Well today is day one of my 50 day water fast. I ate my last meal about 6 hours ago so technically it's not been a day yet. However it's past midnight now so it's basically day 1. So I am a 19 year old, 5'11 Asian male, and 220lbs. I decided to make this life changing decision because of the problems I been having because of my weight and realized that to keep going like this is to self destruct. My old clothes don't fit me and I want to fit in them again. I have been getting sciatica which started about 2 weeks ago which is really painful. Going for extended walks like going to the store is a no no for me because i will end up just needing somewhere to sit to relieve the " electric" shocks going down my right leg. Just a couple days ago, I started having acid reflux which never happened before. I definitely have plenty of fat for my body to use to sustain quite an extended fast like this. I have quite the muscle on me as well from when I use to lift weights and workout. I'm aiming to lose 60lbs. Aim high and shoot for the stars! Wish me luck. This definitely will be a test of my willpower and inner strength. I'll keep you all posted if anyone is interested.
