Re: Weak, dizzy, bloated? Got salt? (Long)

Hi Denise,
That is very interesting to me too. I am a salt addict too I guess. I even have started shaking a little salt and cayenne on my hand and licking it off. I do sometimes feel dizzy and when I do, it's usually because I haven't had anything to drink in more than two hours. As soon as I drink, I feel better.

I was always someone who has to force myself to drink. I hate peeing all the time so hence not drinking. I instead, ate and gained too much weight. A woman at an OA meeting said that when you feel hungry, drink two glasses of water and see how you feel later. Most times when you think you are hungry, you're really thirsty. Problem is, I usually would rather eat than drink some water....:(
Which is how I came to be back on my second fast...

I'm on day 12 now and going for 30 or 40. I feel so much better as most people do on this, but have suffered terrible hunger this time around compared to a few days on the first fast. We'll see how it progresses. Thanks for your post.

Fasting is fun?
