Your doing terrific, I commend you, for your disciplining yourself by avoiding the raw milk that may have tempted you before, thats great!. You are absolutely right the further you go the more benefits you get from this fast and if your feeling great maybe you can make it to 21, that would be grand. Remember you need half the time of your fast to break it(if you go 18 days you need 9 to break it). Stay true to yourself. Give the girls and hugs every chance you have. Best to you.
