Hang in there Phoenix! I'm by no means a veteran, I am on Day 7 and this is my first time fasting/cleansing. But I'm discovering that I am alot stronger than I ever believed I was! You can do it! The first few days are the hardest. I slept alot and generally felt rotten. But now I feel fantastic and don't even have any desire to eat. Just be gentle with yourself at the beginning and you will get through it just fine! :-)
