This is another reason I want to do 40 days...

So, later, when I need another fast... like 15 days, then it won't seem so bad because I'd already done the long hard tough one. I want the other fasts to feel like a breeze because this one is NOT a breeze. I'm not suffering quite as bad today and the other day, I managed to watch a movie at the theater without the popcorn and candy. I drank water through a movie (I saw the movie Chimpanzee). Anyway, that is saying something right there because I go to the movies all the time and wasn't sure I could make it through it.

I'm glad I reread your post wateroflife. Thanks!
