My experience during the first 6 days of a water only fast.

Today is Day 7 of my water fast and I will attempt to recall the prior 6 days. Day 1~ I experienced stomach pain akin to mild ulcer pains (had an ulcer 20 yrs ago so I know) which surprised me and made me almost throw in the towel. Since I am fasting for spiritual, as well as physical breakthrough, I concluded it was the enemy trying to get me off track so I held my ground. The pain has not returned~just hunger pangs. Days 2~5 I found I was getting increasingly emotional with feelings of anger and self-pity. The mild headaches receded and I had periods of mild activity, such as basic housework, until I knew I just had to rest. On day 5~ I had mild short-term liver pain (I used to drink a lot so I can feel my liver). I took a bath and sloughed my skin. I had the temperature up high (because I feel uncharacteristically cold all the time now) and started to feel very strange (tingling in my veins, nausea, dizzyness, pounding heart) so I won't do that again. Day 6~ I took another (cooler) bath to warm up and did much better although I did feel dizzy upon rising. I experienced significant nausea and indigestion (bile rising up in my throat). I have been laying around mostly- wrapped up in blankets. I lost 7 more pounds. Including my 3 day liquid preparation it is now a total of 11 pounds. I originally weighed 179. (I should weigh 133!)
