Re: Water Fasting: My Story

I almost quit yesterday. I had so much left over BBQ filling up my house with the most amazing smells. Thanks to this forum I understand how bad and potentially dangerous it is to break a fast with meat, beans, and bread.

My mind was in sort of a haze yesterday and I felt extremely mentally weak. I guess that makes sense because I am typically a mentally weak individual but yesterday I just felt defeated. I felt like it was impossible for me to make it to my 21 days and I might as well quit now. Fortunately for me I did not and I survived day 8!

Yesterdays update has the wrong weight. I woke up at 212 yesterday not 214. Current weight this morning is 210. Total loss of 20 pounds. For some strange reason my sternum pain has come back to normal. I guess it was just more mild or maybe now repairs are starting. My teeth definitely look whiter at least to me, could be placebo and I have a lot of mucus.

One thing I did not anticipate was the muscle loss. Everywhere I read said mild muscle loss but I feel like I've lost a lot. My arms, my chest, and my Lats are all smaller.
