Monte.
