Hey that's great! I think the first 3 days of a fast is the hardest because it's still early enough to get out without investing a lot of work that you put in. But after that, every day just gets easier and easier. I even hide the scale sometimes just in case I get discouraged when I hit plateus. You're doing well and I would love a pal to chat with. I'm sort'ove a loner on this website but I do a lot of reading whenever possible since it keeps me motivated. I even have a bad habit of watching the foodnetwork channel because I miss food and when I see them make it and then at the end take a bite, I try and imagine the taste as if I was eating it too. I know it's weird but it's fun to do since I can't get the real thing, right. All in all, I find it quite easy so far... I just get a little bored during my regular eating cycles. It's amazing how much time one spends preparing and eating food, ya know? Well keep up the good work and give me a shout sometime! -Barbie
