Catch22,
Thanks for the great post. Your dream is really funny... hope it doesn't hurt your feelings that I say that. I have started my fast now. I have an e-mail buddy to write to, to unburden myself of my angst -- the unfortunate neurological phenomenon of my food addiction. I have a couple of in-person/phone support friends, too. I hate fasting, but OK, I am going to do it. I just want to commit now. I want to fast 7 to 10 days like you and then try to go longer. I am ambitious to fast to completion. I read your list earlier of why this fast has succeeded for you and that helped me. I anticipate that i will not be so ill in my fast this time because I went MUCH lighter on the food today and also ate things that make one's bowels move and will do an enema. Sorry graphic but just saying my status. i need to keep myself un-isolated and not-too-ill. Being too ill confines me to bed as you are describing and being in bed at home alone all day kind of freaks me out. Ok, I can have a pleasant time of it if I have to do it... and I just DO have to DO IT!!! Wishing you a great night!
