Re: Who is fasting in the moment ?

Vilang, I want to say , great leadership, and I also want to echo Catch22's appreciation of this group's positive thinking! I have begun as of today (Monday, May 31st) a Water Fast of 40 days or whatever my body tells me to do -- a substantial fast, my first long fast, so I can't really predict the length, but I am committed to staying with it some time! Catch22, I have really appreciated your posts. They have walked me through your day-to-day experience and helped me envision doing my own fast just as everyone here is doing! Vidda, I really appreciate your energy especially, and as you say, keep on -- it's important! I liked when you were telling about just sitting outside. I think I want to experience tranquility in this fasting experience. Wish me luck -- here I go! I am afraid of being quite laid flat the first several days and want to last through that!!! To begin with. That is going to take a lot, and I am going to ned some help! Then to experience feeling better, and finally in refeeding to lift myself out of my habit of seeking comfort in food! I want to do non-triggering foods -- I am very sensitive to food and have to seek a kind of gentle "sobriety" with food! Otherwise I just suffer. Happy evening to all!!! Regards, Powerray
