Water Fast Day 1-5
easier than ever
Date: 1/6/2009 8:34:37 AM ( 15 y ) ... viewed 2641 times Day 1- I didn't have any problem getting through the day. When I felt hungry I just drank water to fill my stomach. I did have trouble going out to the kitchen without feeling deprived so my boyfriend make the meals so I didn't have to be tempted. At the end of the night I did drink plain decaf herbal tea.
Day 2- Once again my boyfriend cooked, which I am so grateful. I have been thinking a lot about food, and how wonderful it is. I imagined myself eating a biscuit with egg and cheese. It's funny how I didn't want to really eat something after a day with no food. I drank my water like a good girl and kept myself busy with reading, writing, and researching on the internet.
Day 3- Today I woke up with boundless energy, I cleaned out and organized all the closets in my apt, and rearranged furniture. I felt like I was nesting. It didn't bother me to be around food. I was able to make my family a meal without being bothered or even wanting to taste it. I was happy to do it. I have always enjoyed cooking for others. My day ended early. I took a hot Epsom salt bath and went to bed early.
Day 4- I had my spurts of energy again today and moments of fatigue, but I went on like any other day other than having to keep myself occupied at mealtime. I've accepted that I am going without food for a while and I'm happy that I don't succumb to any addictions anymore, like caffeine, or carbs. I make sure that I'm drinking enough water and I lay down when I'm tired.
Day 5- I was a bit bored today. I went for a drive and a walk, and did yoga for an hour to loosen up my back. I re injured it from moving furniture around. I hurt my back earlier in 2008 that ended my nursing career and since my recovery time from PE I've sat around a lot and lost supporting muscles for my back, so I'm in pain again. Yoga is better than anything else. I refuse myself naproxin while I'm fasting. The bright side is that my head feels clearer in my thoughts and I feel lighter and there is less strain on my body when I walk.
Overall- I have not weighted myself at all. I don't want to deviate my real motives and preoccupy my thoughts with just weight loss. I don't want to obsess about it.
I have not really been light-headed much or have loss of sleep that I heard can happen. I am moving along just fine through my day, though I tend to spend more time alone, which I don't mind so much for now. I like the reflection and introspection time I have to be with myself. I have been thinking about My plan for when the fast is over so I have a concrete break planned and what my diet will consist of after I've adjusted to solid food, so that I don't gain all the weight back. I know I'll gain some but I want to keep consistent with a diet that will maintain a healthy weight. Today is day day 6, I will write my next blog when I am at day 10. Thanks for reading and any comment, suggestions, or compliments.
