Re: 10-Day Fast

Lemonista,
Oh, my God, thank you SO much for your messsage. What a great thing to receive in the face of certain gross negative 'bad-little-girl-bad-little-girl don't fast-you -can't know-whats good-for-you-you-dont-deserve-any-respect-for-your-own-intuition-your-own-decisions-about-your-own-body-and-I'm-gonna-tell-you-all-the-ignorant-self-serving-b.s.-that-I'm-full-of-gonna-tell-you-whats-what-' -messages!!! phew. what a workout. Anyway.
you said:
"We are way stronger than we give ourselves credit for."
YES!!!

So I have completed Day One (of twenty-three days! My new fasting goal, at your suggestion!) and I am into Day Two.

So Day Two is tomorrow.
The only challenge is keeping myself happy through the day and keeping a sense of warmth, connection, and caring in my life.
I have 2 friends that I can talk to tomorrow and I will be going to some AA meetings, where I just pretend everyone is fasting/food-sober (i.e. not eating when eating is not OK with them) when they speak of sobriety. Ha! Am not alcoholic but AA meetings are always a feel-good, spiritual place for me. I am going to them a lot right now in my current work to learn to fast/be "food-sober."

23 days is a big goal but I am aiming to do as long as I can by having a big goal... on the idea that if I aim high and get halfway there that is great and might be more than I would do if I aimed lower ???

Again , thank you so much for your positivity about fasting and trust in fasting and respect for one's personal goals.

How's your fast?/fast preparation? Sorry I forget if you are doing a fast actively.
