Thanks for your reply and comments, they help. If my lipomas go down just a little, I'll be happy. Tomorrow I will have my last cooked meal, then I will eat just fruit for three days before starting the fast. I don't know whether I will finish the fast, but I do know I will learn something about myself. It's actually quite exciting, kind of like when you are 10 years old and cycled with your friends 15 miles to the next big town. Maybe I should just get out more, but I'm looking forward to it. I'll keep in touch.
