Lessons learned on my first 25 Day water fast

I was shooting for 28 days in the hopes of eliminating my uterine fibroid. By night 25, I had to listen to a lot of spiritual material just to keep my head on straight. That night, a voice told me, should be my last night. I told my boyfriend and he immediately said--you said you were going to 28 days. So I ignored the voice and continued the march to day 28.

But by the middle of Day 26, I was out of control. It started with a little bite off a cracker. By the end of the day I had had cake, fries, biscuits... I didn't have meat though, I was adamant about that.

Day 2 off fast, I continued munching away on junk food all.day.long. I was sooo scared after the stuff I had read about ending fasts wrong. But to be honest, besides the feeling of being full, I've had virtually no discomfort. I know that may not be the case for others, but I just wanted to put that out there. Now Day 3 off fast, I know now that I should have listened when the voice of inspiration whispered to me to stop. I would have been able to go to the market, get the fruits I needed, and end the fast with dignity.

I gained about 6 pounds of the 30 lbs lost so far. Wednesday-Friday I will Water Fast again and then return to fruits on Saturday.

Good luck to everyone. I will find out if my fibroid reduced in size on Friday. Tweet
