Day Three of Ten-Day Fast

Hi - I am posting here to try to get in touch with my spiritual reasons for fasting. i belong to an in -person NDE group where I live. The last tiem I posted here I got a nice response -- thanks. Just looking for any support for my fasting and accountability to keep my commitment to to the fast! Powerray

I tried to begin this fast again a few days ago but couldn't. I haven't wanted to post (that's just how it is for me sometimes), but I really need support. I am having an easy time physically. I am helped by reading the natural hygienists, I think especially Shelton. But I am having a really hard time maintaining my motivation or commitment to the fast. I need to feel that it is worth it and that I am worth it, i guess. I am experiencing a little "detox--" weakness/fatigue, being slow-moving, feeling groggy. I have been spending the days in bed or moving minimally. I , again, just really need affirmation, people telling me to persist in the fast, support. Now I am entering Day Three. This is the vulnerable time for me. I typically run out of steam and think I have done enough (as IF!!... but I don't want to be harsh with myself... but I really, really need to honor what my body is asking me to do, and fast for several days, not just one or two and stop, typically right in the middle of intense detox. This is the worst and I just really want to break this habit! I want to make this a breakthrough -- a gentle, supported breakthrough, but a breakthrough. I have gotta stop hurting myself... I have got to get committed to more gentle eating post-fast, too. i am all raw foods but need to get away from the more triggering raw foods. Again, any support is really appreciated. I can do this. I can make these changes. I can change my life. All I have to do is wait it out and I will start to feel better and I will accomplish a fast of some length... right??? ) I really am being confronted with the seriousness of the changes I want to make... healing depression, anxiety, brain fog, lethargy, candidiasis/bacterial infestation of my intestinal system and probably my whole body... these are big changes. But I have got to with more serious fasting really start to change my state of health. I want to have children. I want to live healthy. I am tired of being so sick. Fasting is the way forward for me. I do need support with it. Breaking it shouldn't be... much of a problem, but i really need to be responsible and post about that, too, when the time comes. Best regards to all,
