Day 2 (Monday, December 30, 2003) – Weighed 125 (three pounds lighter) this morning. Yeah! Feel great. Still occasional hunger pains, but again easily satiated by water.
In response to INDYSURFN: Thanks for the encouragement. I really don't think I could handle a fast of 30-40 days, but I admire the fact that you can. Perhaps I will simply break the fast when either a) my tongue gets pink (it's coated now) or b) I can't stand it any more. Does fasting that long interfere with your work? Please keep me updated on your progress--I am very curious. The only medicine I take is a daily vitamin, which I'm not taking during the fast. I have several books on fasting and find them very inspiring and encouraging--I agree that they are good to read while fasting. PS: Only a guy would PURPOSELY gain 12 pounds :-).
Hey, check out this place where you can go to water fast. I would love to go there someday. Sounds like just the place for you.
