Re: Day 10...need encouragement.

Hey...thanks Fonty and everyone. The first 7 days of my fast I was very active, working 9 hours a day and then going to the gym afterwards and running. Maybe too active. I just had so much energy and resolve at the beginning of my fast and whoops...where did it go? I may try to go to the gym tomorrow and try and work "in" some energy by working out, but I've just been plagued, absolutely SMITTEN with the odors of food wafting by me that everyone else is enjoying. It almost feels unfair. I almost pity myself. Today I started craving strawberries and carrots instead of other things, but I figured that was a good sign. Maybe it's just my mindset that's dragging me down, but I feel absolutely ravenous. I feel like I can't give in though because that would be failure, and weakness. This is actually really stressing me out. All of my senses are enhanced, I feel like I am floating high above my body, but all I can think about is food. It's consuming my thoughts and I don't like that...I really wish I could just let it go and be stronger.
