Re: Day 1 and I can't stop thinking about food.

Hi...I had this problem when I started fasting last year. I tried to combat it by keeping busy with things, but there were some days when I just gave in and thought about food a lot, just tried to do it in a healthy way (made a raw food recipe box, journal writing and blogging a lot about fasting/raw foods). If you are seriously going to fast for any extended time and you feel you're committed to it, maybe you can get off the meal plan at school?

If this helps, the obsessive thinking about food should go away with time(at least for me it did)...fasting gets easier each time, and I think partly that is because you may see the benefits of the fast and your brain then knows you aren't missing out on anything while fasting, you are gaining good health. Good luck to you. Tweet
