DAY 5...I Finally Got Told My Breath...

Greetings Friends....
Made it to DAY 5 and the oh so dreaded weekend is approaching. I have never made it through a weekend on a Water Fast so I need your strength right now. On me last two 4-5 day fasts I ALWAYS succombed to Friday's mashed potatoes (loaded) with one of my kids. Speaking of which, as mentioned prior, I have a family member joining me for an undetermined number of days...that may give me an iron edge...let's see what happens. On to the symptoms.
Last night was pretty bad, I was restless as all get out. My significant other told
me that I was like one of those kids who is so sleepy, they start getting hyper right before bed. He then looks at me and goes..."your breathe smells horrible,I've
been holding it in all through the movie"...(He knows I am fasting...and I kept asking him did it stink 2 days ago..cause I am anal...and he was like "whatever" before, but last night he was right disgusted) Hee hee...He was confused by my happiness about this...IT MEANS I AM DE-TOXING...YEAH!
My face is experiencing light Acne a little more today. My heart feels weird and slow, but I still jumped out of bed at 5:24am...After about 6 hours of sleep.
People...I am NOT a morning person, I'm like one of those kids that always needs 8-9 hours. I refuse to weigh myself this particular time, cause FOR ME, that becomes a hair trigger to eating if I don't like what I see. I am learning, and this is turning into a VERY different experience. I know my body well enough to know about where I am. I have a bit of a headche and fog again, so that was unexpected, cause I thought I was through that.
All in all, I feel pretty good though. Chugga chugga choo choo...on I trod.
Have a great one all....and if I don't post over the weekend, then Monday you
will get the full skinny.

This is a reply to # 1,289,222Great job, Lisa! You are doing well and you can do it. Just keep positive during the weekend. I know weekends can be a bit harder on a person during a fast.
When I am fasting, I am constantly brushing my teeth and using mouth wash, to the point of carrying a little travel bottle of it with me, because my mouth feels so yucky when I am detoxing. I work with the public, so I am very aware and alert of my bad breath and the smell I give off when I am fasting. It aggravates me a bit because I don't like it, but I know it is the best thing for me.
Keep it up. You can do it! I know you can :o)Advertisement

Thanks Sacristia, you actually just gave me some GREAT advice. I was brushing twice a day already, but now I see what you mean. So I will get myself a portable tooth brushing system TODAY...hopefully it improves my life...lol
Thanks for the encouragement.

Hang in there Lisa. I'm on Day 6 and all is going well. Really good sleep, very little white on the tongue, only a couple incidences of bad breath and I chalk that up to the previous fasts and eating right in between.
Initially I had planned on water for a week then a week of juice and just alternate like that until the end of the year; however, if I keep feeling like this, I will see the water through for as long as I can. I believe Steve is on Day 22 and going for a break of his 27 day record. I'd like to see how far I can go as my longest Water Fast has been 9 days.- Re: DAY 5...I Finally Got Told My Br... melinastravels

Wow....22 days on water. Furthest I've gotten is 5 days water, 7 days juice...If I get through tomorrow, I will break a threshold...but like you, I would love to know how long I can really go. At least I'm headed into this weekend positive...thanks for the encouragment Raine.

This is a reply to # 1,289,366It isn't easy, Lisa. Water Fast can be much more harsher on the body then juice fasts. I learned that first on.
I did 55 days on water once 3 years ago during the Lenten season, I just started well before Ash Wednesday and I broke my fast on Easter, which Orange juice. It was awesome. It was the longest I have ever done a water fast, but it was so spiritual as well I grew and healed my body Physically, mentally and emotionally.

Hey, your doing great. Keep trucking along. At the end of your post, I started singing Chattanooga Choochoo. You can get past the weekend. You have to believe in yourself. Pull that determination out and use it. You are woman - you can do anything :) Just keep telling yourself that when you feel like caving. You are strong, and you can do it. Blessed be.

This is a reply to # 1,289,222I may not be answering or commenting on what you wrote, but I just have to say i like how you write. Its as if you are standing before me actually speaking. Some people plan out what they are going to say, and it takes on a different form. But i feel like I can actually hear you speak, with the expression in your voice. gave me a little giggle, lol.
Especially these lines...
Last night was pretty bad, I was restless as all get out
but last night he was right disgusted
People...I am NOT a morning person
lol, anyway, best of luck, and look forward to reading on monday.. the "full skinny"Advertisement

Congrats on day 5 Lisa.
I suppose brushing does help the bad breath problem to a certain extent if you brush your tongue to get the sulpher muck off, but since the lungs are one avenue of elimination, you will still have BB to some extent. Also the Sinuses are going to be draining, and they can be a source of bad breath.
Oil pulling might be good as it eliminates mouth bacteria, and also really makes the mucous flow. Just avoid swallowing.
Also you could irrigate the nasal, and sinus cavities with warm distilled salt water with a little added H202 to kill bacteria. Again doing so over the sink to avoid swallowing anything.

Thank you for that information, InCharge.
I have done some oil pulling before but I haven't done it in a while and I didn't know it would help when I am fasting.
The nasal spray will help me as well, since I do have alot of drainage when I fast.
Thank you again for your input. It was appriciated. - Re: DAY 5...I Finally Got Told My Br... melinastravels

Hey, now that is a great idea. I had read about oil pulling, so maybe this is like
my Karmic moment to give it a try. Thanks again Incharge and everyone.....
