Re: First 30-day water only fast

Thank you Srinath and lifetechnologydotcom for your advice considering my teeth.

Don't worry Archus. I've read many of your posts. I won't do anything crazy. Srinath mentioned tooth powder in an early post and of course, this is something I plan to do after the fast, not during. Just water for me for now. Thank you for your concern though.

UPDATE: Today is DAY 5. No changes to my tongue or physical appearance. My weight is 130.6. Yesterday, I experienced a strong desire for food, but no hungry pangs. I'm still watching people eat and make food. Though I tried to avoid watching my husband eat last night. Other than that, I have nothing to report. I'm sorry this isn't a very interesting fasts. My two shorter fasts were much the same. I don't know if that means I have less toxins or what. That would be strange though as I have plenty of belly fat, which I've heard was the worst kind. In the past, I've always had a low weight (108-115) with belly fat. My legs, arms, butt, and chest get very skinny though. I'm not the type of person who cares about the number on the scale, but for my health and my experience I wish I could get my belly fat to a reasonable level. My lower stomach has never been below 33 inches although my upper belly has gotten down to 26 inches. I don't see other women like this. My husband and I went on our honeymoon recently and I noticed that girls who had an overall thicker appearance than me and probably weight between 145-160 has flat stomachs. It's become more of a quest to look normal in this department than to be thin. I have a double belly thing going on and I know it looks weird to people. If my belly has to store fat I wish it was more uniform. Also, I've had people who are just trying to help ask me if I've ever been pregnant and gotten a C-section as this problem occurs in a lot of woman who have due to damage to the muscle. But no, I've never been pregnant or had any abdominal work done.

I know all my problems must seem like problems of vanity, but I am also concerned that the outside has something to do with what's going on on the inside. Please let me know if any of you have any insight to what might be happening or if you have experienced the same. Thank you!
