mom-of-nine: best wishes to you with the fast! I don't feel guilty because I feel healthy, energetic, heartier than I have in years and I've lost 6.5 lbs in 3 days. I just find SOME of what Rowan has to say (NOT EVERYTHING-SHE IS VERY BRIGHT AND SHE CAN BE VERY INSIGHTFUL) to be overbearing, that's all.
