I am a bit tired...and last night in the night I had some back pain which worried me that I have something wrong with my kidneys...I am a bit worried about getting kidney stones or gallbladder issues. But I am generally in quite good health. About 140 and 5'3" so I just reasoned it was my period (which just so happened to start on the day I began fasting...doh!)
Otherwise, I am listening to alot of podcasts on my iphone and reading Siddartha. I have a bath everyday and last night I put olive oil in my hair and let it sit for a while. I don't know why I did that other than I thought it would be good to keep it moisturized. And I was bored. And I am trying to do some self care during this fast.
Anyway...my tummy is grumbly...i hope i am not fantacising about food this whole fast! Its pretty annoying!

This is a reply to # 1,798,386Should be much easier after next day or so.Your energy will pick up as you start to burn fast and go into ketosis.And your hunger should go to zero or near zero.
Good to keep busy.You can expect food cravings here and there but they will mostly be mental cravings. True hunger normally comes back as you exhaust fat and reserves.
Of course no point doing any weight readings till your time of month is over.- Re: Day 3 and not too bad cccl

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,798,456Thanks for the support ALB! I won't be able to keep track of weight no matter what...I have no scale and I am not leaving this remote paradise retreat to find one. So I will just have to go by the fit of my pants.
Yes my tummy is REALLY grumby today...ugh..
And how do you distract from the food thoughts?- Re: Day 3 and not too bad ALB

This is a reply to # 1,798,464Keep busy. Go for walk,read novel, surf net, read old posts on here. Make the time go by. Watch dvds but not normal tv too many food ads!
Once day 3 or 4 is behind you the hunger vanishes.Then is much much easier.Thats why fasting is easier than low calorie dieting.On low calorie you are always fighting hunger but most people can't make it thru the first 2 or 3 days fasting to see the miracle.The miracle is hunder goes to zero. Mental addiction and cravings linger on. But they can be overcome. Just tell youself you will eat that recipe or food after your fast. And don't tell youself when the fast will end or just keep putting it off.! Fool yourself a little!
Seriously I even read recipes on my fast after first few days. I sort of eat vicariously if you know what I mean.
Also after fasting for a long time you can't just go out and eat some big dinner.You have to build back up to it.
Or you will pay the price. Huge stomach pain,etc.etc.
