hi marion, glad to see you are keeping an eye on us. keeps me motivated. it is day 2 of my fast, going alright, i am not hungry but i am going to the show tonight and i ususally have popcorn--guess i'll just have to turn up my nose and tough it out. you are right about knowing when the time to start is right for you. you will do it when you are ready--no sense in starting if your heart and mind isn't into it. i know you will do great when you decide it is time. i am glad that you are here for me even if you aren't fasting with me. you are so wonderful for caring enough to check on us all. thank you. you take care and wish me luck--keep on posting. i will let you know how i made it through the movies tonight. love olivia
