Day nine--scary 
serenity now

I keep waiting for the bottom to drop out.
Surely this can't be. Surely tomorrow I'll hit the next wall, and collapse in utter fatigue and lethargy.
But yesterday, and so far today, it's like I'm eating...only I'm not.
Zero hunger. Twice the energy I normally have. And my mind races with intensity and focus.
Last night, for the first time in 8 days, I slept like a baby.
Yes, this fasting thing CAN get easier as time passes. Now, I'm sure I have challenges ahead, but for the moment, this is sweet!
So, if I hit that proverbial wall in the next day or two, I'll say so.
Until then, Happy Fasting!

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,752,650Sounds good to me. I don't think it has to be that hard and think after you get over the hump or whatever it cruises along pretty good.Day 13 today for me .Read my posts for more details. Already know can easily make 14 days and 21 is looking doable .Past that well.

This is a reply to # 1,752,667Wonderful, ALB,
If you decide to finish with 21, I can't wait to read your final post. I'll be celebrating with ya, brother.
And yes, I've read all of your posts with great interest.
By the way, won't that final reading from the scale be...uh...delicious?
Ha! Here's to dreaming about food!
Happy Fasting.

This is a reply to # 1,752,650Your body is gathering energy to perform the next healing crisis..but I know you are ready, Are you no? ;)
And you know healing crisis are do not stay long with us. So, this is a go.
Nothing to be afraid of. I do advise you-this I learned from the gurus and from my own experience- try not to be very excited now, as this is easy when we feel so good. Keep yourself as calmed as possible such as to minimize the discomfort that is to come....- Re: Day nine--scary serenity now

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,752,682Good advice, Montecristo.
A couple days ago, I couldn't imagine continuing--the nausea, the aches and pains, the lethargy, the dizziness, and OMG, the dreadful insomnia!
And then suddenly...peace.
So when--not if--I reach that stage again, I'll be ready!
