Re: dry fasting easier than water fasting, for me that is!

Dear eggcream,

I am happy that it's going so well for you, very nice job :,).  So far 5 days has been my limit (5.2 to be exact) and then thirst and drying skin get the better of me.  I expect to be able to go longer at some point soon and hope to see 7 days before the year's end.  It's been very comfortable symptomatically for me as well in each of the four 5-day dry fasts i have done over the past 4 months and i am already beginning (in a way) to look forward to the next one.  

How long do you expect to go approximately and what was your longest before this one?

I had a hard time with vomiting as a kid too.  For some people it seemed easy and almost even pleasant, but for me it was quite a gut wrenching and "giving it everything i had" exhausting ordeal.  But yes we are big boys and girls now ;).
