30 day water fast of 46 days!! Explanation

I started Water Fast on February 21, 2011. When first starting the fast my weight was 260 and 5’9! Not good!!! I was depressed and tired. I have done one 17 days fast prior to this one and I failed only because I did not feel like going to the store to buy distilled water. So, with the feeling of hopeless and desperation I decided to do a 60 day fast.

It seems that I have read everything out there. Every book every online posting and there are so many opinions. I think I may have run across maybe two or three doctors who actually had some of the same opinions. So, reading and reading only confused me. I decided to do what I thought was best considering it’s my body. I told one person in my family. Many people do not understand the act of fasting and cleansing the body. They only see you starving yourself for a period of time which in their eyes will only lead to death. The family member I did tell is very supportive and its nice having someone I can talk to about what I’m going thru and the symptoms.

The first days were actually easy for me. I did become extremely cold and irritable. Working out was something I enjoyed. Going to the gym for an hour or two and burning at least 600 calories. This was me trying to speed the detox process up. I ignored the hunger pangs and actually cooked meals. About the tenth day I was fine and could cook whatever without it bothering me. I was drinking a gallon of water each day. I would force it down because I thought that was a good idea. But maybe it was not such a good idea. Because just drinking about 8oz of the water caused my stomach to feel full. I also added on lemon and some Sea Salt to my water. I read this was a good idea. It helps me drink a gallon of water and it tastes so great. It was a huge relief from drinking plain distilled water. I do keep a written journal of my day by day progress. The second day was the last day I had a BM on my own. I use an enema once a week. I do become dizzy sometime and I have to sit down. I cannot move to fast otherwise I have to immediately have a seat. I suffer from really bad nausea. Sometimes my stomach hurts really badly and I just force myself to take a nap. I think it’s just my system detoxing. Food disgusts me now. I cannot stand the site of food. The smell is even worse it makes me nauseous. Since my since of smell has become heightened I have not went to the gym. :( I was sick for two weeks with a sore throat and congested chest. Did not want to take pills, but I did. I also took pills when I came on my period. Not good, but I can’t take too much pain at once.

I started out 260 and on day 17 I think I weighed myself and I was 220. So, I think I’m 200 now probably.

My face is much smaller. My Acne cleared up. I have healthier nails but my skin is much drier than before. My negative family and friends think I’m sick and that I should be at the hospital because I’m losing weight so fast. Many say I look like a new person and that I need to eat more. These people would want me to be obese and unhealthy because most are overweight themselves. My goal weight is 130-150. Well, day 30 is over and I’m sleepy. I accomplished a lot today. I cannot wait to fit in my itty bitty bikini. Until next time. I hope this answers everyone questions.
