Re: I broke my fast today :)

Hey Archus! I lost 31 lbs altogether and I'm proud to say that I'm no longer a smoker lol I've not even THOUGHT about a cigarette or craved one for a few weeks. I just can't believe that I'm not smoking anymore lol it's such an awesome feeling. It took me a while to break free and although Water Fasting has a lot of uncomfortable detox symptoms, I love it. I'm actually planning a 10 Water Fast soon..maybe a week or two. At the beginning of my fast, I watched recipes being cooked and just lusted over fatty foods lol Like..oh I can't wait to bake this cake and I can't wait to cook that dish. But as the days went by, God is my witness, I wanted NOTHING more than having a huge chunk of a juicy watermelon. My body craved colorful fruits and vegetables. I've never felt so passionate about eating healthy during my previous fasts than I did with this one. I dunno why..it's just different. So far today, I've had a nasty taste in my mouth but it goes away when I have a piece of fruit. I've had watermelon, kiwi, and cantelope. I purchased a So delicious dairy free NEW Greek-style yogurt..it's made from organic coconut milk I'm sure you've heard of it or tried it. It was really good but I made a mistake and got the 'plain' kind I should've picked the strawberry or chocolate one lol I was in a rush it's ok next time haha...it had 6 active live cultures and I thought that would be perfect for reintroducing the good stuff back in my tummy. I always knew I was going to break my fast with papaya but they didn't have one that was cut up and ready to eat. I just ended up eating the Watermelon but I did purchase a whole papaya and I'll have that tomorrow for breakfast. I feel good, it feels very weird to be eating again. I keep forgetting that I broke my fast and then it hits me that I did. I will continue to dry skin brush and drinking nothing but water and of course, fruits and veggies that I'll be juicing. My cousin is getting married this weekend, I've had SUCH a hectic past few weeks, fasting..working 10hr shifts 6 days a week, you name it. I felt it was best that I break my fast because it would've have been possible for me to attend and all that running around buying this and that and helping with stuff while I was fasting. I made sure to find out that there will be vegetarian dishes there so I'm ok. I wasn't going to go, and my fast would've been 30 days but I heard an earful from my parents lol but it's all good! I really benefited from my fast and I couldn't be happier. I look forward to another fast and I will continue coming on the forum even if I'm not fasting just because I love it her e lol Thanks everyone for your help and support. I don't think I could've done this on my own!!!!
