Thank you very much, Archus. I do plan to continue with this fast but I very much do want to continue living as well so I will aim to take acute notice of my body's happenings and signs. Your kind words are very inspiring and will undoubtedly help me forge onward in this experience.
As a side note, do you (or anyone else for that matter) know why drinking water feels good when I drink it but shortly it gives me a stomach ache, or, if I have a stomach ache already, makes it worse? This is puzzling to me because I like drinking water.
