First, my sister Dawn has posted for me a couple of times, and your replies have helped me more than I can tell you - Thanks!
I thought this was going to get easier by Day 13, and it is still hard. I still want to eat really bad! Energy is hard to come by, but I have been getting out every day and using all that I do have, which has helped a lot. The shortness of breath when going upstairs is a killer. The main thing is that I want to stop wanting to eat! I want to eat everything from McDonald's to vegetables soup.
Is this strong desire to eat ever going to pass? I can't stop the fast yet because I am still wanting to eat very bad, unhealthy food. Are there any long term fasters that continued thinking they were "hungry" throughout the fast?

This is a reply to # 1,204,352hey...good for you for hanging in there. some of the things you describe remind me a lot of my first and second fasts that I completed this year. It is only after having fasted a few times that I "lost" hunger after a few days. The first fast, I thought about food the entire time, pretty much. I also experienced the shortness of breath, too. I live on a 3rd floor walkup and it was not fun! If it is any comfort, I have not experienced that in any of the numerous subsequent fasts this year. While I am not a seasoned faster, really, I will say that I believe the more in tune with your body you get through fasting, the more aware you will be about the 'true hunger' feeling as opposed to stomach pangs you may experience during your fast. peace, kozzzAdvertisement

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,204,352Wow! That is great that you are on day 13! WAY TO GO!!! I know with me the really body urge for hungry goes away after 3 days, but I still want to eat a littl bit afterwards. I think it is because I miss the pysical eating because it takes so much of our time to do so. Breakfst, snacks, lunch, dinner, snacks so forth while watching tv, reading books or just with family members.
I think the urge is harder during the summer because of all the cookouts and stuff.
You are doing well, and everyone's body is different and reacts differently to fast depending on the life style lived.
Good luck with your fast! Keep it up. You are doing great!! - Re: Day 13 and it's still hard! mamas_girl
