67 Days, Day 1 Over With

I'm fasting 67 Days. End of Day 1.
1. Did I eat?
No sir.
2. What and how much did I drink.
I heated up the water about six times, 7 oz. each time.
3. Describe today's cravings.
The cravings come when someone cooks something really good. Then I lose focus on what I intended to do. I lost focus for hours and hours and couldn't meditate like I wanted to. Couldn't copy something word for word, although sometimes I calm down enough to read. Even massaged someone for 11 minutes. Lifted a book fifty times each arm.
4. Describe today's mood and other benefits.
At one point, I thought about how everything was so exciting in movies and how when we say were out to conquer a feat, it's something big, and I laughed at how being strong yesterday for me meant the measly task of not eating. I realized how simple and childish this was. I thought I was never going to be bored if I thought like this. Right now I feel content, light as a feather, and happy. Although not light as a cloud yet.
5. What helped me continue?
First I talked about it with a couple counselors on the phone or on the web. Then I realized that it took about 67 Days to form a habit. So whenever thoughts of food entered, I repeated, "67 days." I just need this long to rewire my brain circuits to not feel cravings anymore. These cravings won't go away even if I ate til my stomach is full. I never get hungry, only crazy cravings. Anyway, thinking of the end result of 67 days really helped.
6. What was helpful today?
Well, first of all, the counselors calmed me down. Next, googling how many days does it take to break a craving helped. So the Samaritans, SAM, 7 Cups of Tea, and Google helped. My family and friends helped too in being supportive.
7. What am I thankful for?
I thank God. Water. Ceramic pot to cook the water. Fire. Cloth to hold the pot when pouring. Myself for holding out against eating. Pat on the back! U.S. China. Places that allowed me to stay and live in peace. Birds outside chirping. My meditation teacher. CureZone.
8. What did I do today?
Texted my friend several times. Updated Facebook status several times. Set up three new gmail accounts, one for business news, one for psychology news, and one for engineering news. Walked around the house a bit. Exercised on the machine a bit. Watched a 67 Steps video by Tai Lopez. Repeated "Pleasure is a sacred part of my life" and "I am cool, calm, collected, and emotionally stable." Learned 10 new English words and 10 new Spanish words.
9. What is the meaning of existence?
67 days.
10. Why am I here?
67 days.
11. What will help me Day 2?
Repeat pleasure being sacred mantra. Think of 67 days.
12. What are my plans Day 2?
Go to the library and meet up with Sandy, my peer specialist. Just not eat. Learn 10 new English words and 10 new Spanish words. Read. Watch videos. Exercise. Tweet
