Re: CONGRATULATIONS!

Thanks, Rowan. My longest fast before this was 13 days done 15 years ago! I'm amazed that I've come this far...most other fasts only lasted 3-5 days, with one 11 day fast.

What's crazy is that I think I passed some stones today, without the liver flush. I may have passed a few others over the last week, too. I just didn't know what they look like or that it was possible to do so on an MC!

Everybody's noticing that I am looking so different these days. My eyes are brighter, and I just look better...hard to explain...I find that even I don't recognize myself.

The great thing is that no one at work has figured out that I've lost almost 20 pounds. I'm so happy about that because the last thing I need is for people to think that I'm on a diet or something...that will only bring trouble. I'm sure we all know how troublesome it can be if co-workers know that you're doing an MC, or think you're on some radical weight loss thing. It's almost always about weight for them. I guess they can't see why someone would abstain for the sake of health.

I have no use for the gossip.

Good luck, Rowan, and everybody else.

I'll keep y'all posted on the progress.
