Day 3 was a bit hard during the day, didn’t sleep too good the night before, had throat itching and a little reflux. woke up thirty and had hard time to keep water down, I tried to hold it as long as I can but I finally decide to let the body do its work.

Wrote myself a letter of encouragements
I was doing great until the meal time, Subway flatbread sandwich looks delish... the pretzels at the Makuru looks yum.
I decided to wrote myself a letter to distract from the food, thinking to myself - whenever I am tempted or discouraged of thinking to quit, I will read this letter be reminded how I got here, the health and spiritual benefits come after the fasting. I felt encouraged after the letter was done. 9:52pm going to bed soon. It’s a baby step, glad I made the 2nd day. Have to deal one day at a time.
I hope to experience true hunger. I don’t think I remember how it feel ... read more Day 2 11 y
Day 2, tired but feeling good, tempting apple...
Woke up feeling great, made breakfast for the kids, no problem. I cut an apple for my 4 years old around noon, it was tempting to take a bite, I almost lick it but think about my ketosis is going to kick off tomorrow helped me to get through. I sipped water and washed down the hunger pain.
Felt tired in the morning, took couple naps, start to notice the water taste sweet and stuff coated in my mouth, I brushed my teeth, tongue, the top of my mouth have a little film forming, I tried to use cotton to wipe it off. my thoughts is clear, as I was looking at the calendar, realized my birth ... read more Day 1 - waster fast 11 y
Very smooth, different from my previous fast
I was hungry when I woke up, but the feeling went away after drinking 8 oz of water.
I had to cook 2 dinners tonight, was afraid that the smell of the food might trigger the hunger, to my surprise it was not bad, whenever the hunger feeling comes, the water quickly calm it down. My first day seems to be easier then previous WF experiences. The only different I did this time was I have been following 75% of Eat to Live diet by Dr. Fuhrman for few months, and the past 2 days were 100%. will see what happen tomorrow. The 3rd days seems to be hard for me... Anyway, I learned that the body ... read more Prepare to start my water fast tomorrow 11 y
