A challenging day on the fast

Date:   5/29/2006 8:02:59 PM ( 18 y ago)

Today has been by far the most challenging day. I was off from work today and did some gardening. The temperature was really hot outside and I was sweating like I was in a sauna! Anyway everytime I would stand up I felt very dizzy. Again, I'm still feeling very tired and I'm wondering when I'll feel more energy! I'm going to go for a run tomorrow morning bright and early. Perhaps the exercise will help me to flush out toxins from my body....

Aside from the fatigue and lightheadedness, I feel very HUNGRY! I have this crazy emptyness in the pit of my stomach that goes away very briefly after I have some juice then comes right back again....it's frustrating! I thought you weren't suppose to feel hunger after the 4th or 5th day on the fast! There were a few times I wandered downstairs and looked in the pots that my mom was cooking food in - well once anyway. Also the stale tea buscuits on our dining table are looking SO good right now! I keep telling myself that I have a goal to achieve here and I'm going to do this. At the end of the fast I know that I'll be glad that I stuck it out and made it through. Everything will be worth it then. All of these challenges and this day will all be placed in perspective....a small obstacle to overcome to get me to the big reward!

Lastly, when I think of the fact that I haven't eaten food for seven days it does seem a little strange. I mean to say it. When I think of my plan to go 30 days without eating any food this also seems strange. I keep reminding myself that this is how our bodies work. Fasting is the reason we get fat in the first place. Our body has the capability to store food as fat so that when we aren't eating we can use our fat as fuel so the body doesn't shut down, it can use this as its alternate source. When I think of things this way I'm not afraid. I think I need to drink more water just to keep my fluid volume up but that's about it. We are meant to do this so I shouldn't be afraid....
