I haven't been really struggling so far with this fast. I haven't had any urges for food at all.

Yesterday was a bit hard because my office had me go and get my flu shot which I really didn't want to get for some reason. My arm ached all day and is still aching and it hurt to even lift my left arm up.

I was doing fine last night, very upbeat and positive until I spoke with someone. After that I was struggling emotionally with things. I thought about reading abit about EFT, but it was so late, I didn't have the energy to get the huge stack of papers that I printed out. My arm hurt too much as well. After working a 11 hour day, an aching arm, and a full mind, I didn't seem that I could do much more that night. I am suprised I slept.

This morning I felt refreshed and when I drank some water, I tasted so good.

Yesterday I went to Walmart and bought two cases of purified drinking water so I had water on hand during this fast.

I have to say that I have been struggling with emotional things but last night it just became harder. I think that is why I think going forward with this Water Fast as been a bit easier on me. I have been able to focus on prayer and allowing my body to calm itself in times of turmoil.

This morning I have read that EFT helps with Anxiety, Trauma, Depression, Fears, and Relationship Issues. I even read a bit how it has helped people with a fear of needles (which I have - so a person can understand why I didn't want my flu shot yesterday or any day) as well as help with insomnia. I had a very very rough childhood and I have always fought to make sure that no matter what happened to me, that I was not going to allow my past to warp my personality and give me all kind of problems. I wasn't going to be labeled a fruit loop or that crazy insecure woman because my life has been hard on me.

I read what I could so I could do a first set of EFT tapping rounds, which I have to say it felt very odd to do, but I will continue to work then into my life and as I fast to see if it I can see a difference in my life by appling them.

Right now I kind of just feel numb.

My mind was pondering about, as I always do during a fast, the outcomes I would like to see for this fast. I know when it comes to fasting, when your body is ready to fast, the urges might be strong to break your fast and eat, but some how I am able to see myself through them. I find the strength to stay on target. I like to believe that God helps me with it. Without sounding like some Radical Christian on this Water Fasting forum, I try hard to encourage and help people with my own fasting expeirences.

God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear - 1 Cor 10:13

I know that I want to eat healthier then I do. I steer away from the fast foods no matter if I work two jobs or not. During this fast, I want find ways to make my long days more healthier as to eating. Finding a way to provide myself with a healthy lunch and dinner without carrying a cooler full of food in my car between jobs and so forth.

Just right now I am drinking water, trying to relax and getting prepared for NaNoWriMo on November 1st.

I feel down and just numb, but I know usually with day 3 and 4, I get that way. I think it is because of a lack of food in my system. And to comfort myself of that "off" feeling, I eat and I immediately feel better, which is not the right signal that I should give myself.

I will try EFT again.

I guess I could take a page from Jay's book. I might make me smile some more.
