AS others have said here, food is not going to make you feel better. Ride it out and you will feel so much better for continuing on to your goal, plus you won't have to start over! Take it one day at a time - just finish today, and then think about tomorrow, tomorrow. YOu can do this for just one more day, can't you?

The food will all still be there when you're done fasting. I'm on Day 13 and last night was one of those nights for me. It was hard to watch TV because every food commercial made me salivate -- even the one for Hot Pockets (now that is desperate).

You can do this if you let yourself. Don't give in to the little voice that wants you to live for the moment of gratification at the expense of a long healthy life. You will get much more pleasure from succeeding at this fast then you will from a piece of pizza.

Hang tough NHC days 3 and 4 are usually the worst. After day 4 any "real" physical hunger should disapear.

nohippiechick,
Sounds like you are going through your first detox crisis. Congrats. Good job.
Don't give up now. It's not the absence of food that makes you sick, but your toxins. All these symptoms will go away and you'll feel much better tomorrow.

MC is not a diet, it's an awesome detox system. It's like a toxins removing surgery. You feel a little uncomfortable today? So what? You know what you are doing this for. The result will be well worth it.

Don't give up.

Vickie.
