It has went very well on my part. BUT my daughter has been VERY grouchy. She wanted to eat something today, and is pretty ticked off about Halloween candy, lol. But i struggled to keep her on. I know that another fast will benefit her tremendously, but getting her to go through this again might not be possible, lol.
She is ready to break fast in the morning, and I am as well. Then i am going to start IF, every other day fasting. Just not in a long term fasting mode as of right now.

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,290,758That's great that you got your daughter to stick it out. Very impressive!
Of course your daughter won't realize any of the real benefits till after the fast is done and maybe not till a few days later.
After that you will know if she'll be up for it again.
I think she will be surprised at how good she will be feeling as a result.

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,290,791True, the real test will be to see if I can keep her off the junk!
Changing her eating habits has been a very slow process, and very difficult. At the time when eating habits really start to form, she was living with her father who was a junk food junkie. Lots of fast food and processed foods. LOTS.
Its baby steps, I'm working on her :)

This is a reply to # 1,290,795Good luck. I remember when I was in high school and my mom trying to get me to change my habits wish I had listen but hey I'm 21 now and still got time to str8en it out. I looked at ur IF site and I came up with my own IF plan I'm going to follow til I'm ready to do a 30day fast.

This is a reply to # 1,290,758Thanks guys :)
Today i started to think that maybe i will just try and do fruits and veggies this week, then start another fast this weekend. Gee. Not really sure what i want to do to be honest. Feeling a little spacey and confused tonight.
:| I want to fast, but then i dont. I want to get back on my 10 day a month fasting like i was doing, but then I don't. I want to keep trying for an extended water fast, but... I am starting to get depressed about failing every attempt.
Why have i come SO far, to only stall out now? What happened along the road?
I get a lot of emails people telling me they think i have done great losing so much weight, and giving me praise, now i feel like such a loser... Like yanno, "Maybe you should have chose someone else to admire, cause I SUCK now"
blah... HELP! I think i am starting to feel down on myself again... Some how I feel like the first few days of fasting, might be having some sort of affect on me that i am really not understanding, or cant understand, cause i feel "shifty" again...

It will settle out.
Take a nice walk in the morning if you can.
That's always good if you have a lot of thoughts swirling around.
I'm still impressed that you got your daughter through the fast.
I'm guessing that she will want to be eating better now.- Re: Day 3 Daughter and I. fasting2goal

This is a reply to # 1,291,115I will try that. It should be nice tomorrow, a long walk, take my dog. :)
Maybe to the park, by the lake. If no one is there, I could sit and practice my EFT, lol.- Re: Day 3 Daughter and I. Donn

This is a reply to # 1,291,125Sounds like you have nice places to walk.
I'll give you a bit more and you can try it out.
I read about this some time ago in a booklet and its called "Take a walk".
It was referred to as a remedy for many things including headaches, inability to sleep, feeling out of sorts etc.
I use to do this at nite when I had a time of not sleeping well.
It just said to go out for a walk around the block for a good twenty minutes or more till you feel better.
As your walking notice things in the environment like the ground, trees, houses, the sky, anything really and keep doing this as you walk.
The speed of walking is not important.
If you start to feel a little tiredness you should continue until this passes until you feel bright and alert.
That's it really.
So its just walk and look at stuff till you feel noticeably better.
This is really good to do for anybody that looks at a computer screen for long periods of time.
Have fun.- Re: Day 3 Daughter and I. fasting2goal

This is a reply to # 1,291,159That web site was one of the first I scoured every edge of Raine. Thank you for reminding me of it. It has a lot to do with the relgious and spiritual aspect of fasting, and although my focus is not on that, many of the articules and info are excellent to read and learn from. I have to learn to be able to draw on my own strength my own inner self for calm, its something I have a hard time doing, but my life is a constant improvement, and i will continue to keep trying.
Thanks :)

This is a reply to # 1,290,7582 mandarins, a pear and tall glass of mango juice. Quite delicious way to break a fast.
Daughter begged for scrambled eggs. *cringe!!*
Wasn't gonna happen. She opted for the grapes and the pear juiced. She'll have a veggie salad for lunch, and a "normal" dinner.
Now to decide where I go from here. Her on the other hand, says she wants to try again with me soon, but i think she is just toying with my emotions, ha.
I am tempted to fruit and veggie it today, and go ahead and jump into another fast. Still not sure, will see how my day progresses.
Things on the homefront are still quite disturbing, but thats for another forum...
Take care all, have a beautiful day! - Re: Day 3 Daughter and I. melinastravels

Hey there fasting2goal,
Well you did better with your daughter than my son. Who put off
his fast till Monday, cause he and his friends were hanging out,and
he lasting till Saturday night and said that was that. But he is
determined to do it, cause now everyone is saying he couldn't do
it...lol...but tell your daughter she is to be commended for
getting through Halloween without trying to kill you, and that
is saying alot. Great job on Day 3...and NOW...I have good news..
melinastravels...Lisa
