Day 1: of the 7 day water fast

Day 1:

It was easy to fast til about 3pm, when I have a dip of energy. I'm thinking it is so easy to break it and delay the fast to tomorrow, but it is a trick that I've played many times before so I wanted to overcome that urge. It is the first time I've blogged about it, which helps, since it seems like I have others as witness not just myself.

The retreat I went to is

in Koh Samui, which is started by an American woman who is very much into alternative health. Interestingly the 7 days were not pure Water Fasting since we were allowed to drink the juice of 2 coconuts every day, broth at night, as well as unlmited tea and lime water. I'm not sure if it counts as a real fast as some people may define it, but after 7 days I lost 10 pounds and looked very different.

Back to my fast "in the city". It was easy to fast til about 3pm, when I have a dip of energy. I'm thinking it is so easy to break it and delay the fast to tomorrow, but it is a trick that I've played many times before so I wanted to overcome that urge. It is the first time I've blogged about it, which helps, since it seems like I have others as witness not just myself.
