Hi! On Day 2... encouragement appreciated (newbie)!
Hi guys! I've read this website for 2 years actually but I've never posted (shy!). Anyway, I'm only on day 2 of my 40 day fast and I'm feeling a little frustrated and tempted to quit, but of course I won't! Do you find it get easier after day 2? Day 1 was a breeze by the way, so that's good. I have done fasts before, one was 3 days and the other was 7, those were a while ago. It would be really nice to have some words of encouragement from you beautiful people :) and actually since I wrote this I've felt alot better (my mom gave me a hug lol).
Questions: how long should my refeeding process take? I'm thinking I'll go on a juice fast after the
Water Fast and then switch to solid foods, vegetables first... I don't have a juicer so I'm not sure what I'll do there. Also I think it would be smarter to break the fast on vegetable juices and solid vegetables before I get into the fruit, which is more acidic and higher in sugar. I want the smoothest transition I can have so I'm fine with drinking/eating sparingly for a good while. I know it's soooo early in the fast to be asking this but I think if I feel sure about what I'm going to do next it will be easier for me during the water fast.
Thanks! xoxo
